| Tucked away at the bottom of the Guardian's piece on this: 'While the €2.1bn bill is theoretically due by 1 December, the amending budget also has to be endorsed by the 28 governments of the EU and by the European parliament, meaning it could run into resistance if Britain is able to marshal enough allies and given that there are many European governments reluctant to hand an easy victory to those campaigning to take the UK out of the EU.' It's amazing how these stories come out just after a polled showed the highest UK support for staying in the EU in decades. The degree to which the current government is utterly inept in building international coalitions within Europe continues to stagger me. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/oct/23/uk-european-commission-eu-budget-contribution |
