Barry,
Oh dear!!
I find myself in a bit of a quandary I feel that I should disagree with you on principal, but on this occasion I cant.
You are quite right in your summary but I do not think I was being particulary hard on Norman Lamont as he was the man in the driving seat at the time, and if you like, his strings were being pulled by "interesting" John Major.
I fear as long as we have like minded thinkers like yourself??? we will never escape from the liabilities of the EU. Your party what ever you say bare sole responsibility for signing us up to the European debacle.
