Deal! EU Budget Cut For the First Time Ever
Dave has got his deal, with the EU budget facing a real-terms cut. As seems to be the way nowadays, it was announced on Twitter:
Deal done! #euco has agreed on #MFF for the rest of the decade. Worth waiting for.—
Herman Van Rompuy (@euHvR) February 08, 2013
Secretive European Parliament president and Labour ally Martin Schulz is livid – saying the deal has been done according to the “lowest common denominator” – which must be a good thing. Britain’s contribution is still going to rise, however. We await the details…
UPDATE: It is worth remembering that this is hardly a win for the British taxpayer:
Clearly a huge victory for David Cameron: looks like he's managed to increase the UK contributions!—
Nigel Farage (@Nigel_Farage) February 08, 2013
Oh good a slight reduction in our protection money in exchange for even more totalitarianism.
The deal was done a long time ago. These dictators have been working out how to spin the story to us monkeys.
Dave’s victory will unravel when we have the details… believe me !
Dave does understand numbers.
Despite the historic reduction in the overall size of the EU budget the British government could still end up have to pay more in contributions into Brussels budgets.
Officials have calculated that Britain’s payments could rise by £500 million as share of the budget going to newer member countries, such as Poland and Romania that joined the EU after 2004, increases.

No he doesn’t. A couple of weeks ago the cnut said his Government was cutting the National Debt.
He is an innumerate Oxford PPE graduate who doesn’t know the difference between the Deficit and the Debt.
He is an ignorant bastard who is not fit to be Prime Minister.
All he is good at is promoting the interests of his gay mates.
We need to get rid of the fucker asap.

….and replace him with who?
Martin Schulz doesn’t sem to think the deal is done yet “My signature is required for definitive adoption of budget, I cannot, will not and may not accept what amount to deficit budgets. #euco”

Zero EU budget contributions.
That would be a success.
Its almost like Cameron telling everyone that he is cutting UK debt when its going through the roof.
Every time I see a pictuire of Herman van Rompuy I am reminded of how a friend described a chap chap up one of the villages high up in the Dales.
He said “He just looks like one of those things that pokes its head over the wall and spits at you.”
It should have read like this:-

A camel?
Budget is cut but cash UK pays to EU is going up. Same as Cameron’s veto, Cameron vetoed and others went ahead with it.
The Cash the UK pays the EU is going up because Tony Fucking Blair, Red Ed, Gordon and the rest of the useless fcuking Labour Party signed us up to paying more in 2005/6.
Since nobody seems to care that the auditors refuse to sign the accounts every year, who cares about the budget.
They were signing Enron accounts as well.
At least Van Rumpy-Pump’s tweet shows that he is clearly familiar with one of the great British war movie scenes of all time.
OH Shit,, So thats more Money for OSBOOM to blow.. At least the EU taking it some European Fraudster would have got something out of it.. This Way these useless Wankers will build some more Offshore Windmills that will have to be pulled down as they will drown the country as they pick up the water and put it into the Air.
this type of thing makes me want to do a poo and not flush
I think you need help if you think that is a normal comment to make !
UK is paying more cash not less.
As long as we pay in some useless currency like the Euro, there need not be a down-side to that.
Interesting, but omits to mention that we still have to buy the mickey mouse money first.

