Vainglory
- “The excellent Tim Worstall”- The Register
- “Tim Worstall is a darn good economist”- Don Boudreaux
- “Tim Worstall, you pendant”- Polly Toynbee
- “Twat”: Margot Wallstrom
- ….more sensible than most right wing nutjob bloggers…Bob Piper
- C’est de la très bonne dialectique économique.
- He is the undisputed King of the Internet Pedants and Lord of the Unnecessary Snark.
- Oh man. Watching @worstall execute @richardjmurphy is like watching a very, very clever cat slowly killing at ataxic mouse.
- The exception is Tim Worstall, who is truly the Ron Jeremy of blogging.
- Tim may be wrong about stuff, but ……..that, ultimately, makes up for his beating squirrels to death for a hobby

Is this Barroso guy an important chap?
I can’t remember voting for him.

Nah, that means ‘Stop making me look bad’.
“I appeal to all heads of government to bridge their differences and come to Brussels in a spirit of compromise and European responsibility so that a political agreement can be found,”
*That* means give me what I want…

Responsible would be cutting CAP to zero

Good luck with that one, Serf.
Did you hear the French ambassador to the UK on Today Thursday? The UK is supposed to abandon anything it gets from the EU, while the French keep theirs in the name of ‘solidarity.’
