Theresa May accused of being nebulous

Jean-Claude Juncker, president of the European Commission and a native of Luxembourg which is so small a country it would fit into a tiny section of Texas and not be noticed, accused Theresa May and her whole Brexit demands as "nebulous". I don't know which definition Juncker was thinking of when he made the remark, but here is a selection: muddled, confused, ambiguous, opaque, indefinite, hazy, ill-defined, muddy, unclear...You get the picture. Poor Theresa, she saw red when she heard that word and took on Juncker face to face. As the cameras watched her lips move, she definitely said to Juncker, "You called me nebulous." He later said he was calling the whole argument nebulous but he was lying in his well-formed teeth, he was referring to her because the whole Brexit deal is all about Theresa. I have to say, also, that Juncker has some alarmingly creepy tendencies. On camera he was seen flicking away the blond locks of some attractive woman standing in front of him. Yuuuuck!! And he's all hands, touching, caressing and smoothing down. Definitely creepy. If I was a woman with long blond hair I wouldn't want some Luxembourgian politician or any politician touching my hair like that. So, back to nebulous. It's a rude word in the context Of the Brexit drama and he knows that. He didn't need to be rude to Theresa and I noticed that as soon as she accused him of using the word to describe her he immediately put his hand on her arm as if to say, "There, there, dear, no need to get upset". Again, yuuuuck! Actually the British PM was pretty precise about what she wanted from the EU leaders but they just turned against her. So Juncker from Luxembourg, keep your hands off our prime minister and give her a little respect. But I don't think it will make a blind bit of difference to the Brexit story. As all the papers are saying today, her deal is dead. The idea of a second referendum is gathering momentum but. as I have said before, I doubt that will do anything but confuse the issue even further. That word "nebulous" is going to stick in Theresa's throat and may be it will encourage her to do something really bold to prove to the odious Juncker that she is not imprecise or wavering. Perhaps an amazing speech in which she denounces Juncker and all his cohorts and rouses the people of the United Kingdom to back her. A reincarnated Boadicea, fighting for our future, fighting for our dignity, fighting on the beaches and telling the EU, "For God's sake we're all on the same side, stop being so petty and vindictive and spiteful." If only she would and could. But it's not in her. She is no Maggie and she is definitely no Winston.
