The Fall of Margaret Thatcher.

I have just watched TV's The Fall of The Iron Lady and I must admit that I had quite forgotten the extent to which the European Union underpinned and caused Margaret Thatcher's downfall.
The tories were quite happy to accept her leadership, her many successes, her genius, her mistakes, her strategic brilliance, her crassness, her victories, her detachment from some - and even her arrogance - but what they could not take was the simple fact that she had the audacity to stand up to the EU.
This could not be tolerated under any circumstances, by a singularly europhile party.
Those who welcomed her 'fall from grace' - were too busy cheering to look at the whys and the wherefores.
But today, so many have forgotten the rank tory europhilia demonstrated by this 'assassination'.
Yet, right up to the present, astonishingly, the tories pretend to be largely eurosceptic and duplicitously make empty claims such as 'so far and no further' whenever the EU is mentioned.
Cameron and his cronies are just the latest gang of tories being dishonest with the electorate.
The LibLabCons are ALL unequivocally, irreversibly and unapologetically pro-EU and consequently the needs of this nation are relatively low on their agenda.

There Is Certainly No Such 'Forgiveness Requirement' For A Court Judge.
