The Euro Crisis is a Judgment on the Great Lie of 'Europe'

'What we are witnessing here is a judgment on the entire deceitful and self-deceiving way in which the "European project" has been assembled over the past 53 years. One of the most important things to understand about that project is that it has only ever had one real agenda. Everything it has done has been directed to one ultimate goal, full political and economic integration.

The headline labels put on the various stages of that process may have changed over the years, such as building first a "common market", then a "single market", finally a "constitution". But by far the most important project of all was locking the member states into a single currency.'

'Bromley council in south east London used RIPA powers to try to catch people leaving unwanted items outside charity shops. Officials first placed CCTV systems inside the windows of two charity stores for 10 days, then parked a "covert CCTV vehicle" outside one shop for two weeks.

In Workington, Cumbria, officials used the powers to investigate whether a dog was illegally being allowed out without a collar and tag. The animal was monitored and photographed in order to gather evidence.'

IMF: Gordon Brown says he wants to cut poverty

GORDON Brown wants one of the world’s most important economic jobs as head of the International Monetary Fund, according to his closest school friend.

Tom Brown said that his 59-year-old pal believes he has “one big job left in him”.

And IMF insiders are thought to consider the former Prime Minister the ideal candidate to take over when France’s Dominique Strauss-Kahn’s term ends in 2012.

Tom Brown said last night: “Gordon’s record would make him first choice. His motive for taking it, or another job like it, would be his ambition to tackle world poverty and his anger at the plight of many millions of people around the world who live on the knife’s edge of bare existence.”

Gordon Brown reportedly turned down a chance to head the organisation several years ago because he wanted to become PM.

He was re-elected in his constituency of Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath in the election and will continue to serve as a backbench Labour MP.

Internationally, his reputation remains intact and he is admired for the way he tackled the global banking crisis. An IMF source said: “He is very well regarded.”

But new PM David Cameron may try to veto the appointment of the man he accuses of creating Britain’s economic mess.
