If there wasn’t a 20 mile strip of sea between Dover and Calais I suspect that Michael would not have written this book and I would be reviewing it … Michael Hindley is a former Labour politician and MEP over many years and writes from years of experience of our turbulent relationship with Europe.
The Semi-Detached European describes our hokey-cokey relationship with Europe and the EU. Importantly it gives us a lesson in history for those who appear to have forgotten or distorted the truth about our relationship with Europe. From Winston Churchill to Margaret Thatcher, Jacque Delors, Clement Attlee, Theresa May, Charles De Gaulle, David Cameron, Jean Monnet and many others.
We continue to suffer catastrophic losses from our so-called freedoms from the largest market and successful experiment in large scale democracy on the planet. Our continuing ambivalence towards Europe will finish The United Kingdom off economically, socially and politically. Michael helps us to understand our grand mistake. In his words … ” We had to resort to a referendum to put a complicated question, whose solution had escaped the wit and skill of politicians, to a popular vote.

The Semi-Detached European will help you explain the real value of the European project, warts and all, to the few remaining doubters who believe that we should erect more walls to make us feel secure rather than building bridges.
Michael gives talks across Europe about his work. You are welcome to contact him via mhindley1947@gmail.com
