commitments under the European Defence Agency rules British taxpayers are having to stomp up cash to finance France's "mission" to its former colony of Chad. So there you have it:
- France, having withdrawn the few forces it did have helping British troops in Helmand, has just refused to provide little more than minimal assistance to its NATO allies fighting in Afghanistan.
- Britain, its military budgets being squeezed, is paying £5.9million towards the French-inspired EU military mission to Chad.
Nice one, Gordon.
