A win for the EU sceptics but the philes are still odds on to win Referendum

The EU sceptics did well last night to block the government from calling a referendum at 4 weeks notice, now 4 months notice will be needed, and bending the Purdah rules: Here is a list of 37 Tories who voted against Cameron's little scheme to 'fix' the referendum.

Richard Bacon
Steve Baker

Andrew Bridgen
Bill Cash

A notable omission is the man we call in Somerset the Young Fogey, Jacob Rees Mogg. There will be others whom the whips have fixed. Note Farage's nemesis Craig MacKinlay voted against Cameron.

So they have queered Cameron's pitch and stopped him blatantly deploying the UK government civil service machine to support the remain in campaign. The problem is they cannot bind the EU which is not subject to British law and is 'controlled' by EU law but of course we all know its the other way round, the EU control the European judges.

The EU spends huge amounts of your money promoting itself in the UK with much of this money finding its way into the pockets of lobbyists like whom the BBC wheels out as 'independent' experts for comment on EU schemes.

Then of course there is the BBC itself with its blatantly EU phile agenda.

Its a huge mountain to climb. Our best hope is a photographic game changer close to the referendum date spread alll over the media like the poor Syrian boy's  body on that Turkish beach.
