British Prime Minister David Cameron: The United Kingdom

Cameron Dept: British Prime Minister David Cameron said this week what some other European leaders must be thinking. He threatened to tear up a key freedom of movement pact that the United Kingdom made years ago with the EU. Contingencies might be required, he said, involving emergency powers to severely restrict the ability of Greeks to travel to Britain and to work there, according to Montreal Gazette. Speaking almost as if Greeks carried the plague, Cameron told a parliamentary committee, "I would be prepared to do whatever it takes to keep our country safe, to keep our banking system strong, to keep our economy robust. At the end of the day, as prime minister, that is your first and foremost duty." ATHENS International amity and the cherished right of Europeans to travel and work freely across the European Union is being seriously tested by the slow collapse of almost every Old World economy. Cameron reckoned that draconian measures that would put Greeks on the same footing as most people from the Third World would be required if Greece's grave economic problems lead to a so-called Grexit from the euro and then a "Grexodus" of emigrants from the country.
