Margaret Thatcher warned about centralized power in Brussels 33 years before Brexit

The United Kingdom left the European Union after 47 years of EU membership. “We have not successfully rolled back the frontiers of the state in Britain, only to see them re-imposed at a European level with a European super-state exercising a new dominance from Brussels.” Then prime Minister Margaret Thatcher issued a stark prophetic warning during a speech at the College of Europe (in Bruges) on September 20, 1988.

Margaret Thatcher upozorila o opasnostima centralizovane vlasti u Briselu 33 godine prije Brexita

Ujedinjeno Kraljevstvo je napustilo Evropsku uniju nakon 47 godina članstva. “Mi nismo uspješno smanjili moć države u Britaniji samo zato da iskusimo da nam se ona ponovo nametne na evropskom nivou, sa evropskom super-državom koja vrši novu dominaciju iz Brisela.” Tada Premijerka Margaret Thatcher iznijela je oštro proročansko upozorenje tokom govora u Evropskom koledžu u gradu Bruges, 9. decembra, 1986.

Veća i bliža saradnja ne zahtijeva da moć bude centralizovana u Briselu niti da se odluke donose od strane odabrane birokratije.

Ken Schoolland – The Rule of Law

The only way that a law is valid is when it is in support of individual rights. A lot of people think that you've got to obey the law. The law is the law. And if you don't like it, you should change it. Law can be really bad law, and you shouldn't have to obey immoral bad law.

Ken Schoolland - Vladavina prava

Jedini način na koji je neki zakon validan je kada je u funkciji zaštite individualnih prava. Mnogi ljudi misle da moramo da poštujemo zakon. Jer zakon je zakon. I ako vam se zakon ne sviđa, onda treba da ga promijenite. Zakon može biti jako loš zakon, i vi ne biste morali da poštujete loš, nemoralan zakon.
