Junckers arse

was Juncker talking out of his arse again last week, when he said french is now the international language of choice in Europe.

A few things make me question his thought process, when ever I travel I notice youngsters from many different parts of the world using English as the common denominator.

2 friends of mine 1 Norwegian and 1 Swede both say that they use English when ever talking business, as it is the simplest language for both of them to converse in and negotiate in.

And when i googled the most common language for international business French couldn't even make it in to the top 8.

Or is he simply pissed off that party will soon be over, and is trying to intimate the populace of the UK with his comments.

I think he was having a bit of banter.

Before 1973 French was the language of the EU after we joined it sort of lost ground to English, now we've fucked off it may while transit back somewhat

We spoke French for many years from 1066!

It's now 2017 though, and English is very much more important throughout the world.

Exactly, it was just a very small dig at Brexit. Not really worth getting annoyed about, unless you're the kind of person who has decided to be annoyed at every single thing the EU does or says

Glad you raised this one OP. I have to agree he is a bit of a knob. But the world is full of knobs I guess, some are in positions of power and seek to stay there with their knobby comments. He's just a knob.

He's as pissed as a newt, did he face disciplinary action for bringing the EU in to disrepute.

Fucking hell if I rocked up for work like that and behaved in that manner I'd never get another booking

And he has the audacity to judge Theresa Mays thought process

Under EU rules he'll probably get a bonus on his multi-million Euro pension for his services...to alcohol.

Former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis was on the radio a few days ago talking about the bailout negotiations he had with Juncker and Merkel. He described Juncker as "insignificant" and a "figurehead" "tolerated" by Merkel.

So when it comes to Brexit, May will have to be at her bloody-minded best as it will not be the d*unk EU President she will be dealing with but a sober Merkel... with a squealing Macron sitting on her lap.

A bit of a knob? I'd say he is a lot of a knob, lol. He's now admitted that leaking part of the 'private' dinner with Theresa May details to the German press was a huge mistake and has strengthened Theresa May's hand in the general election. He's also tried to pass the blame for it onto someone else and thrown his close friend EU commission cabinet chief Martin Selmayr under the bus in an attempt to pass the buck. Reports say Merkel is furious with Juncker about the leak and the EU's brexit negotiator Michel Barnier is embarrassed by Junckers behaviour. The EU say they are 'united' but cracks are starting to emerge in the EU and negotiations haven't even properly started yet.

English is the dominant language throughout the world spoken in the UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Rep of Ireland and most of the Commonwealth. It will remain so after Brexit, sounds like the comment was just another jealous D*unken slur from Juncker.

Think Chinese and Spanish eclipse English but English is the language of Business and Air Traffic Control, and no denying how important they are!

I think english is the most commonly learnt second language, we were talking with a dutch and german couple while on holiday and they said that when speaking to other nationals it was english they all used as most understood a bit, the dutch guy said no one knows any dutch apart from the dutch

I was in Bulgaria a few weeks ago. A little incident happened at the 10 pin bowling alley. Honestly very minor so that's not the problem but it's amazing how if you want to make a complaint no one can understand a word of English .

I suspect that might happen in the conference room when we start complaining about the terms of brexit being a bit harsh

You might struggle to land an airplane if you speak French seeing as English is the standard for pilots and air traffic control.
