No EU presidency for Blair

[heganboy]

Looks like Tony miscalculated badly and that he had no support on the Centre right group which dominates the EU parliament- interesting to see who "our" new president will be...

Did blighty think they could just go on not embracing the Euro and then expect to be the president of the ones who did??. Naive. The French and Germans were waiting for this day

Maybe war criminal Blair can become President of the make believe USGBNATO Republic of Afghanistan.

"our" new president

Why the emphasis, heganboy?

Please don't tell me you're one of those Irish people who talk about "us and the Europeans"?  You don't?  Phew.

I agree with the suggestion that the British stance on their independence within Europe is a major factor.  That and the fact that the big players in the EU were rightly pissed off with Blair lying about non-existent WMDs.

Yeah, it's one thing to lie, but quite another to get caught!
