Britain, the United States and Europe are key to forging a new world order: Brown

Hmmm...

So, are all these New World Order people nut-jobs, afterall?

I for one don't want a unified world under the likes of the US, British and European elites.

UK's Brown: Now is the time to build global society
07:03 PM EST
LONDON (Reuters) - The international financial crisis has given world leaders a unique opportunity to create a truly global society, Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown will say in a keynote foreign policy speech on Monday.

In his annual speech at the Lord Mayor's Banquet, Brown -- who has spearheaded calls for the reform of international financial institutions -- will say Britain, the United States and Europe are key to forging a new world order.

"The alliance between Britain and the U.S. -- and more broadly between Europe and the U.S. -- can and must provide leadership, not in order to make the rules ourselves, but to lead the global effort to build a stronger and more just international order," an excerpt from the speech says.

Brown and other leaders meet in Washington next weekend to discuss longer term solutions for dealing with economic issues following a series of coordinated moves on interest rates and to recapitalize banks in the wake of the financial crisis.

"Uniquely in this global age, it is now in our power to come together so that 2008 is remembered not just for the failure of a financial crash that engulfed the world but for the resilience and optimism with which we faced the storm, endured it and prevailed," Brown will say in his speech on Monday evening.

"...And if we learn from our experience of turning unity of purpose into unity of action, we can together seize this moment of change in our world to create a truly global society."

From the horses mouth of BHO the 1st's transition team, on NBC: "given the daunting challenges that we face, it's important that president elect Obama is prepared to really take power and begin to rule day one."

Britain must really be f*cked. The end of empire?

[smitchy2]

I thought that was the leadership that got us into the financial mess.
I would say China and Russia are happy enough to let some of the Western economies burn up.

Not likely. Russia has gotten a huge shock for a start. The Kremlins short sighted focus on natural resources and militarism at the expense of the real economy has brought them to the verge of collapse faster then anyone else. When Western stockmarkets were being rocked and buffetted they still traded, the Moscow stock exchange by comparison remained suspended least it impode entirely.

China has seen 65,000 companies go to the wall since the Wests slow down. Both are keenly aware that they depend greatly on the Wests success.

Both (belatedly Russia) realise that their future prosperity is linked to the success of the Wests economies.

.. When Western stockmarkets were being rocked and buffetted they still traded, the Moscow stock exchange by comparison remained suspended least it impode entirely.

That’s true. But would you mind to provide some info on what is the importance for the Russian economy of their stock market and what is the importance of lets’ say American one for their economy?
For instance what percentage of Russia’s GDP go through their own stock market and how that proportion looks in West?

China has seen 65,000 companies go to the wall since the Wests slow down.

Again absolute numbers… Look, if I’ll say that “3.8 millions Chinese lost they jobs” – would it be same scary for China as for Ireland to say “3.8 millions of Irish lost their jobs”? Your number says nothing without stating how many of such companies are in China at all, what part of total goods they were delivering, how many people they employed etc.

Both are keenly aware that they depend greatly on the Wests success. Both (belatedly Russia) realise that their future prosperity is linked to the success of the Wests economies...

And vise versa.

Brown's going to be gone soon enough. Who cares what he says?
