"My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister has returned from Europe bringing a rebate with honour. I believe it is a rebate for our time."
In other news, M. Chirac, President of the Fifth French Republic, has been accused of making photographic representations of his posterior and presenting them to visiting foreign leaders using a confidence trick to pass them off as deals on European Union budgetary agreements.
