On
14 July 1990 Nicholas Ridley was forced to resign as Secretary of State
for Trade and Industry after an interview published in The Spectator. He
had described the proposed Economic and Monetrary Union as "a German racket
designed to take over the whole of Europe" and said that giving up
sovereignty to Europe was as bad as giving it up to
Adolf Hitler. The interview was illustrated with a
cartoon cartoon depicting Ridley adding a Hitler moustache to a poster of
the German Chancellor Helmut Kohl. While Ridley was not one of the most powerful
government members, he was regarded as a Thatcherite loyalist and his departure
was a significant break in their ranks. Margaret Thatcher herself had to resign
four months later. Some commentators point to Ridley's resignation, its manner,
and the European issue at its core, as leading indicators for the next decade of
Conservative Party politics.
