He favoured a 'United States of Europe' (as did Napoleon Bonaparte).

Churchill also favoured the CQR. In this, I did not follow his belief.

He also, according to a programme on TV last week, favoured a "United States of Europe" which the UK would not be part of. In those days people often referred to Europe and the UK as being two separate entities. In this, I did follow his belief.

Not to be confused of course, with the other Sir Winston Churchill, the 3-masted topsail schooner sail-training ship, built in Yorkshire by Richard Dunston Ltd., which was launched in 1966.
