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.
