Robert Oulds MA, FRSA is a British Conservative Party politician and military historian and Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. He is also the Director of the Bruges Group a think tank based in the United Kingdom. Set up in February 1989, its original aim was to promote the idea of a less centralised European structure than that emerging in Brussels. Its inspiration was Margaret Thatcher's Bruges speech in September 1988, in which she remarked that, "We have not successfully rolled back the frontiers of the state in Britain, only to see them re-imposed at a European level". The Bruges Group's research now includes looking into alternative international relationships for the UK and a complete restructuring of Britain’s relationship with other European countries.
