Bully Blair

Our Dear Leader has struck on a great way to solve the budget problem. Taking candy out of the mouths of babies comes to mind.

Member states from central and eastern Europe are getting ready for tough talks on the EU budget with UK leader Tony Blair this week, following hints that the British presidency plans to propose sharp spending cuts for the bloc's poorest countries in 2007-2013.

If there is one group of countries that can justify spending our cash, its the new poor members. But Tony is going to pick on them and leave CAP alone. Its so much easier than fighting with Chirac.
