Nathan Gill of UKIP on
Sunday Supplement repeated the old canard that in the last EU referendum "you was voting on whether or not to be part of a trading bloc". As I have previously blogged, Edward Heath among others made clear the political dimension. Now, thanks to Bill Newton-Dunn's blog (temporarily unavailable for some reason) I find that even Mrs Thatcher recognised the need for the common market to enforce rules from the centre and that the EEC was more than just a free trade area.
Nor is our entry fee £55m per day - it is
more like £36m, about £20m of which we get back in one form or another.
I was impressed by Alec Dauncey's quiet authority on ITV's
Sharp End (as previously on
Sunday Supplement) which reinforced my commitment to a LibDem vote today.
