I'm quite surprised to see this.<br /><br />The figureheads of the anti Common Market movement were Powell and Benn, who could see to the heart of the problem and explained it. Dangerous people, only treading the borders of sanity, talking about purely theoretical bits of nonsense. It didn't help that their views on other matters were poles apart, although I believe that in private life, they got on very well.<br /><br />The problem with Euroscepticism altogether has that it has been talking about what's been largely seen, or easily presented, as theoretical bits of nonsense.cosmicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-77776617086385405472011-12-10T12:52:29.669-08:002011-12-10T12:52:29.669-08:00R: Indeed, an excellent find by Sue!R: Indeed, an excellent find by Sue!WitteringsfromWitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16026875251366365154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-25404473246287878442011-12-10T11:00:23.295-08:002011-12-10T11:00:23.295-08:00Excellent find!Excellent find!Raedwaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11699610899843349594noreply@blogger.com
