“You are also mistaken in supposing that I have an anti-German obsession. British policy for four hundred years has been to oppose the strongest power in Europe by weaving together a combination of other countries strong enough to face the bully.

I have no doubt who it is now...It is thus through the centuries we have kept our liberties and maintained our life and power.”
