But that rebate was won in 1984 when the UK was the second poorest EU nation, and the CAP accounted for 70 percent of the budget. Now that budget is under 50% and the Uk is the second richest nation.<BR/><BR/>So why should Poland and all the other poor countries take a cut in investments they thought they were goi8ng to get just because Blair is desperate not to be seen as weak?beatroothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11242716221133886807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13112593.post-1134567258779206062005-12-14T14:34:00.000+01:002005-12-14T14:34:00.000+01:00I'd say Crawford isn't so much rude and ungrateful...I'd say Crawford isn't so much rude and ungrateful as rude and condescendingly arrogant (a fine but important distinction). <BR/>And two points:<BR/>a) The parts I agree with are the sheer dead weight Chirac's France has become, a major liability for any group of nations it's a part of.<BR/>b) The Polish government (not just this one, but the last several) should be deeply ashamed that they've done so miserably in terms of job creation.

Shame on them! <BR/><BR/>But Mike, the main part of the reported comments was the 'rude and ungrateful' bit. Just what has Poland got to be grateful to Britain for? They seem to think that letting it in the EU was some act of charity - instead of what it is - using Poland and Poles has some kind of client state and a source of cheap labour and a good place to outsize companies to reduce costs. <BR/><BR/>Crawford is the 'rude and ungrateful'one.beatroothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11242716221133886807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13112593.post-1134559603540471142005-12-14T12:26:00.000+01:002005-12-14T12:26:00.000+01:00Wonder why Hungary was left out from the unpronoun...Wonder why Hungary was left out from the unpronounceables list :)...<BR/>I feel conspiracy lurking around here.SugarDayFoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13101916442422118678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13112593.post-1134500465287464722005-12-13T20:01:00.000+01:002005-12-13T20:01:00.000+01:00that was the most exciting thing to allegedly come...that was the most exciting thing to allegedly come out of brussels since Tin-Tin.Bicyclemarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08523524944263807244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13112593.post-1134481538348469122005-12-13T14:45:00.000+01:002005-12-13T14:45:00.000+01:00okay, that's understandable, a leaker with a grudg...okay, that's understandable, a leaker with a grudge (against ....?) <BR/><BR/>The thing of it is, though, that there is a fair amount of sense in what he says (fatal mistake in politics - being concrete and right instead of wishy washy and talking in meaningless abstractions).
