it isn't just this country. I don't think Europe is any better. Juncker looks like he is habitually drunk and is running the show.
He
is habitually drunk according to Geoffrey Levy's article in the
Daily Mail on 30 June.
QUOTE:
"Where but in the EU could a small-time politician with no particular talents, from a country the size of Surry that thrives on unpaid taxes diverted from its fellow member states, have been given the presidency of a commission which - operating in total secrecy - oversees 28 countries (soon to be 27) of 500 million people? Like some parody of a mafia don, Juncker darkly warned Britain that it would face 'consequences' for leaving.
The first act of a man who likes to play pinball machines and is said to
take his first malt whisky with breakfast, has been to impose a 'presidential ban' on EU officials conducting informal talks with Britain.
But then Juncker, known for his rumpled suits and
alcohol-laced breath, is nothing if not a small-town bully-boy politician, he's used to throwing his weight around in Luxembourg, a state built on tax avoidance for which he was largely responsible as Prime Minister for 18 years - 15 of which he was Finance Minister.
Largely as a result of Juncker's tax avoidance deals, Luxembourg's citizens are by far the wealthiest in Europe..."

And therein lies Nigel Farage's monumental achievement.
He first came to public notice in 1999 when he scraped enough votes to win a seat as an M.E.P. for South-East England in the Euro elections. The political establishment and the media have derided him ever since.
Yet, 17 years later, he stands proud as the one individual who did more than any other person to persuade over 17.4 million people that their best interests lay in recovering their democracy and freedom to run their own affairs and in leaving Jean-Claude Juncker's fundamentally undemocratic, sclerotic, failing organisation.
Blue plaques should be put up at all the places where Farage has ever lived.
After all, Peter Tatchell has one in Southwark, despite his frequent advocacy of children having sexual relations with adults.
