Poland reacts to Ambassador's 'joke?'

Reuters reports here on the e-mail that in humerous terms sets out a deadly serious negotiating tactic for this week's EU budget talks. Was it a joke - I doubt it, had it been it would never have been leaked given the recipients, and Jack Sraw's response seemed just too pat and immediate. IMO this was designed to act as a frightener to Britain's foot dragging EU partners. The proposal for a new fund by-passing the corrupt and inefficient Brussels system can hardly be considered as anything other than plain common sense - which is rarely very funny. Read on to the post below to see exactly what was said.
