Max Hastings has today, in the Mail, recanted his belief in our country's membership of the European Union for which recantation he is, no doubt, looking for plaudits - as no doubt he was when he wrote what, basically, was the same article in 2003. There is a common similarity in both articles - he still believes that we should be 'in' 'Europe'.
Perhaps Hastings had a hand in drafting the Conservative's policy on Europe - ie, maintaining that he is against our membership of the European Union, whilst simultaneously being "all for it"? Persevere Max, they'll make an MP of you yet........
Yonks ago, a book appeared - comedic as it was - entitled "1066 and all that", a tongue-in-cheek reworking of the history of England, one in which it was found, at the last minute, that research revealed two dates were not memorable. Hastings, having 're-worked' his previous article, must surely be wishing that the dates of 2003 and 2011 were likewise!
Just saying.............................
H/T: @WhiteWednesday, on Twitter, for researching the 2003 article!
