					<description><![CDATA[The concept of citizenship has been turned on its head:

Citizenship is now a tool to be dealt with by financial services regulators. Why?

In the EU there are guidelines for fairness and impartiality but more importantly for the integrity of the instruments offered under financial services, and how the consequences impact the rest of the European market.

It appears to me that this filter is escaping the lens.

This is the area so close to the Prime Minister&#039;s heart, that he was rapporteur on this very issue during his stint as MEP, way back in 2006.

http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?pubRef=-//EP//TEXT+REPORT+A6-2006-0170+0+DOC+XML+V0//EN&#038;language=en

The fact that the whole of the sale of citizenship issue was so markedly left out of the Labour electoral &quot;manifest,&quot; but was analysed so far in advance of its appearance, highlights the same tactics of perception deception blitzing that Hitler used in his rise to power.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There is an important point that needs to be asked.

The prime minister mentioned that he plans to set up a Sovereign Wealth Fund which will receive the proceeds from the sale of European citizenship.

What exactly will the Fund be doing with the money that, according to the government&#039;s plan, it will receive from the IIP, if this scheme is ever launched?

Will the Fund be expected to invest the money in assets, shares, foreign reserves, etc, or will it simply spend them on free housing for Labour votes?

A Sovereign Wealth Fund would administer assets and in five years&#039; time it would have accumulated in it all the funds derived from all the passports sold.  The government would be allowed to draw only the profits from such fund, but not to deplete its capital.]]></description>
