[…] states of the Americas. In short, the pariah states. Ms. Becker seems oblivious to the basic facts of life, such as Britain’s membership of NATO and the EEC. The real irony is that this is all being done too late. The Republicans are going to lose the American presidential election. George Bush is slowly […]

There are, as always, interesting snippets. ‘When Britain’s application to join the EEC was finally accepted he was allowed to place some of his personnel on the personal staffs of British commissioners, making George Thomson’s private office in Strasbourg […]

It is clear now that Heath had one overriding aim – British entry into the EEC – and everything else played second fiddle to that. In the first year and a half of his government he appeared to believe that the best […]

At that time Nye Bevan argued that the Common Market or European Economic Community ( EEC) elevated ‘the marketplace to the status now enjoyed by the various European Parliaments’.
