Colman:

Turns out I don't care if it gives some of the British establishment a testosterone boost.

The British establishment couldn't care less and will continue with EU disruption tactics on a business as usual basis.  Her appointment is an attempt at appeasing British Euroscepticism which will simply react by treating the EU with even greater contempt.  They hate the EU, and now, thanks to their efforts, the best the EU can come up with is some obscure Belgian and some even more obscure Brit.  Life just couldn't be better if you are an anti-EU British establishmentarian.
