Anger at Prodi's EU army plans << The creation of a single army in which British soldiers fight under an EU flag and take orders from a European commander is the "logical next step", the new head of the European Commission said yesterday. In comments which will embarrass Tony Blair a month before the Euro-elections, Romano Prodi, the new EC President, said the EU must build its own army or risk being "marginalised in the new world history". The comments are particularly awkward for the Prime Minister because Mr Prodi, a former Italian premier, was Mr Blair's choice for the post. Downing Street rejected his remarks, saying the idea of a European army was "not something we favour". Mr Prodi said the single currency meant the EU had already undergone "a real change in the nature of the state" and should now consider a common army. His plan enraged Tory Euro-sceptics who said building such an army would be a major step towards creating a European superstate. >> telegraph.co.uk More and more articles showing up about a European army to replace Nato. ****** Hi Lorne, I can only believe that the UK wants to drive down its currency to be more competitive and this is behind the gold sales.
