Who said this, just after WWII, in 1946?
"What is this sovereign remedy? It is to re-create the European Family, or as much of it as we can, & provide it with a structure under which it can dwell in peace, in safety & in freedom. We must build a kind of United States of Europe."
"What is this sovereign remedy? It is to re-create the European Family, or as much of it as we can, & provide it with a structure under which it can dwell in peace, in safety & in freedom. We must build a kind of United States of Europe."
"The process is simple. All that's needed is the resolve of hundreds of millions of men & women to do right instead of wrong... If we are to form the United States of Europe or whatever name or form it may take, we must begin now."
"Our constant aim must be to build & fortify the strength of the United Nations. Under & within that world concept, we must re-create the European family in a regional structure called, it may be, the United States of Europe. The first step is to form a Council of Europe."
"Great Britain, the British Commonwealth of Nations, mighty America, and I trust Soviet Russia - for then indeed all would be well - must be the friends and sponsors of the new Europe and must champion its right to live and shine."
It was of course, Boris Johnson's hero, Winston Churchill.
