This speech was made during the same session as Alice Weidels' Brexit speech (Thursday, 21st March). Chancellor Merkel had just given a speech regarding the upcoming European Council summit.
0:42 Churchill said this to Gaulle in the build up to D-day in 1944. They were arguing over allied strategy.
Churchill had a complicated relationship with Europe. He was all for a united states of Europe, and is considered a founding father of the EU
(he was awarded the Charlemagne prize and there is a building named after him in Brussels).
However he didn't want Britain to join this hypothetical united states of Europe (because of Britain's empire) and didn't want anything "that woud drive a wedge between us and America".
He also wrote in 1930 that Britain was "with Europe but not of it".
He wanted Britain to join the Coal and Steel Community in the 1950s. There are conflicting quotes regarding his attitude to the later EEC.
0:56 This speech was made a week before the third vote in the House of Commons
2:47 Freedom of establishment is the right of European companies to set themselves up and do business in any EU country.
4:00 There are heckles from the floor at this point saying "That's not true" and"Rubbbish!"
Date of speech: Thursday, 21st March
