I grew up in this period and although I am now much more informed, I was carried away with it all back then. I became an avid European and ECC stalwart. Being in Europe helped Scotland and gave us Scots a buffer against Westminster Rule, which we hated like any slave hates the yoke that binds them. It truly did balance the equation, especially after the Gerrymandered First Scottish Referendum for Independence. I still look back and say, how the hell did we accept that way of measurement and the full criteria of the referendum. Now however, in balance, I am happy that the type of constraint applied was successful. The SNP of today has a manifesto that’s a shadow of the true independence that we wanted, not taking off one yoke and putting on another much bigger one.
I like the singing at the joining the EU party: "when we join the eec, you will see fantastic changes in our community" Got that right - everything is now f**ked. Unaffordable housing, massive strain on public services, continual social tension etc
A thoroughly researched documentary presented by Peter Hitchens. Having lived through this era, it is staggering to see how much was hidden from the British public. Had this documentary been released prior to the recent referendum, the leave vote would have been unanimous. Thank you Peter Hitchens,
Scream, sigh, pass into depression. I always knew there were too many knots that won't ever be untied, they're all paid for, signed and delivered by traitors to this land. B.....ds
That scene when Heath signs the treaty is like that of the Senate in Star Wars ("Revenge of the Sith", I think)...democracy died to rapturous applause. The UK should leave and NEVER be part of such a project ever again. It has lost us money, time and effort from our domestic issues. Charles deGualle was doing us a favour when he said "Non!" to our membership. The question remains: Why were politicians SO keen for us to join the Common Market? (Did Britain contain forces that were too un-ruly? Did they see it as a way to overcome the divisive influences in Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Spain?)
Holy shit, Pink Floyd Great Gig in the Sky kicks in at 2 minutes at Hitchen' commentary of the lost Britain in the 70's, I couldn't ask for anything more//
The EU is a an administrative and bureaucratic establishment which makes laws to distribute and regulate markets. It is a structure to protect the wealth of the established elite and to regulate everyone else. We are all European idealists, but the EU is very far from the ideal of what Europe should be.
+super-lucky-wabbit Peter Hitchens is a rabid Church of England non-secularist. Not a shadow of his brother. He is right about immigration and the EU whereas the Hitch was unfortunately further down the left wing plug hole despite being non PC and delightfully atheist.
+NoFaithNoPain Not a shadow of his brother? Nonsense. He's much more articulate than his brother; I agree with Christopher about religion, and with Peter on all other things. While Peter's logic for a faith in God is entirely shaky, his judgement on all other matters completely outclasses his late, great brothers.
super-lucky-wabbit Peter Hitchens is more articulate? His faith in religion is of course utter nonsense and shows his logical thinking is biased, but I can't believe you think Peter Hitchens is more articulate.

My favourite part about this documentary is the thought of Mr H helping select the music “1980s - yes, Blondie I believe. And for the Blair arrival, a banger from Fatboy Slim would be tops”
The United Kingdom is debatably us Americans' strongest, closest ally. We share so much history, such a strong foundation for free society. Sticking with the E.U. will mean dependence on a federation I cannot support. Please exit.
Me too. However sadly he lived in America . Peter Hitchens is good though and I think more people are waking up to what being a member of the EU really means . Taken us decades to catch on , through slight of hand by so many politicians both left and right! Time to leave Federal Europe we never voted for this. The last vote was to join the common market. Time to recover our sovereignty.
Congradulations to my Brothers and Sisters across the pond, you now have your country back and are under self rule again. Happy independence day from your cousins in America.
Today? No not at all. I believe an updated fully unabridged version is long overdue as we hurtle towards a labour government that will surely wish to bind us to the EU again.
Good news Lads! Britain has voted to leave the EU! This country is now well on its way regain its Independence and Democracy! Lets just hope the Anti-Democratic forces from Outside and Within don't try to undermine it!

Too many people mouthing off about the Brexit subject without any meaningful background research. Along with Hitch, Mr.Farages interviews & podcasts tell it like it is, also the Moneyweek channel on You Tube has some very interesting interviews with a variety of educated Eurosceptics.
Isn't it strange that Enoch Powell - a straight man, with the highest morals, was always painted as a racist and xenophobe....whereas, Heath, the fat old paedophile, was praised by all those who were for the EU.......all those who had the same perverted tendencies.....all sick old pervs.......they must have known about the fat old "grocer" and his liking for young boys......but nobody said anything.......pathetic, scared and immoral sub-humans.
