same. he had his flaws in politics but he was one of the decent tories.

@@Steve-fk1jg Fair enough and I'm old enough to remember the 80's strikes. However it's worth remembering that it was Heseltine that was often at odds with Thatcher and it was largely Heseltine who was instrumental in her downfall. Although Heseltine was very much behind Thatcher on taking on the miners I disagree that he didn't care about ordinary people, look at how he dealt with Liverpool in the early 80's, it doesn't substantiate such a claim. Because a person behaved/acted in a certain way on one issue in the past doesn't mean that is their personality in totality. Especially when it comes to politics. On the EU in this interview I think he's right. As they say, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.....

​@Grey Chip Dear fascist Brexiters, could you once and for all decide whether Eu is a EUSSR or is it the Fourth Reich. You are so delirious that you can't even decide among yourselves.

What a Right-Wing Mess...

No he isn't. When anyone who isn't Conservative thinks he is right like Tony Blair that's when the system went wrong

For one Heseltine there is someone with an opposing view.

Honest! He's a politician for Christ's sake.

Really heard of the Helicopter thing in 1986?

Common sense! More like nonsense.

How do you know that. Perhaps I'm living in an enclave mercifully devoid of snowflakes, but most of the young people I know voted 'Leave'.

Striktly SensÌ If we had another referendum we would have a land slide out And if we didn’t I want best out of three no no best out of five

Yet who will continue to vote Tory? The Younger Generation until the younger generation do something about the system we will see this. You do realise in 1993 when we joined the EU I was only 14? A I didn't vote to join it and B I couldn't it hasn't helped me one bit. The EU is a pointless excuse for peace. When Germany dictates it despite being the reason for it existing France and Germany's United power will not mean there won't be another war. Russia is the problem but everyone will unite against it so it cannot KO it's ally is Syria also friendless.

And the younger generation when older will change things themselves when they have responsibility

A country needs peace to achieve these goals. The wars are destructive, but if one is not vigilant, forces bent towards wars will take you there, as they are organised.

the Brexiteers wanted to but the party chose May .

And Gove stabbed Boris for himself

Liam Fox yes? He says anything people wanna hear especially to his loverd

@Bananakarma You have it the opposite way. When we joined the EEC we were known as the sick man of Europe. However we shall soon see who is right and I bet when the inevitable happens Brexiteers will be claiming that its all the fault of the remainers. Just as how all the Brexit leaders didn't want to take charge of this mess and ran away and are now claiming its May's fault who is really a remainer.

Oh for goodness sake, what are you talking about? Britain in the EU has been in pole position for decades to have its economic cake and eat it (own currency so not tied to the European Central Bank's interest rates; a bridge between the USA and the EU etc etc). Germany already exports 5 x as much as the UK to China and the Netherlands is one of the world's top exporters per capita. Both EU countries. It is Britain's own internal barriers to a more productive and export-led economy that need to be dismantled and these have nothing to do with leaving the EU: the low British productivity and poor education and training system are very much home-grown problems which have increased since the 1990s. Add to this the country's addiction to massive debt. Britain was, under Thatcher in the 1980s - when we were in the EEC (the forerunner to the EU) - the fastest growing and most productive economy in Europe with a healthy balance of trade, a real entrepreneurial attitude and Heseltine worked closely with Thatcher to regenerate areas like East London which became the Canary Wharf financial centre. It is successive governments since then which have let Britain down. And they have never explained properly the benefits of being part of the EU with its Internal Market (largely Thatcher's brainchild) and trade deals with 40 other third countries which Britain will lose immediately on leaving the EU on 29th March.

ASK YOURSELF WHY HE WAS NEVER VOTED FOR.

the extortionate house prices extreme poverty poor education and decimated NHS was down to him and his thatcherite trickle down theories

Umm because he's so pro-EU he would have had us join the euro at any cost, that's why.

Troll go away

He's not wise and he's now retired.

He was not the right person but he would've been had he advocated a referendum Major didn't the stupid idiot

i hope the scum had died over a decade ago with some truly noxiously malignant brain disease

So the British people are to give up all their rights and hand power over to globalists to supposedly fight from the inside. This is nonsense. When will people wake up to the fact that you can’t negotiate anything within the EU and look at Macron. He is spitting in the faces of the French yellow jackets while hiding behind his EU flag and anthem and soon to be EU army where he could send in non French national paramilitaries. Would it be impossible to reform the EU? Maybe not impossible but very very unlikely because the whole system would have to be changed.

