How the Brussels edition of the Times' front page reported the Irish polling yesterday. Spot the deliberate mistake.
Being charitable I have come to the conclusion that the Thunderer was just trying to be nice to its Brussels readership.
Short experiment with democracy ending

Does anyone doubt that only a few backwards countries would actually vote FOR this "treaty"? At this point I think a Dutch re-vote would be even close to 75% Nee. The UK probably the same. The EU trade zone did well by the Irish but unless the vote is rigged I would put money on a convincing No vote.

It was the other way around: 35 against the treaty and 30 % for.
The title is thus also a lie. The Irish were not cool
