"Britain has done all it can to sabotage the development of the European Community. For a while it was Margaret Thatcher, and after that her equally right-wing successor, John Major, who served as mouthpiece for the isolationist camp in Britain. It's clear to any intelligent listener that the people they're really speaking for are not the average people in the street, who would benefit from joining the rest of Europe, but a small number of the English super-rich who don't want to rock the boat. As long as Britain remains independent, they get to pull the strings-and make the profits. These money types are joined by a few nineteenth-century throwbacks who are arrogant enough to think that England has an empire to protect and exploit."
