Thatcher to head Bruges group

artdoc May=1991
Statewatch no.1 March/April 1991

Ex-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has agreed to become the president of the
anti-EC Bruges group and the No Turning Back group of rightwing Conservatives.

The Bruges group was founded in 1988 in the wake of Thatcher's anti-federalist
speech in Bruges, and has 130 Conservative MPs on its mailing list. Norman
Tebbitt said of her appointment: `At the end of the day she is speaking for the
right of the British people to run their own country in their own way'.
