So they have decided, the national leaders of 27 EU countries (all the EU states) have chosen a leader. But wait, is this the President of the European Union ? as deemed to be by the Lisbon Treaty, no he (Herman Van Rompuy – WHO ?) is actually The President of the European Council, a slightly watered down job, so that he will be able to rival the likes of REAL presidents in other parts of the World. And did I get a vote on should be my new president. Like Hell I did. Nice job if you can get it at 350k euros ($521k). Of course they do not tell us how much that is in £’s because we are part of the Union ….right ?
So hands up anyone outside the UK (or for that matter the UK as well), who can says who Cathy Ashton is. Well blow me down, she only happens to be in charge of European security. I had never heard of her until a few days ago, but she has already been critisised for not having enough experience. Never mind, she is actually a Baroness, so that makes it all better now. Heaven help us all. Oh, and did I get a vote on her being this new supremo taking over Foreign affairs for the EU ……. don’t be silly.
