Correct ,back in the 60s-70s when we joined and even earlier before we joined there was no internet or 24hr news to gather information so it was a lot easier for the politicians to limit the information given to us. I would say that if the EU was suggested nowadays with all it's "ever closer political and monetary union" it wouldn't get the time of day from the electorate .
A better question would be "knowing what we know now would the politicians have allowed us the internet " they must really hate us knowing stuff
