To be honest (being a selfish git) I'd welcome this One World Government, corporations above all else, give up national sovereignty for EU rule, move production to the lowest cost area stuff - IF, and only if, it meant that the UK could sit at the top of the pile and reap the rewards of empire......
Except I don't think that Brown (or anyone else for that matter) is able/willing to let enough of the rewards to trickle down. In fact I think they will get royally screwed by the rest of the New World Order and we'll all lose.
Lower my taxes Brown and then we'll talk about your NWO.
Edit: And why does this new world order seem to need ID cards, tv cameras and access to all my personal info anyway? Seems like this new world order is a little bit to creepy.
The NWO is actually a desperate dream from those who run the financial system and know full well that they are going to lose their major trick - fiat currency - because of advances in home computing and printing. Basically, every few months, the number of people who can forge banknotes increases, and therefore the number of people who attempt to do so increases.
Although the banks can do ultra fine laser printing and all sorts of other tricks to stay one step ahead, the quality level requires to fool a shopkeeper is much, much lower and that's the only level of printing required.
The alternatives at that point are either to move to hard money that can't be copied at all (gold or suchlike) or to get everyone into an accounting database so that they can remove the banknotes entirely and maintain their game. If they go with gold, then they cannot fractionally reserve or make everyone else pay for things via inflation any longer, and their power dies. If they go with removal of banknotes, there will be enormous opposition from all quarters, and there is little chance of success. However, as getting us into the database will keep the banksters in power, that's what they are trying to do.
In short, it's going to cause some fuss but won't work and is actually a cause for celebration - it's the end of the rule by banker we have had for the last 400 years or so.
