Thatcher was anti Federalist europe, she saw no problem with ties with Europe she just wanted Europe to be fair in its treatment of all european states not just for the benefit of the French and Germans. An example would be the fight over the CAP(Common Agricultural Policy) and the British Rebate. A rebate that the great benevolent Blair gave away a few short years ago.

In her Bruges speech which funnily enough was used by phoney Tony. Her speech was far less anti-European than it is now regularly portrayed and many of her concerns about the creation of an over arching European superstate have been accepted not only by the Labour party but by other EU states. She spoke about creating a "family of nations, understanding each other better, appreciating each other more, doing more together but relishing our national identity no less than our common European endeavour" - hardly the anti-European rant it is often now claimed to have been. Thats FACT.
