Apparently that great European statesman, the heir to Talleyrand and Bismarck, has assured worried 'Europols' that the mighty EU will inflict great punishment on Britain during the Brexit negotiations, indeed, of such severity that no other country will ever dare to leave again! Bring it on, I say, because I have never believed it possible to negotiate a reasonable agreement with the likes of 'Junck the Drunk' and the Euro-fanatics who surround him, so the quicker that becomes apparent then the quicker we can make for the exit and revert to WTO rules which governs most of our trade with other nations round the globe outside of Europe. Given that the Europeans sell very much more to us than we sell to them we'll soon see who is hurting the most!
If you were ever in any doubt that the EU is run by purblind fanatics and drunks then now you know!
It looks like PM May is having to hold on to that old buzzard to keep him from falling over.

This was a pre-breakfast meeting and he hadn't inhaled any brandy.

Inflict damage, eh? That's nothing compared to the damage when the whole thing implodes. Better to be poor than poor, slaves, and colonised by half of Africa.

Are these threats the rants of zealous EU fundamentalists or a sign that they are running sacred. I suspect both as Brexit for them must be the writing on the wall for their fantasy vision of Franco German hegemony over the rest of Europe. The Franco part was over some time ago and without UK money so will Germany's be soon as they will be left to pay all of the bills.

It's jolly good of her to help him stay upright for the photos. That's British decency for you.

"Running sacred" must be a precursor to falling-down drunk.

Squirrels are cute little buggers. My wife spend hours hand feeding the little stooges in a park next to my berth when I took her on a posting to the US.
The lady[?] looks like the end result of a lower deck pissup.
