Re: rotterdam
An old workmate was here yesterday, he has lived in France for 11 years, i told him not to do it, and he is trying to sell his house there and return to UK, he tells me that large amounts of the French want out of the EU, so maybe the veils are lifting from their eyes. He also says that its hard to sell because the Brits are no longer buying in France, or anywhere in the EU, kt

Re: rotterdam
reply vic mcclymont
your right the coverage is zero by the main news outlets, there was coverage on RTnews and also besides that attack there was two lots of axe attacks but they had nothing to do with terrorisim or so the germans are saying,
just wait until the polling booths open in Germany this year frau angela merkal the Nazi queen of the European union will not find her self in office come the day, and now with getting the backs of the turks up with a bit of luck the turks will let more immigrants through and also those turks in Germany will kick off leading up to those elections

Re: rotterdam
No matter how many years a Turk lived and worked in Germany he would never ever be able to become a German citizen.They were Gastarbeiter--Guest Worker and that is how they would always stay.When my son lived in Berlin (the wall was still up) we went there a couple of times,we were on the train one day there was an advert with a picture of a woman my son said the wording was by day she is German by night she is a Turk.These posters were put out by some civil rights group or whatever who were fighting the Turks corner,you are glad of us todo the work,once work is over you are a Turk.

Re: rotterdam
Lady I know, German by birth, just back from a holiday there tells me the German shave had enough. Far too many economic refugees who want it all for nothing. Merkell she tells me is cactus now and a strong right wing gov is likely after the next election.
#7 it is not the Turks to worry about by bending over to their wishes, that would be the Greeks.


Happy daze John in Oz.
