Raymond Finch: When discussing the chronology of the EU. it is important to see the 1959 Stocholm Agreement as, step number one. It was in 1959 that the European Free Trade Agreement (Area) came into being. This result from 'quick footwork' following the 1956 Suez Crisis, but we were too late for the 1957 Treaty of Rome. The symbolism of the Stockholm Agreement is plain for all to see, and that was the intention.
People like Christina who I am sure is a lovely lady, just do not undersatnd the true situation. On all the available eveidence, currently available, the Tories should win the next election. When they have finished their term, we will be even deeper into Europe than now, and the Tories will be takingg credit for having had Turkey admitted. They are so cynical, they may even arrange the admission date for 2015, as an act of atonement for having attacked them a century earlier. That should really please Boris Johnson, whose paternal muslim grandfather came that area.
Optimism must become a notifiable illness if we are to have chance of survival.
