      Germany : C'mon UK, all the EU is is a multi-nation trade agreement that also makes traveling between nations easier and has members use one currency.
      *12 years later*
      Germany : If you don't accept 500,00 muslim immigrants who don't speak the language, have no education, practice a religion that goes against most of the values you hold dear, will ALL require government assistance, and have shown a shocking propensity towards violence, we will levy massive sanctions on you and call you a bunch of racists on the international stage.

      @@lfcmike12 German censorship laws are very lenient and the ones we do have are seldom enforced. Admittedly we have a few extremely outdated censorship laws dating back to the Bismarck era which need some revision but free speech isn't an issue in Germany.
      Unfortunately we also do allow misinformation to be spread by people who exploit others for personal gain and seldom punish it but that's a side effect of being a free country and I wouldn't want it any other way.

      Yes what has she done? She's got that 'just smacked in the face bloated look' now. With the inability to use facial expressions

      He doesn't work in Germany at all and I think I remember him stating he doesn't want to, ever. Understandable, this guy would be a waste here. Pearls before swine.

    British comedy has been lacking good Bismarck jokes for a while, but here is Henning Wehn to provide them.

    Considering the current outcry about the German Episode of Fawlty Towers being removed I wondered how Henning felt about his nationality being constantly ridiculed? Personally, I think he’s a good sport and if he was really upset by it he would say. I love him, and I think everyone does too

    This guy is great. He takes all this shitty war shit and rips the piss out of it. I wish the British would do the same.

    Stepped out of my hotel in Remagen and was accosted by an old bag lady in a manky raincoat and long grey hair that looked like it hadn't been washed since the end of the 3rd Reich. She had the audacity to call us American Schweinhunds. I took great exception to this. I replied "Madam, I will have you know, we are British".