@@ryanstark2350: 1Q) "So the British people are to give up all their rights and hand power over to globalists to supposedly fight from the inside. This is nonsense. When will people wake up to the fact that you can’t negotiate anything within the EU" 1A) Sir, you have to fight for your rights anyway, within or without EU, the only difference is, after Brexit, brits have to do it alone. 2Q) "and look at Macron. He is spitting in the faces of the French yellow jackets while hiding behind his EU flag and anthem and soon to be EU army where he could send in non French national paramilitaries". 2A) I think you got "that yellow jacket" a bit wrong, as i see it, its all about centralizing/Urbanisation, leaving rural areas without jobs, resulting in lovering livingstandard in them rural areas, (which happen everywhere-and I dont like it), and I dont see that as an EU composed problem. About an "EU-army" I think it would be an improvement to NATO, if EU country`s took responcebility, commanding own NATO forces, on EU terrority, especialy with the current situation in the USA. - Our soldiers have had NO PROBLEMS working together with UK forces in Helmand/Afghanistan, except heavy casualties kzfaq.info/get/bejne/otaXocxnm9nXZ5c.html 3Q) "Would it be impossible to reform the EU? Maybe not impossible but very very unlikely because the whole system would have to be changed." 3A) agree, it wont be easy, but the alternative is verse in my view. BTW nice talking to you Ryan - clearly you rise some topics inside EU, that have to be changed, and if enough people fight for it - it will be changed, - - - I´m just sorry about losing most off them Brits/Scots/Welsh members in the EU-Parliament, losing them will made our fight harder. Have a nice day Ryan

@@ryanstark2350 all depends if your " rights" are somehow perceived as more special than the rest, of course. Why make the world a better world? Why standardise rights? Why treat other people with demeanour when you deservedly and distinctly have special rights ? we get it :) , us , " Europeans" .

ana ruiz You will be moving towards a moral relativity if you don’t think that some things are just universally correct like human rights but I’m not even keen on that term. You should have inalienable freedoms. Europe and America as a cultural offshoot has achieved a huge amount in the last few hundred years. If are going to try to argue differently then that’s just stupid. America put men on the moon.

Anders Eriksen If Britain exits Europe completely then we will have our common law rights. Our law system is or was very simple before the EU and it has been whittled away. It’s simply based on not harming others and keeping contracts. Juries decide if you have broken the law, precedents are set for future cases. You are innocent until proven guilty. We have habeas corpus so you can not be arrested or imprisoned without trial. The main point is that it’s not a law system that involves millions of laws written by a bureaucracy which would be a corpus juris system or civil law. If you look at a map of law jurisdictions you will see which countries are which law and you will see that the UK is different from the rest of Europe. When we get millions of laws coming from Europe this is contrary to our common law. Macron is implementing a globalist agenda in line with the UN which the EU is completely signed up to. The Club of Rome’s The First Global Revolution describes how by using climate change, famine, etc they could make mankind the enemy. This is what Macron is doing with his taxation. Everyone should do a search for this Club of Rome document and see the quote talking about this. It sums up a lot of our problems. The EU army is actually part of the Lisbon Treaty. It is a central idea of Europe. They are already moving to put all member state armies under EU control and eventually the EU military will all be the same and ruled by the EU. This is very dangerous especially given that they will use this to suppress dissent in Europe like yellow jacket protests for example. In fact I would say that this is a prime reason they want this integration. Think about how they can send militarised police from one country to another and they will not have the sense of local allegiance to the people they are dealing with. Separate armies have all worked together perfectly in the past.

Westland helicopters?!!

self intrest

Those *elected* politicians who run the affairs of the country. I thought that would be pretty obvious.

of course it will be the EU or the 4th Reich as some idiots call it, or they'll just blame it on Merkel or Macron.

zoreto but the UK is and has always been sovereign. As far as I’m aware those 650 or so elected MPs are the ones who have set the laws in this country and no one else. Also you emphasise elected so I assume you’re in favour of abolishing the House of Lords and the Queen as Head of State? The UK is a member state which means it can veto any law the EU attempts to foist on us so can you name me one law that the UK has been forced to pass by the EU that has made your life demonstrably worse?

They will blame anyone else but themselves

They will blame remainers for losing rather than admit that they were wrong

@v- r-m we can all see your dogwhistles mate

Jason King Dominus then why did you find it so hard to rebut?. The story of history is very clear, nothing holds a candle to the productive activities of a free and independent person. They create the most prosperous societies with the strongest family and community values. The norm is big government and centralised control by people who think they no better how to nanny everyone, by taking away their social obligations and responsibilities, never goes well. Your insults are a clear sign that you’re insecure with your own position, read Carl Jung. Name calling and saying things are silly, aren’t argument, they’re projections.

v- r-m removing the bankers will create a vacuum that more power hungry psychos will fill. The state needs to get out the way, the state squashes competition so you and I could never compete with the banks on a level playing field, to much red tape for us, nothing for them. They all feed off the publics hard earned labour and proved half arsed services that have no incentive to go the extra mile like a company competing for customers would have.

