By no means did I want to say that we, or the EU should cozy up to Russia but if you pull the war card out, the Soviet Unions sacrifice stats will always win that game of Top Trumps.

[QUOTE]List of majority native English speaking countries
The UK government classifies the following overseas countries as majority native English speaking:
Antigua and Barbuda
Australia
The Bahamas
Barbados
Belize
Canada*
Dominica
Grenada
Guyana
Ireland
Jamaica
New Zealand
St Kitts and Nevis
St Lucia
St Vincent and the Grenadines
Trinidad and Tobago
United Kingdom
United States of America
No other country may be considered as being 'majority English speaking' for visa purposes.
None of these countries are particularly relevant for a speech about the EU at a conference on the EU at Florence's European University Institute (EUI).
