The Bruges speech, 20 September 1988
It is very interesting to listen to Margaret Thatcher's remarkable Bruges speech. Maggie was so often thought of as anti-EU. But was she really?
It is true that she was an anti-federalist. But she was certainly NOT anti co-operation in Europe. We hear this in this very polished speech. She worked so hard to free up trade in the European Union, working so hard for the creation of the Single Market.
One can but wonder what she would have thought about the idiocy of Brexit and especially of Britain's withdrawal from the Single Market, the greatest single market in the world.
The current Conservative administration has destroyed Maggie's hard work and legacy. They should be ashamed of themselves! I realise that Margaret Thatcher wasn't everyone's cup of tea; however, it cannot be denied that she was hard-working, committed, sincere in her beliefs, and delivered her speeches with polish and class. That is far more than can be said of Conservative politicians today. – © Mark
