I find your comment offensive .
Margaret said , " I voted not to join in 1975."
Margaret did not vote not to join in 1975 .
We were in no position to vote in such a way because we had already joined on the 1st of January 1973 .
The 1975 referendum asked "Do you think that the United Kingdom should stay in the European Community (the Common Market)?"

Yes, you are right. I have posted a link to the blurb that we all received at the time.
I voted not to join in 1973. I stand corrected.
I certainly did not think you were casting aspersions about my honesty, just that pointing out that I had been unclear in what I said.
The Common Market was sold to the population purely as a trading organisation, but over time it morphed into something more political, something that we were not given a choice on...well, until now that is.
