The euro, a creation of a multinational conglomerate officially known as the European Union is sweeping through all of its member nations and ousting their once loved independent, and unique monetary systems. However the euro has not been able to bring three nations to their knees and into its iron clad stronghold. In particular, Britain, this isolated nation has refused to suffice its beloved ancient pound, a currency in which even its name hints at its stability as opposed to the new and radical euro. For the other European nations the euro has presented it self as a gift from god, the majority of citizens in the nations who have accepted the euro are pleased that they may now avoid the meticulous ritual of changing currencies every time they wished to visit a fellow neighbor. However the English citizens have seen the euro in the same eyes as its predecessors viewed the Black Death, as it is on the hunt out to kill their beloved pound. This cannonball of controversy has been shot at the isolated island of England from the mother land of Europe, and has stirred the inner workings of the British government as its leaders turmoil over how to approach this controversial issue. .
