It was a predicatable speech. Bash the UK for hate crimes against immigrants (even though no evidence has been produced yet that they actually were hate crimes); state categorically that hating other people is not the European way.... except WW2, obviously... and let's not talk about the rise of neo-Nazism in Germany and other countries. It's an exercise to demonstrate that the EU is still viable and to try to calm other countries who know damn well that if they had a referendum, it'd go the same way as the UK referendum.

And incidentally, who the **** voted to Juncker to speak for the whole of Europe? No one.

I have written LONG posts on this B.S. 'Brotherhood of Europe' crapola;from the French's LONG history of attacking legitimate British Imports, from Beef to Lamb to millions of gallons of wine, AND the poor lorry drivers hauling it, to the long entrenched, barely concealed, anti-British feelings of MOST of the EU Member States political leaders.

Your BRILLIANT post says it ALL.
