Major blow for Cameron as EU boss tells PM: There’ll be NO more reform if you Remain
UK Express ^ | June 22, 2016 | Greg Heffer

European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker today dismissed Mr Cameron’s eve-of-referendum pledge he will push for changes to migration rules if the UK stays in the EU beyond the historic referendum in less than 24 hours time.

It represents a major blow to the Tory leader’s hopes of persuading still undecided voters to vote Remain with the promise of a further renegotiation of Britain’s relationship with Brussels.

In a newspaper interview today the Prime Minister said he can “guarantee” a Remain result will give him the mandate to push eurocrats for greater reform of the 28-country bloc.

I’m really surprised they didn’t hold their tongues until Friday rather than throw some gas on the fire right before the vote.

En vino veritas. Jean-Claude Juncker is well-known as a drunkard so it was probably the liquor making him tell the truth.

This news reinforces one of the biggest surprises to me in this whole campaign. I thought the EU would play nice before the vote in an effort to mollify British voters, maybe even send some (dishonest) signals about limiting immigration, then turn on a dime once Britain voted to remain in the EU. Instead, it’s basically been one big middle finger to Britain. Total arrogance.

They are arrogant because they have already decided what the outcome will be before the vote tomorrow.

Why? They clinched it with their Reichstag fire/assassination of Cox. The Brexit side took off, whil the pro-EUSSR side got 3 days of propaganda. The PRo-Eussr side has the media support and money.
