That Bruges Speech

The Telegraph has reprinted Margaret Thatcher’s Bruges speech in all its glory. Here.

Reading through it you can see the hope that was there, that we could indeed turn the EU the way we wanted it.

20 years later of course we’ve found out the hard way that we can’t. It’s not reformable from within, which is of course why we’re members of the political party we are members of.

If we can’t reform it we’d better leave, hadn’t we?
