More trouble is brewing for the EU however. Czech Republic 'planning to delay signing Lisbon treaty'

"EU leaders are said to be furious that the Czech Republic is planning to delay signing the Lisbon treaty for up to six months even if the Irish vote "yes" in their referendum next month.

UK - Queen may be scrapped from UK passports

It's not just the Queen, it's the entire UK being wiped out.

"The first page of the British passport has historically featured the royal coat of arms with a message from the Queen beginning: "Her Britannic Majesty's Secretary of State".

The words go on to outline that the citizen has a right to travel freely and has the right to protection and assistance.
