Blair's euro hopes dwindle as support fails

[dArKeR]

Prime Minister Tony Blair's self-professed destiny of one day taking Britain into the euro is rapidly looking more like a pipe dream as his own popularity crumbles and the euro zone's economic problems escalate, experts say.

It was only three months ago that Chancellor Gordon Brown said his five economic tests for whether Britain should join the euro had not been passed but held out the possibility of revisiting the tests next year.

At the time, Blair promised a "change of gear" in his government's approach to the euro. Brown said that would turn around public hostility to the project, and win over the "ambivalent, apathetic or antagonistic."

But if there has been a change in gear, it seems to have been into reverse. The government has been too busy, struggling with the fallout of weapons expert David Kelly's suicide, to pay heed to the euro.

3. Why is this man not in jail?

Or at least in gaol?

He should be busy telling his family, though a plexiglass window, that he loves them and hopes he can come home soon.
