Great Britain:
CHUNNEL TO REMAIN OPEN
Posted: December, 2006

British Prime Minister Tony Blair said in a statement released today, that despite the increased risk of infection, the Channel Tunnel linking Britain to France will remain open.

"People of the world have come to rely on this symbol of Britain's unity with Europe. This gateway to our sceptred Isle. We will not cave in to fear, nor will we capitulate under pressure."

This triggered a huge backlash from the Opposition party, and significantly Blair's own party backbenchers.

This unpopular decision will weaken further Prime Minister Blair's already fragile position with his electorate.

French Defense Ministry officials had no immediate reaction to the report.
