In the spirit of democracy, I have added a new link to my blog, Yes to Europe. Thankfully, they will now have an even greater struggle to convince the British to say "Yes" in the upcoming referendum whilst the French could now be in favour. Why the change in fortune? Mr Chirac has now cleverly linked the French referendum into bashing France's beloved neighbours, the British. By voting "yes", France will seek to review the £3.2 bn British rebate. "We conclude[d] that to be able to incorporate all these demands (on the budget), we need to have a fairer financing of the European budget... which would incontestably demand looking again at the British rebate".
I can guarantee the British rebate will only be reviewed downwards!!

Might I suggest "Vote no or the rebate gets it" as a campaigning slogan?
It does sound a lot snappier. I doubt if Tony will even mention the rebate now!!
Maybe Tony should have a "vote yes and the CAP gets it" campaign. That would shut the French up...
