John Thomas Retained by the British Government

I have just been retained by the British government to explore ways for the United Kingdom to remain within the European Community.

Needless to say, this means that I will be extending my stay in London for an extra week, save for a brief jump across the Irish Sea for my Dublin Global Strategy Luncheon on Wednesday, June 29.

It seems that I am one of the few people around who remember all of the economic arguments and complex procedures that led up to the UK joining the EC in 1973 (when I then worked for The Economist magazine).

Not many Brits know their own history.

I have received the blessing for this venture of both the US Treasury and the Federal Reserve. They believe I am in a position here to advance American interests as well.

I have some good ideas that I think will work. If I seem cranky in my comments in the coming week, it?s because I?ll be pulling some all nighters cracking together some particularly hard English heads.

This will give me a front row seat to one of the preeminent risk events of our generation. I?ll be summarizing my recommendations in my upcoming Tuesday, July 5 letter.

It should be a barn burner.
