For
Some, The EU Is Not Ambitious Enough: The
Ultimate Goal Is One World Government
For 70 years, a quixotic organisation called
Federal Union has been campaigning for a
worldwide confederation. There is a whiff of
benign 1930s dottiness about its campaign: of
handbills and sandals, Esperanto and
vegetarianism, decimalisation and naturism.
You can’t help warming to people whose only
real complaint against the EU is that it is
insufficiently ambitious, and that regional
blocs are a potential obstacle to global
administration. Anyway, Federal Union has
taken issue with my contention that we should
not have supported unwise banks with
taxpayers’ money. Iceland, I pointed out,
had been unable to bail out its financiers
and, while paper fortunes there were wiped out
in consequence, nothing in the real economy
has changed very much. Crops are growing,
wheels turn in factories, traffic lights
change, shops open. Indeed, when you look at
the government’s total liabilities, Iceland
is in a far happier situation than the
countries which assumed their banks’ debts.
Which perhaps explains why Reykjavik looks and
feels so counter-intuitively prosperous. -- ============ www.heavensoon.com www.rapturetoheaven.com
