That Budget Thing

The response to Our Dear Leader’s budget proposal is more nuanced than most of the pres is reporting. According to the BBC’s press cuttings:

Czech financial daily Hospodarske Noviny: Mr Blair is not the only one to blame for the budget mess, it was France and Germany who made sure that subsidies to farmers remain unchanged until 2013. Czech daily Pravo The inequalities of the budget only serve to vindicate, it says, those who say "the whole solidarity message is just a bluff by the Brussels bureaucrats"

So our newer members are not quite so naïve or self serving as we had been lead to believe. Pity then that TB has offered any of our cash.
