Cheers Tony

May I take this opportunity to thank Mr Blair on his shameful surrender on the EU Budget. Not content with bleeding us Brits to death with tax anyway, so now at the end of this parliament we will find ourselves £2 billion worse off to Europe.

If you'd enjoy feeling worse - take a look at the Spending and Taxation Spend-o-Meter from the Taxpayer's Alliance website so you can be assured this government wastes the rest of our money just as recklessly (figures as from April 6th)

Bah Humbug !!!


(seriously though guys, Merry Christmas!)

This one has touched a nerve with me! Blair is simply a failure. He has left Brown with a monumental task of finding the extra ‘cash’ – as Cameron correctly said in the House of Commons, more tax rises? Cut’s in spending? Or more borrowing? £2 billion is double what he said in the house and will cost Britain £7.5 billion over 7 years (2006 – 2013) BUT this is permanent – so from 2014 to 2021 Britain will surrender £14 billion. He then had the cheek to explain to Cameron that rich countries pay for enlargement. He is correct in saying this but in June 2005 he said that the rebate was non-negotiable, so if the enlargement took place in May 2004 why did he say this? It’s a load of coble! His objective was clear - a reform of the rebate only in a reform of farm subsidies – objective failure in my eyes. What he got was only a vague promise to ‘review’ the subsidies. He also wants Turkey in, this is outrageous – I’ve been there and inland it is a Third World country! To join the EU a country must be a liberal democracy. The PM of Turkey once said it was more of a conservative democracy, meaning Human Rights violations etc. So what does everyone else think? Has Blair failed? Or is he right in giving up the rebate for enlargement? Personally I believe that CAP should be reformed before the rebate goes.
