Via David Cameron under pressure to block EU demand for £400 per British family – Telegraph.
British officials said Mr Cameron would seek to form an alliance with leaders from countries including France, Germany, Holland and Sweden to fight the planned rise. Last night a Downing Street source said: “The Commission has come up with a ludicrous figure. We see this is an opening salvo, but we have already begun reviving the group of leading nations to combat it and demand a lower figure.”
Isn’t it absurd that the UK, France, Germany, Holland and Sweden now face a bureaucratic monster, largely of their own creation, so powerful that these great nations can only “fight the planned rise”?
