EU referendum... lessons from 1975: Michael Cockerell - BBC Newsnight 

And by whom, same dodgy characters today #BREXIT

+Paul Shemmell (Shemmie) HOW MUCH MONEY DOES THE SPEAKER OF THE COMMONS & CORRUPT MP'S STEAL OFF THE TAX PAYER IN FRAUD

+outeu outeu Go back to school.... We choose our MPs to govern our country for US... they made some errors with bills like for duck houses but that has been resolved and in the past. How much money do we gove to the EU? Billions a week. At the moment the MPs we elect to be our voice in the government cant do their jobs because the EU says no. They also give us crap laws we MUST follow... why should we?

+Michael Dance give*

"Thatcher was for a economic union of Europe NOT a political one". Then why did she campaign AGAINST those warning of the dangers of political union? was she really that daft and incompetent?

Well, why did she keep signing treaties that explicitly talked about "ever closer union"?

@@rory7590 At the risking of stating the blinkin' obvious: because she, like Churchill and other Tory leaders, is on record as saying that she wanted "ever closer union". Simple, really.

And yet she campaigned for and voted for political union. Funny, that, eh?

Is that why she continued Heath's policy of selling us out to Brussels?

41 years

I stand corrected!

Dominic Naylor it's on RU-vid

Thatcher wanted economic union of which is nothing like the monstrosity of today...she wanted nothing to do with political union...just hear how she reacted years later

so the fact that britain entered as a sick man of europe and left with a much lower unemployment rate and in a much better shape overall, mainly because your service market grew exponentially especially in proportion of your less than 0,01 in gdp value fishing market with which you seem all so obsessed about (you hardly even want to consume fish and chips at all) is down to your intelligence and strangely the eu has nothing to do with it, yet all the cuts you have received due to tories are instead fault of the eu along with opening your borders to your ex colonies so that you moan about so many different ppl, yeah, sure, very clever, good luck with your never ending negotiations and with your useless canzuk, and since the negotiations have just started given you start from scratch, me as a european, i'd play as much a hard bargain with you as possible though i happen to have some measured trust in the eu leaders defending the block overall, all the best my friend and you'd better grow up or else the reality will hit you hard in life

How's that going

Lol how is that going.....

Farage was more sensible than Boris

if the vote was to take place now it would be a huge majority to step in as a United Europe is the only way to stand up to Putin

@@Conorspillane brexit is not always a Russia thing

100% correct

HEAR HEAR!

Agreed. Fuck the EU.

We voted leave. Yet we aren't leaving.

AESCULAPTORmark3 it is shocking, boris will take us out in 31st October

Shourn Harber He took you out on January 2020.

There’s also right meaning true. We all share certain views however (wrongly) they are labeled

Wow! Was thatcher a nutter?

Thorpe! What an actor! This at Oxford too! Sadly today it’s practically all over-for all parties.

How did woy or thatcher, “Thorpe” or Heath ever get elected?

Spot on.

Michael Heseltine says that Thatcher would have been a reluctant remainer.

Very good point.

Because Publix meetings are problematic because the population now affects negotiating power

@@JZTechEngineering aren't the politicians there to represent the public ? then what is the harm in the public knowing what they are doing ? the only reason for back room meetings is if you plan on going against public opinion .

Glad half of the yes voters have regretting for believing the lies

+tom conti - Yes

RogerGT stupid.

RogerGT and a moron.

It was Harold Wilson that started abolishing the school milk in 1968, they never got very far with the policy because they lost the 1970 election.

Only country with economics sense left in the union.
