He wanted to keep India in the Empire too! And I think you'll find that his version of a united Europe featured a far more dominant role for Britain than the EEC!
Churchill was dead long before we joined.
Yes. But both Labour and the Tories were set to join the EEC, so that was never an election issue, or a means of choice for the electorate on joining. No GE gave the voters a choice, or gave the Government a mandate to join - there was only the...
You are obviously ignorant of the contents of the Labour Party's manifesto in 1970, the election year in which your say a vote for Heath was a mandate to join the EEC. I quote from the Labour Party manifesto:
"We have applied for membership of the European Economic Community and negotiations are...
True; it was still a yes/no vote though, and only a mandate to remain in the Common Market, not all the stuff that's been added on since without our consent. And it was still a dirty campaign. and we, who did not succumb to the tactics and voted 'no' to remaining have had to wait nearly 40 years...
Yes, a precedent is set. We can have another vote in 40 years time. Fair enough.
I voted 'no' back in 1975. It was the dirtiest campaign I can ever remember, with a lot of bullying of people who indicated that they might be thinking of saying no. And of course, there was no information that we...
Fair comment - but conspiracy also suggests deviousness. They haven't come right out and said, no way, we're ignoring the referendum - but at every step of the way they have put up a little objection here, and little hindrance there, a little red herring here, everything they can think of to try...
I voted to leave the EU. I am not thick (I think that's what you were trying to say but couldn't type it correctly). I am not racist. I do not want to send all brown people 'home'. I do not want to remain in the EU, end of. I'm sorry you seem unable to accept that fact without resorting to...
Yes, but it's them we voted against -please do it our way, not your's! We don't care how far up Brussels' rectum you've crawled, crawl back out.
And once we're safely out, we can vote as we wish to decide which bunch of shysters will govern us, just not the EU.
Sadly, I think you're right. All Parliament, and all the senior Civil Servants that are supposed to be advising them on leaving the EU are so pro-EU fanatics that they are hell bent on finding ways to overturn/ignore the will of the people that they will stop at nothing. Shysters the lot of them.
Another f***in' w@nker who wants to try to sneakily do away with the inconvenient referendum result then? There will be plenty of the Westminster Bubble 'know-better-than-the-people sh1tes up for that..................
Some snotty piece of Tory shite that none of us have even heard of yet. TBH (best of a bad lot) would prefer to stick with TM, who at least is trying to deliver Brexit, as per the majority vote in the referendum.
