Jean-Claude Juncker is very angry and here are the pics to prove it

The longest serving head of government in the EU and the head of the Euro Group is not a man to mess with and these pictures prove it…

HE IS THE longest serving head of government in the European Union and as head of the Euro Group, which brings together nations who use the euro for regular meetings, Jean-Claude Juncker has had plenty of stress to put up with in recent years.

With the fate of the euro as uncertain as ever, it is little wonder that the Luxembourg prime minister is at times a little stressed looking and can be very often seen castigating eurozone leaders and particularly finance ministers from bailed-out and profligate nations like our own.

As the eurozone enters another crucial period with discussions over Ireland’s banking debt and the perilous situation in the Spanish banks and the country’s wider economy there is no greater time to remind people that Juncker doesn’t take funny business from anyone.

So European leaders and finance ministers had better watch out because this is what can happen:
