“this gesture rules you out as a candidate for chancellor. You just can't do that.”

What you need to do is ..... straighten all the fingers and perhaps extend your arm out in front of you......then perhaps!

When Germany finally wakes up to the fact that their wealth is being squandered by other European countries,

It may well pull the plug. and shut up shop, on this European gravy train..

As long as France is in the driving seat,
This insurance job will cost Germany billions…?

Peer Steinbrück, the gift that keeps on giving.

As Mekel's Finance Minister, he once stated that when he did not receive cooperation from another country, he would using force. “ In the old days, we used to use the Whip ! ”

That thinking should have ended with the demise of the Nazi's in 1945. Unfortunately, it remains a problem for managing the EU, and the EU members struggling under the financial burdens placed on them.

I suspect this man has a nice dark uniform and a set of shiny jackboots in his home closet.

PMSL squared!

Social Democrats, Christian Democrats, Free Democrats, The socialist Left Party, and the Greens!

Any more krauts for the gravy train?

“A grand coalition uniting the Christian and Social Democrats was the most popular scenario with participants of the ARD poll. In effect, 47% of participants believed such an alliance would be “good for Germany,” 41% were excited by a Social Democrat and Green government, and 38% believed a continuation of the current coalition would be good for the country.”

They seem to be overloaded with “Democrats” even though they belong to the Labour idiots, the Christian delusionists and the ones that “just want to be Free” as per:

And I thought the UK politicians couldn’t be beaten as stand up comedians. Should be great on the night.
