Very interesting... if this goes through we are talking the creation of the most powerful Union for years :-)

been checking in periodically to see if any of the tories would unclinch their butt-cheeks long enough to respond.  no takers yet.  Notice that the London Stock Exchange closed a bit higher this afternoon, before this short piece hit the wires:  The FTSE 100-share index closed up 53.9 points, or 1.1 percent, at 4,906.2.  (we'll look at it again tomorrow after this story has circulated a bit)
