Regardless of whether you agree with his interpretation of history or not everyone should give him accolades for his ability to give hour long lectures and continue to hold peoples attentions.

Very interesting, but one thing professor Bogdanor gets very wrong around <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7q3B8mr4-c&t=2280">38:00</a> is that he omits the European Council and argues that the Commission is the equivalent of an EU government. It's not. Decisional powers lie very much with the council, which consists of elected heads of government responding to their national parliaments.

Very good but he left where I think where the failure for the UK and Europe to come together lies with the Atlee government would not join the Coal and Steel Community as that meant surrendering the control of newly nationalised industries to a supra power. In the words of Herbert Morrison "the Durham miners wouldn't wear it". Had we joined then, the UK could have given the leadership that the 6 wanted from us and I certain France's agricultural industry would not have got the huge subsidies that it enjoys and has been such a bone of contention.

My grandfather had a DeGaulle mask he wore on Bastille Days till somebody threw a milkshake in his face & yelled "resist!"<br>-----My grandpa happened to have a French loaf with him, & made short work of the little merde.

As unreliable as the French had proved themselves in WW2, why would other nations trust them to fulfill their obligations in any further endeavors? "Oui, oui, mes fous cousins anglais, we will 'ave your backs at all times, no problem. N'est-ce pas?"
