Juan Manuel Barroso - arsehole extraordinaire

Following from AFP, reporting the words of the leading boar in the European Commission pigsty.

I regret that a small number of member states were not prepared to negotiate in a European spirit. Those that think they have won a victory over 'Brussels' have shot themselves in the foot. They should know that they have dealt a blow to people all over Europe and in the developing world. This is not a budget for "Brussels". It is the beneficiaries of EU programmes - citizens, businesses, towns, cities, regions and rural communities - who will feel the impact of this failure to reach agreement.

Just a thought, but maybe all those deserving people would not have to do without EU largesse if the Brussels  apparat did not steal so much of what it already gets.
