Of course the difference between his vision in the 40's and now, is he assumed that the commonwealth countries would still be reliant and heavily joined with the UK, but as the article says many of these have moved away from the UK and formed their own deals in their local regions and hence the world of Churchill is not the world of today. In Churchill's day we still had HK, Singers, India had only just gained independence, we still had close ties to Oz, NZ, Canada, we still had Cyprus, Botswana and a whole host of other countries. Our power in the world has diminished over the years and we have naturally grown closer to the continent but many in the UK still long for those colonial days that are long gone.I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment

Our constant aim must be to build and fortify the strength of the United Nations Organisation.
Under and 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.
If at first all the States of Europe are not willing or able to join the Union, we must nevertheless proceed to assemble and combine those who will and those who can.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
