    Im sorry Dave Im afraid I cant do that

    They even look alike :p


    Paupers, cant they cover a little 25bn without us. If France is so much better off then us it should be no problem

    Isnt this a bit naughty of Dave to disagree after sorting the Irish package out first though that was for much less

    I think this is Dave playing hard ball, he wants his veto back and you cant play until he gets it

    Perhaps a few of these retire at 50 EU countries

    Arent they all up to near 65 now. Iam not sure but seems like the first thing they should standardise with the new 26 as its linked to alot of money and costs in budgets isnt it

    I think I can almost hear Sarkozy's reaction to this over here.

    I doubt that his comments are in anyway personal. There's a desperate attempt to keep the Eurozone concept afloat without taking the envitable action of austerity.

    You can't blame him really I suppose, fantasy is often better than reality.

    The French take rioting much more seriously than us and have more experience. Riots and austerity are not a good mix in an election year.

  • Time to rid ourselves of this European adventure and cast our sail to pastures new. Let them all sink.

    I think Dave needs to call a General Election now, wipe them Liberals out of the Coalition, nobody in their right mind will vote Labour with a Milliband in charge either.

    This is Dave's Thatcher Argentina moment.
