Global Vision

In this most interesting week in EU political development a new discussion group has been formed in the UK with the website named Global Vision, linked from here. This blog will comment fully on this when the results of the French Presidential election and the final wording of the agreed Berlin Declaration are both known. France yesterday issued its new euro coins and postage stamps to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome, a truly historic milestone for the land-bordered nations of the European continent. In light of the crisis now facing two of the EUs principal prestige investment projects, both much in the news this week, namely the unnecessary EU GPS system and Airbus, it would be churlish to comment at length on the future of the entire 'project' except to note that perhaps the greatest error in the scheme's development was admitting Britain whilst simultaneously and sneakily acquiring their fisheries, which for an island nation was an iniquitous act by their own government who lied to their parliamentarians of which facts most citizens are at least generally if only subconsciously made vaguely aware on each sighting of the sea.
