She is a powerful individual, has been in the Brussels mix for decades with the firm backing of all the core states and may well assist him on onto his sword.Phil may have met his Waterloo (which is a mere 30 minutes drive from Hogan's Brussels quarters).

He attended a function that was also attended by the Ambassador of Morocco. Why do Leo and Michael not call upon the Ambassador to resign? We are a nation of gobshîtes.
