Red Lines or Red Herrings - Gisela Stuart.

I can never understand all of this European politics stuff but Labour MP
Gisela Stuart thinks that the famous red lines are just red herrings.
With the Lisbon summit preparing to ratify a treaty (rather than a constitution),
most of the Eurocrats are quite happy.


Well, the biggest red line to be frank, is the UK's absence from the Eurozone.
Something we share with Denmark and Sweden. I think Gordon Brown would like
to take us into the Euro mumbling some guff about securing economic
prosperity etc for future generations etc. We just have to wait and
see.

I think the Eurocrats would quite like to welcome Switzerland and Norway into
the Eurozone as well, although they would have to join the EU first. Spain would
love to get hold of Norwegian fishing stocks.
