The Man With The Most Power In Europe

zacs; //I can’t see a European Army being formed in Junker’s lifetime. Let’s keep things in perspective, eh.//

I hope not, but there's a real monster waiting in the wings in the shape of Martin Martin Selmayr, who in Brussels, they call 'Rasputin'. who has already, undemocratically given the future post by this **** - artist.
Drunk or sober, no one should hold such power to potentially deploy British forces.

In fairness I believe a recent biography of Churchill plays down the drinking.
Anyway, it’s a jolly Christmas thread about alcohol. Let’s enjoy it ;-)

[cassa333]

Yes. Let’s enjoy this as the Christmas alcohol thread without having anything meaningful to say on the subject!

[ichkeria]

Other than pointing out that a few shandies didn’t stop a wartime leader seeing off the Nazis, not sure what else there is to say about this rather crude attack on some bloke in Europe :-)

[Gromit]

Juncker’s sometimes unsteadiness is caused by sciatica attacks which he suffers after a car accident in the 1980s.

I see the panto season is under way! Have you actually watched the video Gromit?

[Gromit]

Yes I have, the much repeated and slo-moed clip is from the NATO conference. The world leaders helping him reported he had a back problem (caused by siatica) not that he was drunk.

// Jean-Claude Juncker is recovering from an attack of sciatica, his chief spokesman said Friday, as questions mounted about the European Commission president's health following a video that showed him unable to walk without assistance at a NATO leaders' event on Wednesday.
Juncker's spokesman, Margaritis Schinas, on Friday publicly thanked Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Portuguese Prime Minister António Costa on Juncker's behalf for assisting him at the dinner.
Rutte, who was one of several leaders to assist Juncker at the dinner, told Dutch media that the president had a back problem. //

Gromit, fair enough if this was an isolated incident, but there is much evidence of him being regularly drunk.

[-Talbot-]

He's an alcoholic and you know he is.

[Khandro]

Gromit, I cant believe a grown man could believe that guff you have copied, the man is clearly and unequivocally, p****d !

[Zacs-Master]

Says the guy who uses Brietbart as a news source. Sheesh.

[ichkeria]

He has my sympathy then: sciatica is dreadful.
Nothing it seems will stop the usual suspects however.

[dannyk13]

Ich, the evidence discounts sciatica.

[ichkeria]

To be frank I am not that bothered if those clips are evidence of sciatica or alcohol.
It’s a crude montage put together for dubious political reasons. The idea Mr Juncker will be pressing nuclear buttons or commanding British or indeed any other troops is ridiculous.

[dannyk13]

Ich, I agree that he won't be pushing any buttons, but he is an alcoholic.

[ichkeria]

(It’s quite hard I notice these days to pin down the source for embedded YouTube videos: even ones that aren’t. )
Not impossible of course: it just requires a little effort.

And you have never put together any posts/threads for dubious political reasons?

[Zacs-Master]

Slight difference between the YouTube audience and AB, tho.

[ichkeria]

Er, quite.
But the answer to the snide irrelevance is still “non” :-)

[ludwig]

Bing pi55ed all the time probably helps alleviate the pain of his sciatica.
