The Sun Online - Sun Says All talk Tony
All talk Tony

THE truth is out.

Tony Blair’s surrender this week will be forever known as the Great British Giveaway.

Thanks to him, we will come off worst of all 27 EU countries in this week’s budget shake-up.

Hard-working Britons will get just HALF of the amount pocketed by the French. The amount we pay into EU coffers will RISE by almost 50 per cent.

And in return for what, exactly?

The empty promise of a “review” of barmy farmers’ subsidies some time in 2008.

A fat lot of good that will do.

The tough-talking PM promised to come away from the table with a good deal for Britain.

What complete and utter tosh.

We know a sell-out when we see one.

How about this:

  Invite Great Britain to leave the EU and join a new, exclusive economic and industrial partnership with us in the USA.  Also welcome in the partnership would be Poland and Eastern European nations who have been so supportive of the War on Terror.

Italy would be a 'maybe'....Prime Minister Berlusconi has said some very nice things about the USA and President Bush in times past, but we would need to stipulate that they 'get rid of the commies' in their country first.

Time to dump the EU. Come form an Atlantic Free Trade Zone with the US, Canada and Mexico.

And Gordon Brown is waiting in the wings....

Looking bad for old Tony.

But why do all politicians backbones turn to mush when confronted by the EU?

(Didn't happen to the great Lady of course, but she was special, very special.)

I just heard on BBC that the EU accused the US of dumping our crop surplus in the disguise of food aid!

The accusations were probably spoken with a heavy French accent.

Luxemborg? WTF?? They aren't exactly welfare cases. In 2003 there was only one country in the world with a GDP per capita higher than the United States, and it was no less than 50% higher - (drum roll) - yeh. Luxemborg. SOURCE.

The very fact that this newspaper makes 'how much we get' from Brussels the top of the story shows that leftist thinking controls even the tories.

"I might pay $55,000 in taxes but I got back $3,000 so I am happy" is crazy.

Dump the EU for a free trade bloc, no EU government whatsoever.

(England gets worst part of EU deal)

So, does that mean Scotland and Wales got off better or not?