A clear pattern that despite the pledge to an in/out EU referendum from the Conservative Party there is still potential for UKIP to take votes from the Conservatives to the advantage of the Labour Party.
This has definately been spun. Remember Call Me Dave’s Veto. Will turn out to be a load of bollocks again.
Why should we take any notice of somebody who cant even spell !
Miserable sod !
Ed applying pressure on the government seems to have paid off. Didn’t the government oppose this?
They only thing Ed is fit to apply pressure on is that big blue vein that runs up Lens shaft
The only thing Millionaireband has ever succeeded at is shafting his own brother.
The only thing Millionairedave has ever succeeded at is shafting the poor.
The only thing Labour’s multiMillionairblair succeeded at was murdering millions with his war-mongering.
And the current Labour front bench supported him.
Didn’t both Millipedes shaft some telly person – but probably not simultaneously.
Oh, now I remember – it was only one, wasn’t it. Apologies to the other one.
Please clarify your comment,I didnt think ED was in government.
Sensing a ‘peasants revolt’ are they?
Britain’s contribution goes up
Only “call me Dave” could secure a deal which reduces the EU budget, yet ends up costing us more.
Britain’s contribution will fall. Dave is correct. But the rebate that we get will also fall as a result of the mechanism that was agreed with Phoney Blair when he gave away much of our rebate.
If your going to blame anyone, blame the person responsible, BLIAR and the tossers he had around him; Miliband, Miliband, Brown and Balls
No, I blame myself. As we all should. We should have put our foot down to this fraudulent form of anti-democratic Euro-politics years ago.
Still, its not quite too late. We can still solve this. That’s why we are British and better than the idiots of the continent, who get mesmerized and taken in by every tinpot Napoleon, Hitler and Van Rumpy who comes along.
Essential point, well made.
We must always remind ourselves and otherthat this is the case.
Very “diluted ” British…
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Keep drinking the EU supplied Kool Aid Guido
Do not forget the term ‘Off budget’ whilst getting over excited. It will come to haunt you
So we pay more while everyone else pays less.
Brilliant, well done Dave.
You dont seem to have grasped what actually happened, you havent started drinking already have you ?
Even I’m sober enough to know that it is because Phoney Millionblair agreed to a progressive reduction in the UK’s rebate. Wake up, Danny Boy.

Funnily enough the euro parliament don’t seem to think so..
As Ed bollocks would probably say “Who Cares.”
Listen, stupid Englander. Ve haf vays….
Less is more. Again.
Great minds
In the Caption Contest, I had consecutive remarks with Bill Quango MP three times in a row today. I had a similar encounter with Pawn Sandwich over content earlier.
Are they putting something in the water?
Shhhh.
@CRMM : So which one of you is the Great Attractor ?
Must be the fluoride of the month.

You must be the BBC and I claim my £5-00, only they do repeats close together!
No, Sky news do/does exactly the same thing, round and round all day.
Sent on my Ipad from the sofa in front of the telly.
Finished or not, he achieved the main objective of re defining Marriage .
The BBC will be sh*tting themselves on the 6 0′Clock news tonight.
They won’t want to lead on a Cameron budget reduction victory for fear it will make him popular, and if they use the UK contribution increase angle it will make Farage even more popular!
They’ll have to go for Horsemeat kills patients at South Staffs Hospital!!
To save money we minced the meat after it was eaten
This story looks good to trot!
You pretty much nailed it! The slimy Beeboids even wheeled out a Liebore gobshite to blame the government for horse meat lasagne!
The EU Budget Prognosis
Said Dave “I’m off to Europe to ensure they cut the budget
If me and Merkle both collude I know that we can fudge it
I’ll come home draped in glory, we’ll gain lots more vote for sure
The voters just wont realise that we’ll be paying more”
Alas poor Dave don’t realise that voters aren’t that dim
Unlike the Tory faithful there not taken in by him
The UKIP vote will turf him out we know they marked his card
This Cameron and Merkle scam is simply a charade
And once mass immigration comes here early on next year
The cut backs and the bedroom tax will stoke the Tory fear
They’ll see just what a large amount of votes that UKIP stole
And be haunted by the prospect of a future on the dole
Magic
Doesn’t Dave’s victory remind you of Chamberlain’s successful peace negotiations?
It’s the way he tells ‘em!
Not as Daft as They Think.
I shall still be eating as much cake as I can manage
Where’s Patricia Hewitt? She was health secretary from 2005 to 2007 and should be charged with murder.

