Brit cash to fund Chirac

Bazf · 10-08-2004, 13:12

OUTRAGE erupted last night as British taxpayers were asked to put more cash towards a museum glorifying slippery French President Jacques Chirac.
In 2000, UK workers contributed £22,000 to an EU grant of £150,000 for the £2.6million museum.
Now they must stump up tens of thousands more — to go towards a £4.6MILLION extension.
The French government wants a new EU grant to add to its own funding.
The museum houses 4,000 gifts to Chirac — dubbed Le Worm for his Iraq treachery — including a sculpture from Tony Blair and cowboy boots from Bill Clinton.
It has its own motorway exit at Sarran, South West France, but got just 36,000 visitors last year, half its target.

Money that could help Hynburn keep the Arndale Clock?
The French are always available when they need us.

Whats unusual about this Bazf? The English taxpayer forks out millions every day to subsidise the frogs and we have been doing for the last 30 years. Its all done through the common market - we hand it over to Brussels and Brussels hands it ovet to the Frogs, the Greeks and the Dago's..in return, we lose our fish, most likely half the British Museum swiftly followed by Gibralter. Lovely deal, init! A pathetic little statue of that two-faced, back-stabbing creep Chirac is a minor matter more in keeping with the idiotic goings on of HBC.

It said in the artical T outrage, besides from you and me I didnt see anything about Tony or any of the other muppets in downing st complaining about this, probably want their own museum.

Yeah, but I can't see the frogs paying for it, can you?

Your correct about that but a thought if theres another war in Europe the losers have to keep France.

That was revenge for us burning that French Bird, "Joan somebody or other".

DAGO: Is a term for anyone of Spanish or Portugese extract, and mainly refers to their swarthy complexion. Originally Royal Navy Slang.

Currently frowned upon by the vociferous politically correct, as being a provocative name.
