Twenty-four hours after seeking a truce with Gordon Brown over European policy, Peter Mandelson waved a red rag at the Treasury bull yesterday when he proposed a fixed date for British entry INTO phpbb_the eurozone as soon as practicably possible.

The new EU commissioner for trade, who last night flew to Geneva for world trade talks, told Le Monde: "I hope that, as soon as conditions permit, the UK will seize the chance to adopt the euro. There is no short-term prospect, but I hope the British government will be able to fix a target date for entry", subject to a yes vote in the promised referendum.

The Brits will never vote yes, he is living in a dream world if he thinks otherwise. Mind, I haven't seen the massive amounts of fear propaganda they will certainly use yet!
