actually it was Churchill's jingoism behind that statement that the USE should be built by the English
History will certainly prove that opinion to be correct.

if you mean England at THAT time, namely 40s-50s, then to a large extent yes, a USE created by England would have been a good thing and definitely better than anything that could be created by Nzi Germany or the Soviets at that time

If you mean England of today, then no, the England of today is a mess, trudging along on past glories and unable of managing itself let alone others

I'm not saying the Franco-German union isn't bad, just that if Blairite-postBlairite England was to organize it, it would have been worse
