I'm sure the French will be delighted!

Meanwhile, the French will continue to shaft the UK (and the other
nations who are large net contributors to the EU budget) by insisting
that the Common Agricultural Policy must never be reformed. It was of
course the claimed promise of CAP reform that Tony Bliar used to
justify giving away £7 billion of the UK's budget rebate in 2005.

Indeed, some of the older subscribers to the is newsgroup might recall
that CAP reform was promised in 1972 when the UK was negotiating to
join the Common Market. 40 years later, it hasn't happened and likely
never will.


Sorry, but that's a pathetically tenuous link for a quite irrelevant rant.

(Cue a reply telling me why it's totally relevant to my life and the
life of every other Brit, or some such!)
