Reykjavik resists manipulation by the vampire squid: Iceland spurns €30m over fears of EU propaganda.

I didn’t know that saying no was a spruning. Do they really think that nations are anthropomorphic beings that have feelings and “sprun” as though this was just a movie date?

The idea that they didn’t want a dose of Brussels’ Spanish fly being taken as a disappointment says more about the EUvian outlook than the Icelandic government’s actual decline of the money.

It’s this simple: little Iceland’s democratic traditions make the EU look like Zimbabwe.
