"Angela Merkel, favourite to replace Gerhard Schröder in September, said that it was unreasonable to expect Britain to surrender its rebate if France would not cut farm subsidies."
Heh, fantastic.
It's about time Germany stop doing the bidding of the French.
Can't wait for Merkel to replace Schroder in the Fall. I don't want to jinx her, and I have remarkable little faith in the Europeans, but it is a pretty good bet that Schroder is done.
"JACQUES CHIRAC suffered a double blow as the EU summit opened last night...."
Anything perceived as bad for Chirac and the French is good news in my book.
Longbow
ChIRAQ + sKerry = "ALMOST THE END of the WORLD"!
