Europe has a new President...
What a farce. Europe has it's first president and foreign minister..
Hands up if you've ever heard of the. What no one ???
In a stitch-up between the two big blocs of the EU, the Centre Right fell in behind Herman Van Rompuy, the Belgian Prime Minister, to take that job.
The centre-left Socialist leaders backed Baroness Ashton of Upholland, Britain’s Trade Commissioner, to be the first High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy, as well as vice-president for external affairs.
The saving grace is that Tony B'Liar didn't get the job..
Quite - the only thing we'll get out of this will be emptier pockets.........
'Up there for thinking....down there for dancing.'
It's the boys making jobs for themselves and the taxpayers will have to foot the bill..
You're right bleu, but to be honest I don't think it matters one bit what his title is. As brit said, it's all a carefully organised stitch-up which will probably turn out to mean very little in real terms.........
'Up there for thinking....down there for dancing.'
He's not a president of Europe, he's the president of the European council.
