Could Belgian prime minister who wants EU-wide tax be even worse than Tony Blair as European president?
BY JASON GROVES AND SOPHIE FREEMAN
Tony Blair's bid for the presidency of Europe was gaining fresh momentum last night after his chief rival for the job called for the introduction of new EU taxes. One British source said the former Prime Minister now had the support of up to a dozen of the EU's 27 leaders as the contest to fill the £270,000-a-year post enters its final stages.
Gordon Brown has launched a frantic round of phone calls in support of Mr Blair's bid. He will spend much of the next 24 hours on the phone to EU leaders pressing them to support the former Prime Minister.
Blair's prospects, which were thought to be fading, were boosted yesterday by the revelation that the frontrunner, Belgian prime minister Herman Van Rompuy, hopes to use the post to promote the introduction of EU-wide taxes a move which would be unpopular with many national governments. (No fucking shit!)
Swedish prime minister, Fredrik Reinfeldt, who is coordinating the selection process, indicated yesterday that he wanted a deal stitched up before EU leaders meet to choose the new president at a summit in Brussels tomorrow. But British diplomatic sources indicated last night that they expected the contest to be a close one and Swedish officials conceded yesterday that the summit could overrun into the weekend. Centre-right leaders, who dominate the EU, have been unable to agree on a candidate, leaving open the possibility that Blair could yet get the job.

Centre-right leaders, who dominate the EU, have been unable to agree on a candidate, leaving open the possibility that Blair could yet get the job.
Van Rompuy, 62, has emerged as the frontrunner but has been unable to cement his position. One British diplomat described him as 'everyone's second or third choice.' Yesterday it emerged that Van Rompuy, who is virtually unknown outside his own country, hopes to use the presidency to promote the introduction of EU-wide taxes.
According to the respected Belgian newspaper De Tijd, Van Rompuy told the meeting: ‘New resources will be necessary for the financing of the welfare state. Green tax instruments are a possibility, but they are ambiguous. This type of tax will eventually be extinguished, but the possibility of financial levies at European level must be seriously examined, and for the first time the large countries in the union are open to that.’ (Just try asking the people of those "large countries" about that and see what they have to say, you cunt!)
The idea of EU taxes has been mooted before and roundly rejected by Britain. But the suggestion that the new EU president might interfere in national taxation policy is likely to ring alarm bells not only in Britain but in more Euro-sceptic countries, such as Poland, Denmark and the Czech Republic.
Van Rompuy's party also called for national symbols to be 'replaced by European symbols' on everything from car number plates to ID cards.
He outlined his plans to a meeting of the secretive Bilderberg group in Brussels last week.
(I don't know about you, but that's got all my alarm bells ringing!)

Not so long ago I said half-jokingly, when Blair seemed to be out of the running, that Labour and the EU were probably using reverse psychology on us all to make it appear that the bastard didn't just waltz into the job! I'm sitting here writing this now, thinking to myself - "fuck me, maybe they really are using reverse psychology"! And if so, they've stepped it up a gear to actually try and make the cunt look appealing to us, as opposed to Van Rumpy-Pumpy, the foaming-at-the-mouth, commie Belgian tax maniac!
Un-be-fucking-lievable - every time I think that they couldn't possibly be that fucking blatant and see-through, they fucking well go and fucking do it, the cunts, right down to forcing us all into carrying ID cards, ("papieren, bitte"!), and expunging all national flags and anthems!! So this is what the lying twat, McFuckwit, means by "transparency"!
Not only that, but the fucking Bilderberg group, (headed up by the bloody Rothschilds), is up to its usual tricks as well as up to its fucking neck in it! And they say there ain't no such thing as the "Illuminati" - bollocks - I'm off to get my tinfoil hat!
So - Blair is not dead and gone from our lives just yet - in fact he's feeling better and appears to be about to make a miraculous recovery! Not that I'm cynical or anything but.......don't be surprised when he's poncing about all over the world with his fucking old ugly witch of a wife in tow, both of them lording it over us all as President and First Lady of the EU and grabbing as much publicity and money as they possibly can - again!

+++ UPDATE +++
WHO THE FUCK ARE THEY?
WHO THE FUCK ARE THEY?
It looks like Rumpy-Pumpy has got the job, so we should be safe from Blair and his old hag for at least another five years. Baroness Ashton has got the Foreign Minister's job so that saves us from any possibility of Militwat getting it - phew!! It appears that Merkel blocked Blair's bid for the presidency - thank fuck she doesn't like him!

