Africa - Bush Ups Ante on EU

Bush has upped the ante on EU leaders.

I'll drop farming subsidies if EU does the same, says Bush

PRESIDENT BUSH yesterday challenged EU leaders to scrap massive subsidies paid to their farmers, saying free trade with Africa would eliminate the need for Third World aid.

Mr Bush, on the eve of the G8 summit in Gleneagles, said that Europe paid “tremendous” agricultural subsidies, and that the US was ready to drop its own payouts to American farmers if Europe had the courage to do the same.

Scott Burgess points out the biased reporting of Bush's comments by some newspapers in Britain.

If more and more people knew just how much they were being so mis-led by the Guardian, I wonder how long it would remain in business.
