It's a Euro Countdown! | ||||
Blair Cites Utopia With Less Than 60 Days to Go to the introduction of euro notes and coins. Eurobarometer: EU Public
Opinion |
There's
now less than 60 days to go to the introduction of
euro notes and coins within the eurozone.
EuroPolls takes a look at how Finland and Italy
are planning for the changeover, while Italian
fashion houses, including Gucci, are having to
toughen up their trouser pockets to allow for an
increased amount of change. Italy's tailors are
also having to alter the size of jacket pockets
to accommodate euro notes. These are much larger
than their lira counterparts. With Britain looking over
its shoulder across the English Channel as the
changeover nears, the Government seems more
confident about its prospects of winning a future
referendum on the euro. Yet ministers' hints over
a possible decision by 2003 may not go much
further if Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown keeps applying
his euro brakes. |

September
11th 2001 will be remembered for as long as
history is recorded. The terrorist attacks on the
World Trade Center and the Pentagon shocked
almost the whole world, particularly the United
States. The
British Prime Minister Tony Blair quickly joined
President George W. Bush by supporting a
"War on Terrorism." It was even
declared, "You are either with us or against
us." Blair soon took the opportunity to set
out his Utopian vision of a new world order, which will
certainly not be shared by everyone. That aside
is military action really the answer to solve the
world's problems, or should the West start
listening more to the concerns of the Islamic world? |

IDS : Silence is Golden | ||||

The new Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith has been very unlucky so far. Tony Blair's enthusiasm for a "war on terrorism" obliged Mr. Smith to back the international coalition's action against Afghanistan. Of
course he could have opposed the Government's
stance, but recently he was called "a
wobbler" for even daring to criticise Tony
Blair. No it wasn't because he is against the
bombing of the Taleban forces, but because he
didn't think that the Government was doing enough
to gain the British public's support for the war
campaign. Even so any other Tory criticisms of
Blair and his ministers appear to be silenced by the roars of
war. |

| EMU Comment Forum: Email News | |||||

The
European Movement and Britain in Europe are very
active with their emailing, and so only their
headlines could be shown here. They warned of a
"meltdown" if Britain does not join the
euro, and claimed that the eurosceptic camps were
admitting defeat. Eurosceptics paid their respects to their fallen soldier, the Labour Euro Safeguards campaigner Lord Shore of Stepney, who died before he could accept an invitation from the Danish eurosceptics' leader Jens-Peter Bonde. In a letter, released by email from the Democracy Movement, Mr. Bonde expresses everyone's sadness of his friend's unexpected departure. |
