Speak with a spine core specialist about the way of Junckers' walking. He/she will explain it is NOT wine as cause. But probably a too big step for a British EU hater. Barnier ill means less time to negociate. And as Boris said and fixed in UK law: 31 Dec 2020 - 24:00 we leave, quite soon the EU can levy import duty on UK goods into the EU.

So, enjoy your foggy isles Remember that all Brexiteers are not necessarily haters of the EU or their representatives. I understand that Juncker has sciatica, which can cause great pain. However, those with sciatica and experiencing this pain would not be capable of displaying an inane grin, while giving foreign leaders a friendly slap on the cheek on TV. I don't wish anyone this pain but it seems that this medical excuse is literally taking the peace. If M. Barnier has the virus, then I truly wish him a speedy and full recovery. These things should not be wished by anyone...by anyone. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why not to close the borders and end business between UK and EU right now? The sooner, the better. Funny how Brexit is just a tiny issue for Europe right now.
