Britain's new EU foreign policy chief Baroness Ashton came under fire for her links to the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament yesterday. The surprise pick as Brussels' first foreign minister was cross-examined about whether she ever accepted money from the Soviet Union during her days with CND.
Lady Ashton was treasurer of the group during the 1980s when it campaigned to stop U.S. nuclear missiles being deployed in the UK to protect Britain from Russia. She came under fire from Tory MEP Charles Tannock as she spent two hours answering questions from European Parliament members on how she plans to represent the EU on the global stage.
Allegations that CND accepted funds from the communist regime in Moscow have been made by Vladimir Bukovsky, a former Soviet dissident who has said it is 'very likely' that CND received ' unidentified income' from Moscow in the 1980s.
This matter must be CLEARED UP, BEFORE SHE TAKES UP HER POST!

Nigel Farage ( UKIP ) gave Cafe Ashtray a good slagging off about CND in Brussels the other day
Farage reprimanded, carries on anyway, go Nigel !
Wait a minute. The Campaign for NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT accepted funds from a country with more nuclear warheads than any other bar the USA?
Does that seem likely? I wouldn't be too surprised if they were offered money, but I'd be shocked if they had accepted it.

Unless?
Bugger:
Unless, of course, I was being ironic. I'm sure CND would have had no scruples whatsoever in accepting Soviet cash, justifying it to themselves as less money that the Russians could spend on plutonium, or some such bollocks.

I don't do irony or good spelying this early.
See the article on Sarkozy laughing his Hungarian-French circumcised cock off at the thought of laying waste to The City of London and my collection of spelling errors.
Note the commonality of communism.
Banned, Thank fuck for Farage. As I said if I was in England I would be voting UKIP. The EU. One people, one Reich, one Fuhrer!
Edgar, CND would accept the steam of your shite never mind money from the Soviets. The Soviets were piling money in here hoping that we would disarm and they could hold us to ransom. This question has to be answered.
Bugger, what's wrong with your speling? That wee Sarkozy is a little shite and it's because we have to deal with little turds like him that we shouldn't be in the EU.
"allegations", "very likely", "unidentified income"
Unfotunately this case wouldn't make it past the first post in my court. I couldn't possibly accept a guinea to defend the Vladimirs ( dissident )allegations.
Doctor, may I quote a medical metaphor, "there's no smoke without 3rd degree burns". I repectively rest my case.
