Tick tock, Tory boys – glynismillward189
Reposted from the Sunday Telegraph
When even the Telegraph, which is the de facto house paper of the Conservatives, starts baying for your blood then you know you’re in trouble. The tock is ticking for Cameron and Osborne, writes glynismillward189.
The European Union warned Britain months ago that it was facing a massive increase in its EU membership fee, according to documents seen by The Telegraph.
A furious David Cameron vowed on Friday that he would not pay an “appalling” and unexpected demand for an extra £1.7 billion in British contributions to the EU budget by the December 1 deadline.
However, The Telegraph can disclose that EU officials warned member states in January that new bills were coming, and produced figures showing that Britain was likely to have to pay higher fees this autumn.
The disclosure cast doubt on Mr Cameron’s claims that he had been ambushed out of the blue by the demand for more money on the eve of the Brussels summit on Thursday.
The development will intensify pressure on the Prime Minister and George Osborne, the Chancellor, over why Britain was apparently so unprepared for the extra surcharge.
There’s more – and you can read it on glynismillward189 or in the Torygraph itself, if you’ve got the stomach for it.
The point, however, is this:
David Cameron’s indignation at this sudden imposition from Europe may be nothing but a show; a gesture at sabre-rattling against “this organisation” to appease Tories who are considering changing their vote to UKIP and to suggest a strength that he simply doesn’t have.
He has been caught lying about the UK’s finances – as has his innumerate Chancellor, George Osborne.
Let’s all watch him squirm.

Lmao, let’s see his face when the bills have been paid, he will yet again squirm his way round it, more lies.
I could not believe this when I read it in the Torygraph this morning. It just shows what a lying bast**d he and Osborne are.
There are not words strong enough to describe these corrupt individuals.
Squirm he might, but guess whose pockets the cash is going to have to come from? :/
He deserves to be ousted, along with the rest of the tory cabinet, and it should be done NOW! That way a GE will be called this year and the tories wouldn’t stand a chance.
I only wish, would be all my birthdays come at once, they are beyond belief.
