- The year is 1990 and Margaret Thatcher is about to stand in Parliament and make one of her most iconic speeches.
The Prime Minister had just returned from an European summit in Rome where commissioner Jacques Delores had proposed further European integration.
Mrs Thatcher responded - 'No, no, no.'
Whilst that line has become iconic, Professor Richard Whitman explains how Thatcher's view on Europe was actually a fascinating journey.

How do you think this speech reflects on Margaret Thatcher's legacy?
Her legacy is known for economic benefits short term but disastrous long term! The Uk is in a dire state because of thatcher
The Speech That Set The Tory Party On A European War Path | Parliament's Greatest Speeches #3 1802pm 27.9.24 i couldn't give a fook, my friend. she rued the day she supported the joining of the common market, made it her priority to support such legislation... it won her her tenure... just watch yes, minister and yes, prime minister... ahahah... i wonder if she often thought she was going crazy what with that particular show allegedly anticipating her next political move... as for th elate 70's... and late 90's - terrible eras. little mr echo doesn't want her doesn't condone her doesn't even enjoy any of this... and this lad's not for turning. a massive groan just went up regards the fact sutcliffe got to phone the DWP call centre just before they closed for the weekend... no one answered, by the way. i aint a conservative - they're a bunch of commies.

@@moonlit_forest2680and Nixon's decision has nothing to do with it? De Gaulle didn't make himself clear enough?
It would have made no difference who was in government. At least Thatcher tried. No one else had any vision at all. Either way, the UK and Europe were on a one way street.
A classic example of Stockholm Syndrome. Look at who controls the money and there is your bogeyman. It wasn't Thatcher.
@@moonlit_forest2680 Disagree. She and John Major were probably the last two long-terms PMs.
The Labour front bench was useless, no change there
She knew what the EU would become……I get that people hated her, but man did she have balls, hard as nails
Your speech is longer than hers 😂
Kinnock was a fool and luckily Thatcher knew what she was talking about.
Kinnock a fool..Starmer a Tool…
You entirely ignore one very important aspect to Thatcher's stance on the EU. That is, it suited the Tories to be half-in and half-out of the European project, benefiting both from the economic opportunities and from the blame game that they played ad nauseam. Anything that wasn't going so well either due to Tory policy or for some other reason could be blamed on Jacques Delors and the lefties in Brussels. It's what the more recent Tories apparently failed to understand.
The last truly BRITISH Prime Minister.
I don't even think that lizard is classed as human
@@popdop0074
Is that your family? 😂
I think that honour goes to Chamberlain. Every single one since May 1940, even Mrs Thatch, sold us out one way or another.
@@Excession-h6eChamberlain? Good god. The man was willing to sell out to hitler
Notice how "un-enriched" the commons was in 1990?
Well, there were women, foreigners with family in the BoE, and working class people there. Not entirely clean.
What's your problem? Britain is multi ethnic, of course Parliament as a result will be multi ethnic.
@@mikeryan7213 In proportion perhaps you could make that argument. Even then it wouldn't be right. We have members of parliament who are on record as antithetical to British values, presumably there are more that don't voice it. I don't want them in a position to be able to speak on my behalf.
@Excession-h6e by your logic then only white people should be in parliament. This is not only ridiculous, but also insulting. The overwhelming majority of parliament members are loyal to Britain and the people they represent. Thank God most people don't share your narrow views.
@@mikeryan7213 Narrow? I have been an expat in a developing nation for 20 years. Let me guess, you are an urbanite who has never been outside of the country for any significant amount of time, getting your hands dirty and putting your own life in danger? You have never helped train doctors and your experience of 'equality' comes from the streets of England and your concomitant vocabulary comes from the pulpits of those sophist politicians who know what's best? You are printed from a mold. Standard and dismissible.
We need a prime minister like her now. Many of her speaches are so relevant today.
Are you referring to Theresa May, Liz Truss or their equivalent on Labor...?!?
Oh yes what a speech, a proper Prime Minister unlike what we’ve got at the moment and have been served for the last several years!!!!
Yes, she was a conviction politician and tried to steer this country in the right direction. She had the foresight to see what the EEC would become.
Yes, great speech but that didn't end well. GB really showed those Europeans didnt it eh.
You mean we got out before the eu started to crumble? Absolutely! 👍
I love the Northern Ireland minister by her side.
I second her 'NO . . NO . . NO'
She was right.... the UK left the EU
I remember when ding dong the witch is dead went to no 1
How childish!! Bitter twisted and jealous!
@@philliplloyd6977And actually it didn't get to Number One as any Google Search will show and despite the shrill shouts of a few drunks, it didn't sell that many copies.
This is far from a great or iconic speech, Thatcher was wrong, she was forced out of power because of it and it led to the demise of Britain as a leading power in Europe and the World. On the other hand Kinnock was right, the Tory Brexit policy that stemmed from this speech has led to Britain being stranded in the "European Second Division, without any influence over the changes we need, the industrial and financial opportunities that we need and without any real sovereignty that we need".
And to top it of, this speech was partly inspired by an article written by a journalist named Boris Johnson which was a pack of lies (no surprise there then); And was meant to unite her party but in reality fatefully divided it. None of her irrational fears were ever proposed by Delores nor did any actually happen and now we are in a whole heap of trouble with Brexit because of it.
Heath lied to us to get us to vote to join the EEC. He knew that our sovereignty would be taken as the unelected in europe took our powers.
Worst PM of history
Grow up. Look what we got now.
Liz truss?
@@madman2028The exact same policies...
I don't like Thatcher but she was better than Truss, Starmer and more.
@@chriswatson3464 Better how? She privatised everything and sold out our country to the US. The only thing I support of her was the falklands, besides that she was engaging in deals with death militias and deregulated every business to allow the media travesty we have today.
Sure Truss was terrible, a wannabe Thatcher. An incompetent Thatcher, I'll give you that. Starmer is a tiny bit better but we all know it's the same bullshit. I don't blame Margaret Thatcher for the state of the country, I blame the economic systems that allowed such exploitative depravity to become normalised. Austrian school economics was inevitable with how strong unions were. But that is probably the worst thing she did, lose everyone their jobs and broke apart unions. Evil. Nothing but pure evil.
