Bully boy disgrace

You know, pleased as I was when Spain and Poland stood up for themselves at the EU constitution summit I couldn't help thinking that trouble would head their way as a consequence. France and Germany would not let them get away with it. What I did not expect is that Britain, in the guise of Tony Blair, would be party to the inevitable playground bullying.

Melanie Phillips, in her not so secret Diary, is a witnesses:

Revenge is already being exacted against Poland and Spain for blocking agreement last weekend as Britain joins France and Germany in demanding budget cuts that will, by an amazing coincidence, penalise Poland and Spain.

There are few things more exquisite than watching bully boys getting what's coming to them and, make no mistake, Blair is one of them.

As Robert Louis Stevenson once said:

Everybody, soon or late, sits down to a banquet of consequences.

And when Blair finally gets to sit at his own particular banquet table I will rejoice.
