"Mr President, thank you for this very generous ruling. It is dangerous to play games of bluff when one does not have a card in one’s hand. One has to able to back up strong words with action, otherwise one looks foolish. The spirit of Margaret Thatcher was referred to earlier on today in the debate on foreign policy. Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan came from a position of economic and military strength – they could back up their words. The EU and its foreign policy cannot back up its words. Margaret Thatcher is not replaced by David Cameron – he is no kind of replacement – and Mr Juncker is no Ronald Reagan. It needs to be pointed out, although I know you should understand this, that the EU is not a nation. You do not need to be doing these things. A foreign policy and – God forbid! – an EU army is folly of the highest order."@en1
