] Date Posted: 12:48:59 11/24/04 Wed In reply to: Jim (Canada) 's message, "Britain is doing well because it threw out hard left socialism in the 1980's" on 20:01:08 11/23/04 Tue The idea that London is full of capital because of the EU and that it is dependent upon the EU is simply laughable. The City deals globally and is equipped to deal with whatever currency is required in order to carry out transactions. It is the world's financial centre. Yes it is the "European" financial centre due to it's geographical location, but it has nothing to do with the European Project. London is also the financial centre of South America but this does not give evidence of South American domnance over London. Similarly, it would be technically accurate to say that the ideas in Magna Carta and the Declaration of Arbroath are "European" in origin, while in fact they had little historical relevance on the continent of Europe. They are actually British. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
