Interesting bit of politics this. So LHR opens up and the entire EU gets the benefit of open skies to the US. Hhhmm that sounds like a good deal for the UK. I thought when you had the EU presidency and a "friendly" Trade Commissioner that you were meant to do the screwing over and not the other way around. With this stunning piece of diplomacy I can't see the rebate staying either. Still gives more ammunition for the opt out of EU mob, perhaps that will be Blairs swan song and he is more cunning than a cunning thing?
