Libération calls the UK 'the EU's enfant terrible'
In the context of reporting on the EU constitution, cough, 'reform' treaty.
The precise text is 'La Pologne, autre enfant terrible de l'UE', but that would have made for an unwieldy headline.
Although it notes Brown's claims that all of his red lines have been held, it also reports 'The text includes the main parts of the provisions of the Constitution, like the new voting mechanism, the creation of a post of a president of the European Council, the granting of powers to the spokesman for European diplomacy and the extension of qualified majority voting'.
So nothing we did not know already. I suppose I should be grateful that there has been no reference to 'Albion perfide'

I wish there was some mechanism for them to kick us out.
