Hoist the white flag

Here is an article on Blair and the EU rebate by Anatole Kaletsky. There is so much hysterical coverage over the rebate in the British press that it is quite refreshing to hear somebody make the case for giving away the rebate because it is a distraction from the main issues of Europe.

Refreshing angle, I often like Kaletsky's stuff. Has he posted a follow-up post-deal?

I didn't find any follow-up post deal. Although I imagine that he might consider it a good starting point. Here is a link to the letters responding to the article

Giving the critical reportage of Blairs EU deal I thought it was nice to see Blair hit back at UKIP members telling them 'This is 2005, not 1945' and that we are partners and that 'We are not fighting each other anymore'
