The Times said:
Margaret Thatcher said to the Soviets, "The reunification of Germany is not in the interests of Britain and Western Europe. Forget what you have heard or read in Nato communiqués. We don’t want a united Germany.” It would lead to a change in Europe’s postwar borders. “We cannot allow that, because such development would undermine the stability of the whole international situation and could endanger our security.”
Cool.
