Quite.

The average family in Britain pays an addition £1500 on their food bill because of the Common Agricultural Policy and to maintain French farmers. To add insult to injury, the price of food is calculated into welfare payments. The CAP has to go and immediately.

The French have been behaving disgracefully lately between this and Iraq. I wonder if President Bush could be persuaded to put them into the Axis of Evil? ;)

Bump!

I like your posts Ivan and I like the British not bowing to the "Diktat" of the EU. In the family we call Mr. Chirac simply "Jacqouille la Fripouille".

Instead of joining the United States of Europe, why not join the United States of America?

Personally, if I were W, I'd send an email to Chirac with a white flag of surrender, superimposed over the French flag. The next photo would be that of the American and British flags aligned side-by-side. The note would read, "Get out of the way. We got a Texan in charge now." Signed, George W. Bush.

Speaking of Agincourt, supposedly the well-known 'bird' or middle finger gesture as a token of extreme contempt dates from that famous battle.

The French served notice that any English longbowman who might be caught would be penalized by losing his middle finger, thus making him useless for archery. When the English stomped all over the French (as usual), they expressed their disrespect for their prisoners by prominently displaying their intact middle fingers.

I'd like to see Tony Blair flip Chirac the bird, right to his face.

No surprises here. When you hop in bed with a pig, you're going to get muddy.

While I hesitate to question your figures, the 1500 pound per family seems unbelievable. That is over $2300. I can't see how even mind-numbed socialist robots could accept that with nothing valuable in return.

This should do your heart some good. Best piece of Britain vs. France literature since The Bard wrote Henry V.
