THE last hope of blocking a new European constitution was snuffed out last night - the final kick in the teeth after Labour's betrayal of Britain. The Czech Republic became the last EU nation to sign the Lisbon Treaty, which will now become law.
Gordon Brown's Labour broke a promise to give 60million Britons a say on it.
Now it's too late as we are dragged screaming into a vastly more powerful European Union yesterday.
The last remaining opposition to the new EU constitution ended when Czech president Vaclav Klaus was forced to sign the Lisbon Treaty.
His reluctant endorsement meant the document has been ratified by all 27 EU states and will become as good as LAW on December 1.
Gordon Brown - a key element of a Labour Government that reneged on its promise to hold a referendum on the treaty - hailed the move as "an important and historic step for all of Europe".

Tory Shadow Foreign Secretary William Hague said: "We think it is a bad day for democracy."
David Cameron will today spell out a new attack plan to reform the treaty if he becomes Prime Minister.
The treaty will trigger a massive shift of power to Brussels. It will mean:
1. EU judges deciding some of Britain's criminal laws.
2. A POWERFUL new Euro president, foreign policy supremo and diplomatic service.
3. UNIONS able to strike more easily under the Charter of Fundamental Rights, which could take us back to the dark days of 1970s industrial strife.
4. NATIONAL vetoes being dumped in 16 key areas including transport, home affairs and energy policy.
5. GREATER EU control over immigration and asylum seekers, including benefit entitlements.
6. In the treaty's small print, national leaders are given the right to cede even MORE power to Europe without having to ask voters.
England; 200 years of history unhampered by progress.
And still the Euro is kicking the dollar in the teeth!
The concept of a European Union is just window dressing for an elite based One World Order.
Let’s fight this baby while it’s still in the crib because it’s going to grow and grow and grow.
England already has lost her nuts and can’t even stand up anymore.
The public gets the kind of government that it deserves. If they wanted free benefits and world government, this is a consolidation toward that end.
They will reap what they sow.
Why doesn’t Britain stand up and fight?
The liberal elite doesn’t care what the masses want: liberals know what’s best for the common folk.
European Union is evil
I didn’t even know this was going on in the UK ... it took a call from friends in London to clue me in. They are livid over in London today ...
Let’s make sure this type of “slight of hand” does not occur here!
Sad day in the UK
Hitler tried a new world order by force, and if he had only waited, the people would have voted it in on their own.
And the socialist superstate of Eurasia is officially born...
Why don’t they abrogate the treaty? What’s the EU gonna do? Sue?
Unfortunately, we also reap what they sow.
We need to watch the UN agenda in the US housing market ... definitely trying to get a foot in the door ...
“In the treaty’s small print, national leaders are given the right to cede even MORE power to Europe without having to ask voters.”

Read this and weep ... we are next and soon unless we derail this steam roller in power now.
We do not have time to dither and make useless preening and toothless speeches.
God help us in our day, in Jesus name, amen.
We’ll abrogate the treaty the moment Labour is out.
David Cameron has denied that his party is in turmoil on Europe, as he came under pressure over his decision to abandon plans for a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty.
The Tory leader indicated that he will unveil a promise that power will never again be handed over to Brussels without the approval of the British people.
He blamed Gordon Brown's Government for allowing the treaty - which achieved ratification on Tuesday with the signature of Czech President Vaclav Klaus - to become law without a referendum.
Most Tory eurosceptics appear to have accepted shadow foreign secretary William Hague's argument that a referendum on Lisbon is no longer possible, as the Treaty is now law and its provisions, including a permanent President of the European Council and the loss of some British vetoes, cannot be undone.
But there is growing pressure for Mr Cameron to promise a vote of some kind on Britain's relations with the EU.
Good for you!
Why dont they abrogate the treaty? Whats the EU gonna do? Sue?
