Thatcher was against excessive powers in Europe.Thatcher was keen on a united Europe,
Took you a while to justify your comment. Well done though, good trawling. It's amazing what you can dredge up given enough time
It still took you nearly two hours to find it boyo.Hardly, you didnt explain what you werent understanding.......
But despite all her battles over Europe, Mrs Thatcher did also sign the Single European Act, which created the single European market - one of the biggest acts of European integration.
In her 1993 book, The Downing Street Years, she defended the decision, saying: "Advantages will indeed flow from that achievement well into the future."
I'd call that mission accomplished rather than mission creep. Good ole Maggie.
Not really, not once she signed the deal (S.E. Act). Read your own article boyo. Mission accomplished right there, right then.Its no secret that Thatcher wanted a single market for the benefit of trade, she did not want the Euro, loss of sovereignty, expansion of the EU.........IE anti mission creep
