Thanks for posting this excellent lecture. I've blogged about it on my website: http://www.eur-policy.com
I would like to know if the Queen has signed the Lisbon treaty and if indeed England, Scotland, Ireland will be no more as of this January/10 and if The Queen will no longer be considered the head of the Anglican Church.
