If Britain were to withdraw, we might imagine that we could regain complete national sovereignty. But if would, in fact, be a complete illusion. Our lives would be inceasingly influenced by the EEC, yet we would have no say in decisions which affected us.

The traitor Margaret Thatcher in 1975

 

She was talking about economic union there , rather than what the EEC became ... I suspect had it stayed as an EEC we would still be in it ( or not leaving as it isn’t Friday yet )

You've lost me, the EU is an economic union. Closer integration was always on the cards, it was inevitable and talked about that far back. We didn't join the EEC in the hope that it stayed exactly the same as it was the moment we joined. We'd have joined much earlier if it hadn't been for De Gaul the ungrateful wretch

Walking through the other near closed facility nearby is depressing.

There's an island of people in one room in an otherwise deserted building, looking dejected, wondering if they'll be sharing the same fate as their redundant colleagues?

 

Then I get back to my own base and I can't move in my office for kit that's come spilling out the shed. It'll be off to Spain next week.

Actually I can barely get into the industrial estate at all.

The freight company by the gates specialises in outsize consignments.

They used to get two large pickups, morning and afternoon. Now they're all through the day.

Reckon they're going to have to get a much bigger unit to contain some of the manufufacturing equipment that's off abroad.

 

Were I 10 years older I'd consider getting into freight, but reckon it'll be a short term purple patch and don't think it would see me to retirement?
