Just going back to the subject of Winston and the Europe, i believe that Winston saw a united Europe as a quick fix to a big problem. The big threat was the USSR and he had been worrying about this since 1943. A united post war europe would be able to stand up to Russia. He never intended for Britain to turn our backs on our empire like what has happened though! Now that the Soviet Union is no more there really is no need for a united europe.
