    Juncker Bonds?

    'Die is cast' for Jean-Claude Juncker to take the EU's top job as defeat looms for David Cameron - Telegraph

    'Die is cast' for Jean-Claude Juncker to take the EU's top job as defeat looms for David Cameron
    The "die is cast" for Jean-Claude Juncker's appointment as European Commission president after Angela Merkel turns on David Cameron amid British warnings of a looming political "train crash"

    British diplomats have warned that a "battle royal is coming" that could hasten a British referendum on Europe if the former prime minister of Luxembourg is installed in the European Union's top job.
    After talks between Herman Van Rompuy, the German Chancellor and Britain last week, Angela Merkel has decided "to proceed as soon as possible with the appointment" of Jean-Claude Juncker, inflicting a humiliating defeat on David Cameron at a meeting of EU leaders on June 27.
    well that shows what they think about renegotiating!

    Not my favourite chappy either, but this bit is worth noting;

    Mr Juncker was chosen as the spitzenkandidat, or leading candidate, by the European People's Party (EPP), the biggest, centre-right grouping in the EU assembly
    Shortly after taking up leadership of the Conservative Party, David Cameron pulled them out of the EPP. If they'd stayed in the EPP, they'd probably have been able to prevent this.
    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014
