How it applies to the post to which you quoted. Thatcher was keen on a united Europe, so.....


....show where mission creep occurred please.

Iraq 2nd invasion ;) &

Common Market morphed into the EU
 
Thatcher was keen on a united Europe,
Thatcher was against excessive powers in Europe.

In her 2002 book, Statecraft, she suggested the European single currency was an attempt to create a "European super state" and would fail "economically, politically and socially".

She called for a "fundamental re-negotiation" of Britain's links with the EU, stopping short of calling for withdrawal but nevertheless suggesting that the UK should pull out of common agricultural, fisheries, foreign and defence policies.

"Most of the problems the world has faced have come from mainland Europe," she wrote. "And the solutions from outside it.

Took you a while to justify your comment. Well done though, good trawling. It's amazing what you can dredge up given enough time. (y)

Not really mission creep though.....

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.

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

Not really, not once she signed the deal (S.E. Act). Read your own article boyo. Mission accomplished right there, right then.:whistle:

I dont think so:

"He seems to view with blithe unconcern the erosion of Britain's sovereignty in Europe," she said, adding that his leadership would put Europe "at the forefront of politics".

And although illness forced Lady Thatcher to step out of the limelight, it did not stop her making her increasingly outspoken views on the EU known.

In her 2002 book, Statecraft, she suggested the European single currency was an attempt to create a "European super state" and would fail "economically, politically and socially".

She called for a "fundamental re-negotiation" of Britain's links with the EU, stopping short of calling for withdrawal but nevertheless suggesting that the UK should pull out of common agricultural, fisheries, foreign and defence policies.

She could have equally said: Im worried about mission creep (y)(y)(y)
