JEAN Claude Juncker should be forced to walk past every white gravestone in Normandy and the rest of Europe to say a personal thank you to all of the British, American and Commonwealth soldiers that gave their lives, so that Europe could be free.
He should also be reminded that Britain borrowed $120 billion dollars in 1945, to fund this freedom and this took the British taxpayers 61 years to repay it back.
I therefore suggest that EU pay this figure first, along with all the interest we accrued, then we can talk about paying our share of his ‘bar bill’.
