Since its publication in 2003, The Great Deception has taken on the role of the Eurosceptics’ bible, with the third edition helping to fuel the debate during the 2016 EU Referendum.
This fourth edition celebrates the moment when the UK broke away from the European Union, having been extensively re-edited to incorporate newly available archive material and updated to include the tumultuous events of recent years.
The Great Deception, therefore, tells for the first time the inside story of the most audacious political project of modern times, from its intellectual beginnings in the 1920s, when the blueprint for the European Union was first conceived by a British civil servant, right up to the point when the UK resumes its path at as an independent sovereign nation after 47 years of membership of the European project in its various guises.
Drawing on a wealth of new evidence and existing sources, scarcely an episode of the story does not emerge in startling new light, from the real reasons why de Gaulle kept Britain out in the 1960s to the fall of Mrs. Thatcher and the build-up to the referendum campaign which had its roots in the Maastricht Treaty.
The book chillingly shows how Britain’s politicians were consistently outplayed in a game the rules of which they never understood. It ends by evaluating the post referendum negotiations and asking whether this is the end of an episode or just a new beginning.

I think someone had the 3rd edition up earlier. Unless it’s all some Great Deception. So, these Eurosceptics, do they not actually believe that Europe exists, or something? Are they similarly dubious about all continental formations, no matter how actually factual?
October 9th, 2021
Continental drift will make this all meaningless in 50 million years.
October 9th, 2021
There is obviously no such thing as continental drift, since the earth is flat.

Excellent book.

Are you so willfully obtuse that you cannot differentiate between Europe as a geographical delineation and the EU as a centralised bureaucracy that plans to make the sovereignty of nation states obsolete?

Are you so willfully obtuse that you cannot differentiate between Europe as a geographical delineation and the EU as a political institution that aims to end the sovereignty of 27 nation states, against the wishes of their citizens?

Then again, recent history shows that the Brits are not capable of deciding their own path. Brexit was possibly the stupidest thing in the history of very stupid things. I hope they run out of beer.
Britain needed Europe and its partnership to stay even marginally civilized, EU just needed Britain for commerce. So, bye-bye, don’t forget to send a postcard. If your post office is functioning still, that is…

The whole Brexit thing appears like an episode of Blackadder. Boris: I have a cunning plan…
October 10th, 2021
Well, stupid is as stupid does. Good night, poor Britain!

Don’t worry. You’re so right, it was worth repeating that many times!
It’s all going to end in tears (if we’re lucky - there are outcomes where it could be much worse).
Trouble is, I’m going to have to live through it. Seriously thinking of moving to Ireland.

Another episode of Blackadder i.e. Boris had a cunning plan.

I have a rule of thumb that if someone tells you you’ve been lied to and they’re about to tell you the real truth, they’re probably about to tell you the biggest lie you’ve heard yet.

So, this isn’t about the great deception that was used to sell Brexit?
Like a lot of bad things recently, Rupert Murdoch, Putin and the 1% all had a hand in it. Notice they are doing better thn ever, the rest of use are screwed.

Thanks for the upload. We’re out, now, and that’s that. Surely the subtitle should be “The True Story of Great Britain and the European Union”? Obama’s back of the queue comment and Junker’s refusal to renegotiate with Cameron sowed the seeds. Clowns.
October 14th, 2021
@MrMajestyk
Junker did negotiate with Cameron. He just didn’t give him everything he wanted.
By the way, passports could always be any colour you wanted and there was an emergency brake on immigration, so no need to ask for those.
