Mr Blair! He also said...................... “Above all, the European Economic Community takes away Britain’s freedom to follow the sort of economic policies we need”?
Then in 1983 he said: “We’ll negotiate a withdrawal from the EEC which has drained out natural resources and destroyed jobs”. In 1997 he said: “On the day we remember the legend that St George slayed a dragon to protect England, some would argue that there is another dragon to be slayed: Europe”.
Lo and behold, in 2005 he comes out with: “I am a passionate pro-European. I always have been”.

Fighting the 1982 Beaconsfield by-election, Tony Blair declared in an election leaflet: "Above all, the EEC takes away Britain's freedom to follow the economic polices we need."
During the same contest, in the local South Bucks Observer, he wrote: "I support withdrawal from the EEC (certainly unless the most fundamental changes are effected)."

Not a clue, who DID say in 1982 'Above all, the European Economic Community takes away Britain's freedom to follow the sort of economic policies we need'. Was it Thatcher?
