Abstract
The United Kingdom has been on a long road to Brexit. Discontent between the UK and the EU simmered under the surface until Margaret Thatcher’s Bruges Speech in 1988. The force and passion of the speech gave a green light for critics to openly campaign for Brexit. This chapter examines how Thatcher’s interventions between 1990 and 2007 galvanised Eurosceptic views, culminating in the UK’s departure in early 2020.
