So, the former footballer and TV presenter Ian Wright backs the European Constitution (despite it no longer being on the table), albeit in a roundabout way when he says in The Sun: "Apart from that, I think signing up to the Constitution would be a great idea".

What is the "apart from that"? Four things the constitution would not have done (and the Reform Treaty certainly doesn’t do). He says "I don't want the EU to dictate our foreign policy (it wouldn’t), I don't want them deciding on how we police our borders and who we let in, (they wouldn’t) I don't want the EU to have the power over our courts so they can decide how long murderers get. (it wouldn’t) And I don't want the Euro" (a totally different issue).

As his fears are all placated, I trust that it is his last comment ("great idea") that applies and that he will be campaigning to resurrect the constitution, or at least, support the Reform Treaty.
