Down to work ...

Possible culprits?


Catherine Ashton

She is also the First-Vice-President of the European Commission (since February 2010). [ ... ] She was later appointed Leader of the House of Lords and, in that role, was instrumental in steering the Lisbon Treaty through Britain's Upper House. [ ... ] In December 2009 she became the first person to take on the newly enlarged High Representative role for the EU as created by the Treaty of Lisbon.

She's looking bad .... :roll:



Her appointment as Trade Commissioner was scrutinised by the European Parliament. She was criticised by Daniel Hannan, a British Conservative MEP, on the basis that she had "no background in trade issues at a time when the EU is engaged in critical negotiations with Canada, Korea and the WTO".[24] However, following her public confirmation hearing by the Trade Committee of the European Parliament, Ashton was approved by the Parliament on 22 October 2008 with 538 to 40 votes, and 63 abstentions.[25] She has since finished negotiations on the Free Trade Agreement with Korea and initialled it in October 2009.[26]


Here she is next to Hilary ....

.... Oh, and look what's right behind them!
