...amused by our "self-reliance" "big society" "no to welfare dependency" Prime Minister throwing an absolute stinker of a tantrum over the UK annual EU rebate (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/9698054/EU-talks-risk-collapse-as-Britain-and-France-battle-over-rebate.html).

Where's my government monies and VanRompuyfone?

Bonus hilarity: you'll note the UK is arguing for more benefits for itself, whilst telling the EU to cut its overall budget.

I sincerely believe 90% of what the Tories believe about Labour and the Lib Dems is projection, how they would act in the same situation, and this is doing nothing to persuade me that I'm wrong.

This is reminiscent of the US "fiscal cliff" -- apparently, when strict deficit-cutting measures loom, all the conservatives start saying how it will doom the economy.  Validating Keynes, much/
