Back to original thread .....interesting item I came across ....a speech by Winston Churchill made in 1946 calling for the creation of a United States of Europe .
Winston Churchill's speech to the academic Youth - Churchill's Rede 1946 in Zürich - Europainformationen des EUD Internet Online Teams
This was made after 5 months after his famous speech at Fulton Missouri about "an iron curtain descending across Europe ".
Seems British policy on Europe was set long before the 60s
