Jean-Claude Juncker’s state of the union address yesterday should have people asking the really fundamental question “where is the European Union actually going?”

Anyone looking at the contents of the European Union Commission President’s speech should view it with horror.

Jean-Claude Juncker put forth his vision of a lurch towards a federal superstate with far more centralised powers, an extension of the Schengen zone, an expansion of EU control over banking, an EU finance and budget minister, an internet tax, a financial transaction Tobin tax, an EU employment minister, the Euro currency for the whole EU and an EU defence force by 2025.

But if you read the left wing press in the UK he might as well not have said any of that. In fact they are saying that Mr Juncker does not make the decisions so this stated dream won’t happen, because nation states won’t be happy about it.

My answer to that is that people like Mr Juncker don’t make speeches like this without good reason and just because a couple of EU member state politicians speak out against it doesn’t change much as far as I’m concerned. After all, who’s going to stop the Commission? And voting as many times as it takes to get the right answer seems to be par for the course in the EU anyway.

The total lack of interest shown in this by many on the Remain side within the ranks of UK politicians and media should concern people. They have continued their pro-EU talk as if nothing has changed. When in fact the president of the Commission has indicated a whole new direction of travel for the EU that consigns the Remain campaign to the dustbin of history. Talk about blinkered!

Those Remainers would also, I would surmise, be perfectly content for us to pay a huge Brexit divorce bill to fund this dangerous nonsense.

The EU is trying to present the UK with a Brexit divorce bill to get us to pay for our supposed ‘financial obligations’ and the Remainers want that bill to be as high as possible.

But no-one said before the referendum that the UK would be funding an EU defence force, in fact the opposite was claimed! So, with zero obligation we should refuse to give anything to that project for a start, even if as a Leaver you were actually fully aware that the hidden aim of the EU was to have its own army.

And in exactly the same vein we have no obligation to pay for their other new dreams and wish lists to which we had no input.

Also, bear in mind that hypothetically if we did pay up, what assurances do we have that the money will be spent on those so-called obligations and what redress do we have if it is not? Given that the EU will already be short of cash after we leave, these proposals from Juncker would end up re-directing funding and generate whole new budget lines, so being able to check that any money we gave them was properly spent would be nigh on impossible.

As we are not legally obliged to pay, we should also now absolve ourselves of any moral imperative and refuse to pay the EU anything. And I look forward to the progressive left joining our call not to fund a foreign army - although I suspect they would be more than happy to fund the resulting totalitarian marxist set-up.

Then there’s the rest of the world. How do nation states and companies from around the globe now view the EU? Will it still be a safe place to invest? Or will this inject just a little bit of uncertainty into the equation?

Mr Juncker only has two years in post to try and make his vision a reality. But as an old politician now in a hurry, he could be a very destabilising influence for the EU. So, where is the EU going?

What do you think?
