Title: We are at war again .....with Iceland
Post by: Miss Demeanour on January 06, 2010, 08:28:16 AM

Gordon Brown last night declared diplomatic war on Iceland if it goes back on a pledge to pay the ?2.3bn it owes Britain following the banking crisis.


Oooooohh they must be shaking in their snow domes  noooo:

A diplomatic war over ?2.3 bn that it owes - a drop in the ocean compared to what our own banks have done to us - but lets give them more incentives to 'help' them out of their situation.   Banghead.

What is a diplomatic war anyway - do we just send them to Coventry until they give us our ball back and say sorry  shrugs:

Sources said it could threaten the country's aspirations to join the European Union if the money does not find its way into Treasury coffers.    happy001 happy001 happy001