Fuck off you nasty little Euro-fascist.
What a nice sincere smile.
When the EU leadership moves to full military dress you may have to lose the beard, Herr Schulz.
Bang a big drum in Deutschland and they get excited and arm themselves. Please don’t be under any elusion they have changed, many believe they where betrayed by Europe. The fourth Reich may be just around the corner.
No. It’s already here
No. It’s already here! It happened while everyone was asleep.
Apparently it is not “Herr” Schulz but “President Schulz”. And he comes complete with his own “media and press team”: see https://twitter.com/MartinSchulz
Looks like he could lose more than just the beard.
Is Herr Robespierre around anywhere?
And it looks like the British people may not be the only ones who do not warm to Herr President:
(check out the responses from Catalonia, Denmark, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany)
Fuck off c unt !!!!
FFS It’s NOT a deal.
It’s only a deal if the EU parliament agrees it.
Vote UKIP.
Vote UKIP
Looking at the Eastleigh polls i can see why you graciously turned down the chance to stand there, 9% wasnt it ?UKIP Ha Ha Ha.
What poll says that? Do get a life outside of the socialist envelope.
The socialist envelope is full of bubble wrap.
Nigel. Fa Rage. Against the. Machine is spot on .
The overall. Budget is reduced but — guess what — Blighty pays….er….MORE.
Cameron has been well shafted by the EUSSR oligarchs and he dosen’t even realise it poor wanker.
No problem. All he has to do is not pay up in full.
… or better still not pay at all. What would they do about that then?
Assuming the people of Eastleigh understand how numbers work, how could this affect the upcoming by-election there ?
ie. Could this push UKIP ahead of Labour ?
There is more at stake than the standing of those two parties.
Can’t wait [not really] to see how the politicised anti-public dead tree press – spin all this 5hit up tommorrow….
Does the left hand / wing know what the right hand / wing is doing – but do they actually give a F as long as the public purse is bled dry every day of every year?
What’s the difference between €960 billion and €908 billion? Rompuy summarizing the final total and Cameron summarizing the final total
Caller: “Is that the AA recovery service”
AA: “Yes you dimbwit it is, you called us”
Caller: “Oh yes, my name is Cast Iron Dave, and I have a little problem”
AA: “How can we help ?”
Caller: “It’s my brand new press release on my gleaming new EU Budget negotiation success”
AA: “Oh yes, whats the problem with it sir”
Caller: “Well the Fucking wheels have come off it”
But why call Alkies Anonymous? He should be ringing that other rescue service – the RA…F
Lets stop horsing around and pull out now
AMEN…
Call Me Dave is an utter tit.
Your Royal Highness might I suggest you reincarnate and come back to your Country kick him in the slats!
There is a sordid open secret lurking alongside the dull facade of the European Union. Two hotels in walking distance of the Brussels Parliament provide short-term rooms to rent for sexual encounters. It costs 20-odd quid to hire a room for two hours in Studio Intime in Parnassusstraat – nobody books one to sleep. Outside the canopy is blue with yellow stars mirroring the European Union flag. The establishments are known locally as “fuck hotels” are used largely by EU staff.
Studio Intime is open about its purposes, advertising as “rendezvous rooms in Brussels…totally intimate.” and promises “complete discretion, impeccable rooms with showers”.
When you consider the innumerable perks on offer you might reasonably conclude that tax-payers are the ones getting the real shafting. Children of EU civil servants get free private education, pay tax at special low rates and get preferential mortgage rates from banks. The first car they buy is VAT free. Staff can smoke in their offices and bars, where the booze, like the coffee and the canteen food is subsidised. Half a lager costs a £1 and you can have it for breakfast. The Parliament has a new massage parlour, a state of the arts gym, and two saunas.
The masseuse is Melody Fortuna, a beautician whose promotional picture features her naked bathing in milk she has poured from a stein: http://pokeuroparl.eu/site/estheticienne/melody-fortuna/. Despite the studio being called “POKEuroparl”
The Brussels Parliament is bigger than the biggest Las Vegas hotel. The building’s nine bars are always thriving. Someone I knew once watched a group of eight interpreters (all on a little under 1,000 Euros a day) demolish several bottles of champagne. .
