Much is being said about Margaret Thatcher and her views on Europe but do you know what her views on Europe were? Here is the speech that the Iron Lady had delivered at my second alma mater – the College of Europe in Bruges. It gives more than idea on what Thatcher thought about Europe.

Her comments in Bruges on Europe, especially those on its basis in Christianity, are interesting.
So what is being said on Thatcher and Europe by the worldwide press is all wrong? One must also consider all her remarks on Europe. Her last remarks as Prime Minister on the single European currency may have been valid, with the benefit of hindsight.

David. It is only people endowed with infinite wisdom like yourself who will look for something to disagree or agree with in this post. I put up a video of the speech. No mention was made of wrong or right – simply an allusion to the fact that this video gave a clear picture of Thatcher’s views on Europe. Sit Ubu, sit.