Jason King Dominus This is the most brainwashed idiocy I have read for a while. You are an anti human materialist. A Marxist killer. That is your mental state. Only the individual can think. Only the individual has creative genius. Animals do not have this. This is what marks humans out as vastly intellectually superior but under your belief system humans are no more than animals. Sure we do things collectively but when the individual is disregarded you get get mass murder.

Actually no... all these talk of "free country" and "individual liberty", what you are talking about is marketed ideology, not reality. Rubbish ideology at that. History is clear in one thing, human endeavors largely depends on geography and geology, it guise the flow of population, civilization. You are 'free' if you are fortunate enough to have the space to be free. How a society shapes, what traditions and value took hold has more to do with populations size in relations to land mass and resources. The US marketed itself as the land of the free... but it is also more importantly, a sparsely populated land of vast resources, up even until the present day. It's the relief valve for the old world, which too gave Europe the opportunity to rise and play. That is the first criteria. You are correct that it is the individuals but when you talk of 'states' they too are made on the wills of individuals, many of them, each have their varies agendas. Funny you blame all the ills on the idea of a monolithic entities instead of the individuals who all happily work on their personal agendas within. When the individuals of great progress too work in the arena provided due to the existence of whichever states. Serial killers are individuals of freedom too, I doubt sing their phrase. It is also why people don't simply remember states and nations, but you sometimes remember the individuals within more so than the states if they make enough of a wave, for better or worst. Individual genius & villains do not work in vacuum and the states is a construct they all play in, the 'size' (a rather ill-define description) matters little, it's the balance of powers that determines how free it is. This is the second criteria. Oddly enough, the EU is currently a more diluted and balance power than that of UK government because it's the power play of 27 countries plus all the associated countries. While the UK government is the dysfunction of much less balance. It also have the tendency to be like the media, when things work right... no one cares, they report on bad news because it's not the 'norm' or something you might care. You only ever remember the terrible things and assign wholly the fault of the state. While some wonderful achievement happens, we have the tendency to assign to the bravery or greatness of the individuals (oh the brave soldiers etc etc). Because deep down we all have the tendency to assign our achievement to solely our own and failures to the fault of something else, sometimes it may even be true. But it is not some state, it is always some individual.

Watch again

Lol, he explicitly said he would deal with immigration. He specifically said it was something that must be dealt with. Did you even watch it?

@@wodenravens Not quite. What he said was that he would hold another referendum which, if remain won, would mean no change to immigration. If leave won again, we'd be exactly where we are now. Hardly a plan to deal with immigration is it?

@@wodenravens Treason May said that as well, but guess what, the numbers keep rising.

@@michaelbarrymore5349 He did not say anything about there being no change to immigration. Can you provide a full quote? You are merely assuming that if remain won there would be no change to immigration policy. Considering he laid out his reasons why immigration is damaging to the social fabric in many ways, this is an illogical assumption.

That is silly, Angela. He is talking about taking risks, not gambling. A good entrepreneur takes a calculated risk. That doesn't make him a hypocrite for not taking each and every risk that is possible. For example: Person A: "Let's cross this 1,000-foot gorge using this tatty rope bridge which leads us into the unknown!!" Person B (a risk-taker): "Erm, we could use the rope bridge but we could also just continue the route we are taking through the valley. Plus, on calculation the rope bridge looks dangerous and unstable." Person A: Hypocrite!! You say we should take risks in life!! Person B (a risk-taker): Of course, one should! But that doesn't mean I should agree that every single risk offered to us is worth taking, nor must be taken!! Sit down, Person A, and let's have a cuppa tea and think this through again.

Angela J - When one destroys willingly parts of the economy as they depend on the frictionless trade then this is not a risk it is willful destruction of parts of the economy. Most cars assembled in the UK need 60% parts from the EU27. Many are delivered just in time as to keep them on stock is to costly. Nissan alone needs 2 million parts every day. They can produce about half a day and when then the right parts in the right order do not arrive then the production stops. Leaving the EU will cause a ton of paperwork for imports, it will cost and only 2 more minutes at the border cause 17 miles of lorries parking. The heads of the car industry said that without EU single market and customs union jobs are at risk. This means they will invest in other places and let things run out here. One can question how many if any will be left here.

@@wodenravens you are silly. Taking a risk is a gamble; calculated or otherwise. In fact life is a gamble... quitting a job, getting married, moving house, going your own way, being born! lol Its all a gamble calculated or otherwise since nobody truly knows the future; thought most people would have figured that out by now.

@@Morn2moon But just because someone thinks it is good to take risks doesn't make them a hypocrite for believing that any given risk (Brexit) is not worth taking, and has very dubious benefits anyway. There is nothing at all hypocritical.

there is a difference, taking a calculated risk in business where you have researched and made plans and then there is a risk of stepping into the unknown. Brexit isn't even the latter, it is suicide.

open your eyes

"The UK people can't fire EU decision makers" hope you don't bother with the EU vote tommorow then.
