Category Image Thatcher on the European Union



My latest rant I will leave as a simple quote with no further comment beyond this paragraph. Being English, Margaret Thatcher is not very well known to me but everything I've ever heard her say about most issues has been dead on. This latest quote is brilliant and expresses better than I could my complete sentiment regarding the European Union. She correctly assigns this pending disaster to the long standing aims of various pseudo-intellectual fads that have been popular in Europe since the late 19th century, most notably the Comintern. This quote, I am told, comes from her book "Statecraft," which I intend to read soon.

 " . . . Europe is the result of plans. It is, in fact, a classic Utopian project, a monument to the vanity of intellectuals, a program whose inevitable destiny is failure: Only the scale of the final damage is in doubt." Margaret Thatcher

That's all.
