Mandy’s Been Got At

After making the mistake of not listening to "impartial" French advice, it seems our Trade Commissioner has been got at.

Peter Mandelson, the European Union trade chief, said Wednesday that the bloc's trading partners needed to take a "reality check" before world trade talks in Hong Kong, insisting that there would be no new tariff-reducing offer from the EU on farm products.

That doesn’t sound at all like he has come under French pressure does it?
