PRESIDENT Barack Obama�s administration gave Britain a stark warning yesterday against moves to quit the EU.

Philip Gordon, the US assistant secretary for European affairs, said in London that pulling out could hurt the trans-Atlantic �special relationship�.

He said it was in America�s interests to see �a strong British voice in the EU� and added: �We welcome an outward-looking EU with Britain in it.�

The US warning came as Prime Minister David Cameron prepares to come clean at last about his EU referendum plans in a long-anticipated speech expected the week after next.

But he is set to disappoint anti-Brussels campaigners by delaying a referendum until at least 2018, it emerged last night.

And he has told allies that he will campaign to keep the UK within the EU in the run-up to the historic poll.

A source close to the Prime Minister last night dismissed reports of the contents of the speech as �speculation�. The source said: �Wait for the speech.�

But Whitehall insiders indicated that Mr Cameron will use the opportunity to announce his plans for a major renegotiation of Britain�s terms of membership of the EU.

In the Commons yesterday Mr Cameron told MPs: �I think it is right that we are involved in the single market, we�re active players within the European Union.

�But there are changes we would like in our relationship that would be good for Britain and good for Europe.�

According to a report in today�s Spectator magazine, Mr Cameron�s speech will commit Britain to staying within the EU single market but scrap powers not covered by single-market legislation such as the Working Time Directive, which limits working hours for employees.

Sources told the magazine that Mr Cameron was �confident of victory� in a campaign to keep Britain in the EU because the prospect of an exit would �panic business�.

Euro-sceptic critics were unenthusiastic. Tory MP Peter Bone said: �If there is another coalition after the next election there is the danger this referendum pledge could be abandoned.�

I suppose we are all gong to kowtow to the mighty bullshit coming from the USA, and as our clown prime minister is not going to give us a say in whether we want ot leave the EU that only leaves two scenarios, vote them out or a full scale rebellion, sorry there is a third, just do as your told.
I know which one it will be, do you.
