I forgot to do my: "In conclusion, Carthage must be destroyed!" bit at the end, damn. So here goes: #EndRebates

We could already be spending 7 extra billions a year on helping #Ukraine if #Germany #Austria #Sweden #TheNetherlands and #Denmark didn't blow a 49 billion euro hole in the #EU budget to cosplay Margaret Thatcher.

@bentesorgenfrey "Therefore, in the EU Multiannual Financial Framework #EUMFF negotiations, Denmark will support the proposal to double the #EU budget in order to meet the increasing demands made of it. We also give up the #Thatcher rebate and call on Germany, Austria, The Netherlands and Sweden to give up theirs->49 billion 💶 for Ukraine."

(Respect to 🇩🇰 for getting off the frugal train, here's its chance to lead again, set the power of example as a frugal+atlanticist mugged by reality...)
