Don't forget that that nice, amiable Jean-Claude Juncker, who at the
time was General Secretary and Head of the EU Supreme Soviet, said "If
you leave, we will hurt you".


When did he actually say this? Can you provide a cite?


My recollection is that Juncker was shown making the remark in a TV news
report aired before the 2016 Referendum. I was struck at the time by the
demonstration of the EUSSR's line of thought, and have since been mildly
surprised that there appears little mention of it on the interweb.


To balance things up you might quote some of the more outrageous things
said by Farage and BoJo about the EU and consequences of us leaving? Fat
chance of that.
