Gordon Brown in court today over broken referendum pledge

Well sort of. A former Labour activist is taken Gordon Brown to Brighton County Court today for breach of contract over the promise for a referendum on the EU Constitution Lisbon treaty.

Stuart Bower, a former police officer, and also a former constituency secretary for Hove Labour Party in 1997 has had the papers served and the Government is apparently going to defend itself in open court. If there is a case to answer it will be referred to the High Court.

Strange that such a thing is not running on the BBC website at the moment, as it's quite significant that the case has got as far as it has.

Update: The BBC did comment on it a week ago it seems.

With your newly acquired specialist knowledge Dizzy, you could offer yourself as the BBC's Court Correspondent.