ReplyDeleteMcStalin is cutting it a bit fine on saving the world isn't he. I thought every second counted and no distraction was great enough whilst wearing The Cape.
God help us all Spider. It does not matter who gets the job we are all screwed.
ReplyDeleteHmm, don't understand this new comment box Spider, anyway the last post was me, TheBigYin from Freedom-2-Choose blog.
ReplyDeleteAnd it is just in time for the panto season.
ReplyDeleteThe grand vizier wins in this one.
How right you are, CS!
ReplyDeleteNow that the Obamessiah has decreed that there will be no deal in Copenhagen, the whole "tax us to death and beyond" extravaganza has been shelved until a more convenient time for them all! ;)
We are supposed to be as thick as goldfish and completely forget what McTagnuts said! =-O
Cunts!
Extremely hard and dry up the shitter, AOM! >:o
ReplyDeleteBS, Blair's dream was always to become a top Bilderberger. He's very close.
ReplyDeleteRighty-ho, Big Yin - if you click where it says "Guest", you can type in your moniker and if you hover your mouse pointer over the place where your avatar should go, you will see a pencil appear - click on that and you can browse your files and upload your avatar.
ReplyDeleteOr - you can go here, http://js-kit.com/, and create an account/profile, (it's free), and then this blog and any other blog using JS-Kit comments will recognise you every time you visit and log you in automatically.
Easy! :-D
Watch out, VotR - he's behind you! =-O
ReplyDeleteYou are not kidding, OR, the top of that greasy pole is almost within reach!
ReplyDelete>:o
Scary, very, very scary ...
ReplyDeleteThe stuff of nightmares, Edgar! =-O
ReplyDeleteI see you got your log-in singing and dancing - good lad! :-D
Still, it would be convenient to have him in the same city as his old job. Let him bring in the taxes and see the whole kaboodle implode.
ReplyDeleteIt would be a huge implosion too, James, it surely would be the absolute final straw!!
ReplyDeleteThe sheer arrogance is breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteHoly Crap, Spidey, it seems you guys are even MORE screwed than we are presently in America, and that's saying something. I have my tin foil hat ready too! They are so wickedly evil, clever and transparent that if this was fiction, it would be unbelievable! Good Luck with this latest outrage.
ReplyDeletePS: You were in fine form with your rant and swearing! I always feel vicariously better when I read a good rant, don't you fucking know...hee hee :*
"Swedish prime minister, Fredrik Reinfeldt, who is coordinating the selection process, indicated yesterday that he wanted a deal stitched up... " Welcome to the EUSSR Selectocracy; how about asking us what we we want, like when it's a democracy ? Herman 'Rumpy' Van Rompuy ? What a dippy little old cunt he is, who the fuck wants him for EU 'president' ?
ReplyDeleteBilderburgers even got a mention in todays Daily Telegraph, they won't like that.
I'm still not entirely convinced that they won't slip Blair into the post as I still think this is all merely a smokescreen to distract us from what's really happening! Reinfeldt is now saying that he will accept a majority vote which means that only three or four more have to be persuaded to vote for Bliar!! ;)
ReplyDeleteThe Bilderberg group have also getting far too much publicity for their liking! :-D
They are the epitome of comic book "diabolical fiends", Bunni, so thanks for the good wishes - we're going to need all the luck we can get! :)
ReplyDeleteI certainly felt better after a good rant and I can see you felt better, too - maybe you should try it some more and let off some of that head of steam that's been building up recently! ;)
Incredible, isn't it, Scunnert? They all need to be taken away for re-education and returned only when they've learned some humility and respect for the population - a taste of their own medicine!! :-P
ReplyDeleteGotta avoid giving up your sovereignty. Do any European countries worry about that?
ReplyDeleteHi, Opie, copious amounts of people in the EU, denied the opportunity by their governments of voting in referenda are worrying about this every day. Governments, however, are doing what they always do and only worrying about themselves.
ReplyDelete>:o
I have one word for you that we like to bandy about in the U.S. during times of socialist takeover: secede. I still think the E.U. needs you more than you need them.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely right, SB, secede is spot on and you are also right when you say that the EU needs us more than we need them for all sorts of reasons. If I know the EU like I think I do, they will try to fuck up and sideline the financial sector in the City of London as they attempt to make Frankfurt the financial hub of the EU! I sincerely hope that they don't get away with it.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I created an account with Wordpress and now I have an all-singing and dancing log-in over at your place - and, of course, any other Wordpress blog - easy! :-D
ReplyDeleteAdding insult to injury, UK gets the wooen spoon prize of fake 'lady' Leatherneck who's never done a proper job in her life nor stood for election to public office. As G.O.T. said, they really are taking the piss.
ReplyDeleteI saw on the news today the belgium guy got the top job. ANd some bimbo got another spot. I'm with Snarkey, succeed while you can.
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend, I'm feeling great and I'm not letting ANYONE steal my joy!
Hi, Bunni,
ReplyDeleteThings don't seem quite so bad as they did a few days ago - the simpering Blair-creature didn't get the job and the one who did get it is a nondescript bureaucratic nutter! No-one knows who the fuck she is either - sums up the EU rather well, really! *DONT_KNOW*
I'm glad you're feeling better so go and have yourself a great weekend!! :-D
They are all the same the whole world over, TAC, fuckwits to a man and you're right - give them an inch and they take several miles! O:-)
