Stop press from NRMC
The above headline has caused a major EU rift with accusations from the southern states and new joiner Croatia who is leading the protest. As temperatures in Scotland and Scandanavia soar towards an unseasonal 30o the Eastern Mediterranean is shivering in cold and wet conditions. A spokesperson for the Croatian government, which is leading the protests said “we expected to make some sacrifices to join the EU and the cost to our people has been great with the imposition of new taxes as you can no longer fiddle your way into the Euro, but we are not going to permit the rich northern states to take away our weather. Tourists are now expecting settled weather with temperatures in the high 20s not the low teens. Normally we are facing water shortages but this year we have plenty of rain when it should be dry.”
Croatia has mobilised other southern states and has led a protest to Brussels asking for a return of their weather or more financial assistance will be required. Brussels and many visitors to Croatia are hopeful of an early resolution.
Deja Vu 
Chancellor Merkel was on the radio only this evening saying that Germany could not afford another ‘bail out’ and so was supporting Croatia in the latest negotiations.
