The millions who voted to leave did not HATE the European Union in 2016. But thanks to Jean-Claude Juncker and the rest of the EU bullies, by God, we do now...
TONY PARSONS Are you having doubts about leaving the EU? It’s as bad as Juncker’s breath

OUR attempted departure from the European Union has been such a shambles, it is easy to forget the EU itself is in a right old state.
Riots in France. Protests in Hungary. Youth unemployment permanently sky-high in Italy, Spain and Greece. And at the helm of this leaky old rust bucket, European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker, a man who has a hard job just staying on his feet.
Juncker has a bad back with symptoms that are always a lot worse after a long liquid dinner
Just when you think voting for Brexit was possibly a mistake, Juncker lurches into view, staggering around like a sozzled despot in some Third World hell hole, grinning foolishly, and high-fiving the nearest world leader before falling flat on his well-fed bottom, as the old oaf did on Monday night at a high-level summit in Vienna.
What a glorious advertisement for the European Union. A spokesman insisted Herr Juncker was “in good health and in full throttle” — a feeble response that was immediately contradicted by the same spokesman then explaining Juncker was in great pain due to his “very heavy” car accident 30 years ago. Ah yes, the great man’s health issues.
President Juncker famously suffers dreadfully from “sciatica” — in his case, a bad back with symptoms that are always a lot worse after a long liquid dinner. This is who lectures us now. This is who wants to teach us the error of our Brexit ways. This is who wags his stern finger in our faces.
“The risks of a disorderly exit of Great Britain from the EU are obvious,” Juncker warns darkly, trying to dissuade us from leaving with no deal. "It will be an absolute catastrophe. The commission is trying, as well as the member states, to prevent this disorderly exit from the union. But it takes two to tango decently.”
Our Prime Minister has held out the hand of friendship and the EU has spat in it
Tango decently? This from a clown who had to be held up by flunkies at a Nato summit. From a goon who insults the British Prime Minister then lies about it. A man who played with a woman’s hair in a meeting — “grotesque” behaviour, said minister Amber Rudd.
We are being bullied by a buffoon.
With his sneering mouth and love of the good life in the Brussels trough, President Juncker embodies all that stinks about European Union. The sneering arrogance. The total lack of self-awareness. The complete absence of anything resembling accountability.
And I ask you, no matter how messy Brexit gets, how the hell could it possibly be a mistake to break free from this rat-faced Euro-bum and everything he represents? The EU is rotten to the core. Whatever the future brings our great nation, it can’t be worse than smelling Jean-Claude Juncker’s breath.
The European Commission president is Brexit’s greatest cheerleader. Just when I feel my faith in leaving wavering, just when I think the toxic divisions and political stalemate make Brexit an impossible dream, I see Jean-Claude Juncker reeling around some summit like a senile sailor on shore leave. Breaking free seems historically inevitable.
President Juncker embodies all that stinks about European Union
From the beginning of this painful divorce process until now, the European Union has shown no interest in a mutually beneficial deal.
Brussels gave David Cameron nothing. Brussels has given Theresa May nothing. The threats to our firms, tourists, expats, fishermen and even pets prove the EU wants to give us a punishment beating.
We voted for Brexit for many reasons. Some wanted us to take back control of our borders. Some dreamed of accountable government with our own laws made in our own land. Some wanted to stop sending billions to unelected, unaccountable old men in Brussels.
Nobody voted for sour relations with our nearest neighbours. Nobody wanted anything but mutual co-operation and respect with the nations of Europe. This country, as represented by our Prime Minister, has held out the hand of friendship and the EU has spat in it.
Juncker is a goon who insults the Prime Minister and then lies about it
All those who want to thwart Brexit at the final hurdle — and who may yet succeed — delude themselves if they think they can act as if the largest vote for anything in our history never happened.
Brexit has been divisive, difficult and painful for our nation.
But all those who would have us call it off and stay inside the EU have one serious, unresolved problem.
The millions who voted to leave did not HATE the European Union in 2016. But thanks to Jean-Claude Juncker and the rest of the EU bullies, by God, we do now.
