Yes, I think it was announced to cause maximum embarrassment to DC.
But then isn't this much like the benefit culture we have in this country?
Those who scrimp and save are penalised.....those who do not work, or spend all the money they earn are given more to be spendthrift with.

Because the UK has taken tough decisions, because we have had a long time of austerity.....and yes our economy might be better, but the evidence is that the man in the street is not feeling it......so the EU wants to dib into our pockets and rob us of £56 from each and every tax payer.....so that those in France can have a rebate.....those in Germany too.
What can they do if we say 'sit on it and twist til your nose bleeds'.....well they could fine us 200 million Euros......isn't that a lot less than 1.7 billion pounds ?
The EU needs us much more than we need them.
The sooner we are out of it the better!
Can you hear me Mr Jones?
