Scoop:Is Britain planning on joining the Euro?

C@W have had a source emailing data for the last few weeks. This source, within the Royal Mint has been privy to some secret high level discussions that have recently taken place.
Although the whole picture has yet to emerge it looks increasingly likely that the United kingdom will abandon Sterling and join the Euro before the end of this parliament.

It is expected that Prime Minister Brown wishes to make the announcement during the G-20 meeting of world leaders to demonstrate his commitment to finding global solutions and his belief that nations must join and work together and forgo protectionism.
This is the price that Germany and France have demanded for endorsing and carrying out the fiscal stimulus package.

We obviously cannot reveal too much detail, but from another, separate source at the Bank of England it appears that the meeting between Mervyn King and Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, was to approve the prototype design of the new Euro currency for the UK. Samples of these coins have been sent to us here. The enormous task of replacing the currency has been proceeding in secret ever since Sterling began falling in October 2008.

We have a final piece of evidence, currently being flown in from Munich by CU and we hope to see it arrive shortly, when we will do an update, before turning some of the evidence over to the BBC and other mainstream media outlets.

Remember.
You read it here first.

The Economist has a 'suggestion' that it may be wise to join the Euro. Is this part of the same story.

Oddly Merv would go to the Queen for bank notes, he has nothing to do with coins. Nice one though

Nice try. Unfortunately, EURO rules mean that now head of state can appear on the currency.

Of course it will be at ruling Exchange Rates at the Time.

So the UK Euro will be worth HALF of the other European Euros --- which is why the Queens head is on them --- to identify the worthless ones.

Referendum maybe??

Don't need a referendum. Part of Lisbon was the ability to join the Euro.

Many a truth is spoken in jest. An April Fool's joke should be patently unbelievable!

CityUnslicker said...

This is the kind of wild speculation that turns out to be true. ;o)

Brown said at PMQ's that he was glad he had swapped Gold for Euro's in the Bank of England vaults......

Queen Elizabeth II said...

We are not amused.
Plus his breath was awful

Dick Puddlecote said...

Brilliant. Best of the day by a long chalk. Linking.

Bill Quango MP said...
