We must pay our fair share

Traitor Blair has explained why we have to give up part of the EU rebate.

Apparently, we have to pay our fair share and our fair share is more than it is now because we have to help pay for the cost of EU enlargement.

Now I may be misunderstanding things here. You see, my impression was that the enlargement of the EU was about making it better, stronger. If it's going to cost billions every year to enlarge the EU, what exactly is the benefit of enlargement?

Britain already pays the second highest contribution to the EU and once Traitor Blair has frittered away the UK rebate to make sure that the EU's 7 year budget is signed off, we might even make it as the highest contributor.

In the meantime, while Traitor Blair has been compromising with our taxes, the French have once again refused point blank to even consider a reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) which accounts for over 40% of the EU's entire budget and of which they are the EU's biggest beneficiary.

Throughout the British presidency of the EU, the UK has been constantly blamed for holding up an agreement on the EU budget over Traitor Blair's refusal to compromise on the UK rebate. Traitor Blair offered to compromise on the rebate if France compromised on the CAP which they have refused to do.

So what's the difference? It's because we're not French or German. EU member states are supposed to be treated as equals. My arse.
