But with the UK in it too? Don’t forget that Britain was still part of an Empire then, rather than a Commonwealth.
As Churchill urged a Franco-German partnership to lead his vision of a new Europe, he declared that Great Britain and the British Commonwealth, along with the US and USSR, should be “friends and sponsors” of the project. He did not talk of the UK becoming a member itself. “We are with Europe, but not of it,” he wrote in an earlier essay. “We are linked but not comprised.” That ambiguity has haunted Britain’s relationship with its continental neighbours ever since, culminating in the UK referendum vote on June 23 for Brexit.

What if we don't share "common spiritual values"? Calm down. Remove the UK from the equation, then ask the question again - it is still valid. "A kind of United States of Europe" Not, "An actual European Union Of Soviet Socialist Republics". I am delighted to have had this opportunity to assist you all here.
You lot are hilarious! I love your attempts at justifying your own views on quotes when it suits you, but shooting down others when it doesn't. I'll just keep trolling you as I love your reactions.
Ah, you're no that daft after all, you're just playing or// you feel silly now so pretendeth to have fun
You can keep regurgitating Chuchill quotes all day long. Still doesn't change the basic fact, 46 days to the great escape. The only person you are trolling is yourself.
I don't think you're a cock, Ant. You play at being one and I can respect that, but I know it's just an act.
Sub Prime mortgages and Enron didn't help but our banks would have been much more resilient with proper liquidity ratios in place. As it was they were like tower blocks built on sand. One push and they fell over.
Yes we're only trolling.. Update. Some viewers may find this image offensive. Or one of them to have offended.
So that's how he felt in 1930. My understanding is that his vision of a United States of Europe came much later, after the second world war.
