• I recommend Robert Saunders book Yes To Europe, about the 1975 referendum, especially after Heseltine's speech today. It reinforced that a major difference between then and now was the memory of war, that every MP and most of the voters remembered the second world war and that the EU was not just a trading block and that sentimental, inchoate notions of sovereignty were seen for what they were.
