I agree but see what Jerome says below. There's a new frame on the situation that the UK is putting out through the Eng-lang media, since it had started to be clear Britain had lost contact with the new member states. The new frame is a tendentious if not fraudulent presentation of the facts, aka spin.

Re: Notice the pronouns (none / 1)

It seems to me that it is not a frame put out throught the English media as spin, but the actual UK negotiating position. Apparently that's what Blair himself said in the press conference after he met with the Visegrad group a couple of weeks ago. DoDo and I discussed it in last week's EU (p)review (linked), where I also dug up some amazing remarks by a UK minister at an EP committee meeting.

guaranteed to evoke a violent reaction from police is to challenge their right to "define the situation." --- David Graeber citing Marc Cooper
