Paralytic.

It does very bad things to your liver and some of the symptoms of liver disease are surprising as well as unpleasant. Stay away from booze, everyone.

You are extremely unfair.
According to the EU spokeperson, Mr Juncker was suffering from sciatica.

And people want us to stay in an organisation where this dick has risen to the heights of European Commission President simply as he is "on message"

Get us out of there quick

It's called "moving the goalposts". It was inevitable from the moment the Leave campaign promised a unicorn deal. Since unicorns don't exist, all the Brexiters can do is to constantly change the definition of Brexit, with 'no deal' being the option by default for the hard Brexiters.

But even if you don´t care about the EU, what we are all aware of, you might have heard perhaps that the era of Juncker will come to an end this year due to new elections

. So there is a reasonable prospect ahead.

Whereas...

Of course, of course...

Who will lead you to former glory? Any sound plans? Perspectives?

Of course no British politician has ever been sloppy drunk.

Have we ever said that???
Churchill liked the odd tipple or six, but could you seriously compare him to Jean-Claude Drunker

**Brecht** · April 19th, 2019, 11:39 AM

Churchill didn't have to get drunk to spit poison.

U.S. President Harry S. Truman to Churchill on Clement Attlee “He seems a modest sort of fellow.“

On Ramsay MacDonald
I remember when I was a child, being taken to the celebrated Barnum’s Circus, which contained an exhibition of freaks and monstrosities, but the exhibit on the programme which I most desired to see was the one described as “The Boneless Wonder”. My parents judged that the spectacle would be too demoralising and revolting for my youthful eye and I have waited fifty years, to see the The Boneless Wonder sitting on the Treasury Bench.“

On Lord Charles Beresford
“He is one of those orators of whom it was well said: Before they get up, they do not know what they are going to say; when they are speaking, they do not know what they are saying; and when they have sat down, they do not know what they have said.“

And being honest about his drinking to Bessie Braddock
“My dear, you are ugly, but tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be ugly.“

Yes he had a sharp side yet still he is one of our greatest leaders, right man, right time, again you cannot say that of Juncker

Now back to the main thrust of the thread

Brexit rules

I know bugger all about Brexit, I just want the lefties in Britain and Europe to get screwed and don't care how it happens

Or that time when he ordered the planning of Operation Unthinkable which said that 100.000 soldiers of the Wehrmacht and SS should invade the Soviet Union right after Nazi Germany's capitulation, accompanied by the Allied troops, of course. What a great leader and witty old chap. I guess this would have been his way of thanking the Soviets for saving the Brits from Hitler.

Unlike the British Empire that was subjugating, exploiting and ruling over other peoples and countries, the EU arose from the ashes of WW2 as a union of sovereign nations. No one ruled or rules Britain from Brussels like it ruled 1/4 of the world. There's nothing to be proud of.
