Ukip can't claim Churchill as a little Englander
Ukip's attempt to enlist Churchill in their vain quest to get the UK out of Europe would be funny - if it wasn't so ridiculous. Here's a quotation from a famous speech he made in Zurich in 1946:
“I wish to speak to you today about the tragedy of Europe. (...) Yet all the while there is a remedy which, if it were generally and spontaneously adopted by the great majority of people in many lands, would as if by a miracle transform the whole scene, and would in a few years make all Europe, or the greater part of it, as free and as happy as Switzerland is today. What is this sovereign remedy? It is to recreate the European Family, or as much of it as we can, and to provide it with a structure under which it can dwell in peace, in safety and in freedom. We must build a kind of United States of Europe. (...) The first step in the recreation of the European Family must be a partnership between France and Germany."
