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". Sunday Times 6.1.91; Guardian 7.1.91.
