Thatcher's 1980 Cabinet notes brilliantly illustrate the true treacherous natures of those now controlling this Coalition Government.
The rule under which Cabinet papers are only kept secret for thirty years is about to pay huge dividends to those of us who have spent that entire period fighting for the independence and return of democracy for our nation.
Heseltine's return (predictably lauded by The Guardian) is the long coming repayment by the odious David Cameron for his unwarranted bunk-up the political pole in furtherence of the continued infringements of national wealth and independence to the now thankfully fatally crisis struck EU. Some of the choicer comments from Maggie Thatcher are in the 1980 papers on the then Common Market and are reported here, from which I quote the following:
A note of a conversation with the Foreign Secretary, Lord Carrington, in February 1980 states: “She added that she did not think Departments were being tough enough or imaginative enough in arguing the British case.
“The French had struck at the roots of the Treaty in defending their point of view on sheepmeat. We should be prepared to pursue our interests with similar vigour.
“The sort of ideas we should be considering were the imposition of a levy on the imports of French (and German) cars; the sale of oil to Europe at spot prices or subject to a special tax; the reopening of the offset agreement.
“She repeated that she was less interested in the methods by which redress of the budgetary imbalance was achieved than by the fact that it was achieved.”
On Valentine’s Day 1980, a meeting at which the Foreign Secretary and the Chancellor, Geoffrey Howe, considered “North Sea Oil policy at the Community budget” and “possibly Community oil levy or tax”.
Mrs Thatcher denounced the proposals in a note written on a copy of the meeting’s minutes, stating: “That statement would be disastrous for Britain and I am not prepared to make it.
“The idea that we should have to sacrifice our main assets to receive more of our own money back is one that may appeal to the Foreign Office but it does not to me.
“Wouldn’t it have been courteous to say the least to have come to me first?”
BRITAIN IS BROKEN AND BANKRUPT AS 2011 DAWNS DUE THE TREACHEROUS ACTIVITIES OF THOSE IN GOVERNMENT SINCE MAGGIE THATCHER WAS REMOVED!
What now follows as the new year proceeds is all down to the treasonous actions of recent governments, the individuals responsible should steadily be brought to account. 13th January 2011 in Oldham and Saddleworth should provide a great starting point on such a path!
