I predict this will backfire Big Time. The EUnuchs are grossly underestimating the Brit Tories’ resolve. Poland, the Czechs, and Hungary will stand with the Brits against the Brussels sproutheads; the EU will soon collapse.

Dunno about that. Poland and Hungary of late have been on Germany's side. The Czechs are divided; there are thorough anti-EU folk like President Vaclav Klaus (who decried the EU for behaving just like the USSR—he would know what that's like, having lived under that regime), but there are plenty of Eurocrats and Europhiles surrounding him in Prague.

The comments following the article are priceless. Reminds me of how our colonists reacted to the heavy handed threats from king George.

This ain’t going to end well for the EU.

British Tories resolves!?! LOL! Cameron may well have done the right thing on this occasion, but this is a blip in an otherwise less than stellar Tory record in giving in to the EU on every other major occasion.
As for Poland, the Czechs, Hungary etc they might have shared similar sentiments to Britain, but when it came down to it they folded faster than Flash Gorden on laundry day when they signed up for this BS...

Oh yeah, and if Cameron and the Tories had any real resolve, they’d have given us a referendum on whether to stay in the EU or not. As it happened, they wouldn’t even give us a referendum on whether to accept the EU Const- sorry Lisbon ‘Treaty’...
