Yeah, but no, but yeah, but...

Have been doing some work for the dissertation, and came accross quite a nice quote from that greatest of Britons, Winston Churchill:

"We have our own dream and our own task. We are with Europe, but not of it. We are linked, but not compromised. We are interested and associated, but not absorbed."

(Saturday Evening Post, Feb. 15, 1930.)

Interesting how things have been going on the European stage in the past week. Mr Blair very nicely signed away part of the rebate, without getting any compromise from Mr Chirac over the CAP!! Not a bad week's work that.

Oh, and Merry Christmas!
