when edward heath the ex prime minister who got us into the EU
Hold on Pink Lady, I will get around to you in a second.. firstly, Victor is right to a certain extent, we did not join the EU. We joined the Common Market, itself as far removed from the EU, as this thread has got from the demise of Pink Lady’s flying career:p
Secondly, The Common Market turned into the EEC, that in turn turned into the EU. but even my hero Winston Churchill had ideas about forming the Common market not long after the war, for that I cant forgive him;) Even he said once, and I quote;
“We are with Europe, but not of it. We are linked, but not combined. We are interested and associated, but not absorbed. And should European Statesmen address us in the words which were used of old -‘Shall I speak for thee to the King or the Lord of the Host?’ – – we should reply with the words of the Shunamite woman: ”Nay sir, for we dwell among our own people”.
So even he who advocated it knew of it’s possible limitations as early as that.
Now, about ‘Pink Lady’ and back on thread, How true is this statement of ‘grounded for good’ likely to be?, is this a plea to someone wealthy, like a French version of Richard Branson for financial support? I hope that this is the case and not a knee jerk.
