We were told that when we had a president, we'd see a giant global political figure – the man that would be the political leader for 500 million people. The man that would represent all of us on the world stage. The man whose job was so important that of course you're paid more than President Obama. Well, I'm afraid what we've got was you. And I'm sorry, but after that performance, earlier, that you gave – and I don't want to be rude – but, you know, really, you have the charisma of a damp rag, and the appearance of a low-grade bank clerk. And the question that I want to ask, that we're all going to ask, is: "Who are you?". I'd never heard of you. Nobody in Europe have ever heard of you. I would like to ask you, President, who voted for you, and what mechanism – oh, I know democracy's not popular with you lot – and what mechanism the people of Europe have to remove you? Is this European democracy? Well, I sense, I sense thought that you are competent and capable and dangerous, and I have no doubt in your intention, to be the quiet assassin of European democracy, and of the European nation states. You appear to have a loathing for the very concept of the existence of nation states – perhaps that's because you come from Belgium, which of course is pretty much a non-country. But since you took over, we've seen Greece reduced to nothing more than a protectorate. (it) |
