EU President has the charisma of a damp rag

[Louis VI the Fat]

The Brits are taking over!

In stark contrast to Van Rompuy's understated and professional performance, Baroness Ashton's performance thus far has been weak. That's what you get for an inexperienced personal trustee of Brown as foreign minister.

The one thing she has accomplished, is to appoint Britons and personal trustees to all key foreign positions.

As usual, behind the nagging and complaints, Britain knows just how to use the EU for its own gain.

Germany is planning to stop what it sees as a British campaign to dominate European foreign policy-making under Lady Catherine Ashton, the Guardian can disclose.


Amid growing criticism across the EU of the performance of Baroness Ashton of Upholland, the EU’s new high representative for foreign and security policy, Berlin and Paris are alarmed at the prominence of British officials in the new EU diplomatic service being formed under Ashton.