Civil service figures reveal that 80 per cent of the younger staff are female, while 70 per cent of the oldest are male. Affairs are rife. In the EU’s second seat, in Strasbourg, open smoking in the MEPs’ bar is allowed. In Brussels, smokers are supposed to use smoking shelters, which are sited strangely inside and are wide open, so that the smoke drifts out anyway. But MEPs who choose to light up at the tables instead go unpunished.
Overall the EU is a seldom-reported staggering catalogue of waste, privilege, and double standards. More than 1,000 EU officials earn more than David Cameron, who is on £142,000 a year. Civil servants are big earners too. Those in the highest pay grade take home more in a month – £15,482 – than a British nurse earns in a year. Four in every ten are on more than £70K a year – for working a 37 hour week. In Britain, the MPs expenses scandal shocked the nation; but MEPs have it much easier. They don’t need to claim expenses, they all receive a monthly allowance of just over £3,000 – no receipts required. There are 754 MEPs who in addition to their hefty salaries get £237 a day just for turning up. Many sign in and promptly disappear. They have chauffeur-driven limousines laid on for them at a cost of £4.25million a year; all drivers sign a confidentiality clause “guaranteeing absolute discretion.” It’s unclear where they are taking them however because, as debates on YouTube show, the chamber is often virtually empty. The only place you will see it full is in filmed footage inside the recently opened Parliamentarium – a plush visitors’ centre built at a cost of £18million devoted to plugging the EU.
This centre is as bizarre as it is deserted. One wall more than 100 yards long, is covered in historical pictures which inexplicably include long-forgotten pop stars Sigue Sigue Sputnik. Another long wall displays head-shots of MEPs. A third room boats an array of furniture and flat film footage of the sea and various citizens. It’s like a gallery for the lobotomized.
But there is an up-side: visiting school-kids get the chance to role-play at being MEPs.
There’ll be no referendum then. He’ll claim he’s got what the country wanted
Another wide open goal….. for Eddie Millibrain to miss. Can’t wait for next Wednesday to watch the farce.
Can you imagine how horrible it would have been if Twitter had been around at the same time as Himmler?
Well, yes, actually. I’ve just seen Van Rompuy’s tweet.
What is all this bollox about Cameroon’s success at the budget negotiations?
The Beeb as usual trumpeted about an ‘overall reduction’ Point is, UK’s contribution has INCREASED! as many of the usual suspects on this site predicted it would.
Job well done David, true leadership, that really showed em! Can’t see how the Brussels gang manage to keep a straight face.
We’ve already had a referendum on the EU.
It was called World War 2.
And the answer was a firm ‘No’.
Well said.
Note to Mr. Schulz: a lower denominator would mean a higher result.
Special residency permits are being considered by this government to stop the millions of Bulgarians & Romanians from sponging off the British tax payers, when they arrive hear from 2014 onwards.
How many times have we all heard this nonsense from past governments about immigrants arriving here and the government claiming to cut down on the numbers of migrants flooding into our country?
What will happen is, that, the migrants, with legal help from these lawyers, will find a way round any problem. Migrants in their millions will all be entitled to all social security benefits, because Tony Blair (without a mandate from the British people/taxpayers) signed the Accension Treaty, witch allowed all EU citizens to claim all benefits, from any EU country.
With so much housing shortage in this country, where are the government going to put these millions of Bulgarians/Romanians?
The government are going to have to build more new towns, on green belt land. Not just housing, but, new schools, hospitals, roads, transport facilities and of course new supermarkets, who’s profits will be massive.
Its the vested interests that got Blair to sign this retread treaty in the first place, knowing, the more migrants who arrive in this country, the greater the profits are for the rich/powerful multi-nationals and employers who, have been able to create a low wage culture, by keeping this minimum wage down to just £6.75p an hour!!
It is also a loss of national identity. But, then, that is exactly what has really been signed away by these politicians
