On the plus side Toneee's ability to self-publicise seems to have been seriously compromised since he left office - presumably because he's so busy talking to US students about Jesus (or possibly vice versa) that he's not really that interested in being World God-like Microbeing in Charge of Peace, Food and Total Amazingness, or whatever he's calling himself this month.

He won't want the EU job unless it comes with a shiny tiara and - more importantly - the chance to make even more money.

The downside is that if he gets the job, the UK Eurosceptics will feel vindicated in their EU loathing.

And that might not even be unfair, considering.
