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.

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?
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!
