Tony Blair, writing in his personal manifesto when standing for Parliament in Beaconsfield in 1982

2. `We'll negotiate a withdrawal from the EEC which has drained our natural resources and destroyed jobs.'
Tony Blair, pledging his opposition to the EEC when standing for Parliament in Sedgefield in 1983

3. `On the day we remember the legend that St George slayed a dragon to protect England, some would argue that there is another dragon to be slayed: Europe.'
Tony Blair, in patriotic and vote winning mood on St George's Day 1997 in an interview with 'The Sun' newspaper
