The UK is not in the Euro and refuses to help bail out poverty stricken members. That is the essence of the matter, for it indicates that she may opt in for the benefits but never for the obligations and this goes back a very long way…To make matters worse, the economic collapses within Europe (not helped by Britain watching from the sidelines) make it difficult to keep the inner politics from turning self destructive...

The EU summit held this March was supposed to steer clear of potentially divisive issues, and even the controversial plan calling for heavier contributions to the European stability mechanism was, at the last moment, erased from the forum's agenda. Divisions nevertheless surfaced at the summit as Great Britain appears to be increasingly at odds with the EU continental majority... Ascribing absolute priority to the partnership with Washington, London at all times had serious reservations about European integration and joined the process in part to make sure that the EU project stays within the framework set by the Anglo-Saxon vision for the world's future...

26 to 27 of March 2012 will witness the second nuclear security summit in the South Korean capital of Seoul. The location of venue of the summit in the geo-strategic important region, which is also embroiled in conflict, has certainly added to the significance of the summit to be attended by about 53 countries including India, Russia, US, China and UK...

The news that the British cabinet upholds the ban on wearing Christian symbols at work appears surreal at first glance, but, upon scrutiny, incidents in which Christian believers face discrimination from their employers over their religious practices mirror a profound global trend... One might ask why the pressure on Christianity in Great Britain started piling under David Cameron...

In America, which invades other countries to give them bills of rights, now interprets “peaceful assembly” to mean a special area, enforced by the police, a long way from where the objects of the assembly are slow as not to embarrass visiting dignitaries. Guantanomo Bay holds scores of inmates that have languished in durance vile for more than a decade uncharged with any offence – this in spite of President Obama’ solemn vow to close the prison down. The right to torture people suspected of certain activities was approved by Bush II and Obama has done little to stop it...

At present a new escalation of tension between Argentina and Great Britain is being intensively discussed in the media. Does it mean that Las Malvinas (the Folkland Islands for Great Britain) may become the theater of war again? In the current situation a new war may become even fiercer – the reserves of the oil and gas fields which were discovered on the shelf of the archipelago are comparable with the reserves of the oil fields in the North Sea...

“Malvinas is not just an Argentine issue, but a worldwide cause”. With the above phrase, in the last Mercosur Summit (the trading block that includes Argentine, Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay) in Montevideo (December 21), Argentine´s President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (before being appointed chairman of this body) geopolitically summarised the South Atlantic conflict with England...

The Imperialist mindset is not confined to just one sector of British society, it exists even within what passes for a left here.... It was the Victorians who were the first to not only rewrite our history and invent 'traditions' but also to reconstruct our landscape to reflect a fake Medieval past, replete with fake Gothic architecture, the most infamous of which is the Houses of Parliament, itself the embodiment of a fake 1000-year history of "democracy"...

The EU is currently confronted with a tough dilemma: it can either focus on restoring the financial health of Greece and its other problem-ridden countries or get drawn into the Middle Eastern geopolitical confrontations, quite possibly at the cost of the viability of Euro.

The British Chancellor of the Exchequer is scheduled to deliver his semi-annual statement on the economy on November 29. The Trades Union Congress (TUC), Britain’s umbrella labor organization representing 58 trade unions with nearly 6.5 million workers, has called for a nation-wide protest the following day... The government rejects the labor movement’s call for a national day of action...
