In the 1970s, when the UK joined what is now the European Union (EU), were Britons properly informed about its ultimate goal of "ever closer union" or were they being deceived?
Claims that the nation was "tricked" into the union are demagogues an populists, in fact UK asked to join UE in 1963 but was faced with De Gaulle veto. They asked again 7 years later, after his resignment.
