  EU bosses accuse Britain of taking Europe 'hostage' over BREXIT
  
  This about says it all - from two megalomaniacs who would put their own personal standings and cravings for power over and above the people they are suppose to represent and criticises David Cameron for allowing the British people to have a democratic say in their future.

  The only claim to fame for this chap Juncker is being Prime Minister of a country with a population of less than two London Boroughs and there are 32 of them, yet he lords it over 28 countries!!
  
  The people of Europe are sick of being told what to do by faceless bureaucrats and would like the chance to leave although there are many also who are frightened of the consequences of leaving. Even countries that are nett recipients of dosh are not happy about losing their sovereignty.

  I find the most depressing, perhaps frightening, passage in the interview is Martin Schulz saying: "There are forces in Europe that want to generally give national policy priority over a common European approach. We have to prevent this."
