Lieber Herr Merz, the reason why your perception is that Germans aren’t working enough is because they are spending half the day trying to find a fax machine, in a waiting room or on hold to do even the most basic of administrative tasks

In response to a question on how one of the richest countries in the world struggles to run swimming pools and stop infrastructure from crumbling, Markus Söder says that Bavaria is great and pays for everyone else, and the left party are linked to anti-semites and criminal clans.

The rental company screw us over with incorrect calculations for Nebenkosten. I join a mietverein. After one year they replace the simple upload portal with AI chatbots that refuse to accept any document you upload or allow you to speak to a real person. MAKE IT STOP!

In Germany for decades it was CDU/CSU adjacent intellectuals and commentators that loudly proclaimed they (sometimes rightly) were realists confronting Leftist illusions It is profoundly worrying that so much of the Centre Right now embraces fantasy politics rather than structural reality

So in one week: 1) Reform get stung for dodgy finances, and the regulators play pass the parcel about enforcement 2) Farage announces plans to largely dismantle independent scrutiny of govt, and barely any press discussion of it 3) Masked thugs blockade a port, with narry a word from senior govt

Anyway the demographic and climatic projections of the next decades make it hard for me to maintain my usual sunny disposition for the future

I’m sure the climate protestors also had ‘concerns’ but since it wasn’t ’hatred for other human beings’ they weren’t legitimate so off to jail they went.

With all respect to the BBC, the reason this story "matters" is not about whether it distracts from Reform's conference. It "matters" because it is important our leaders are not conspiring to break the law.

Farage et al. basically fell for the treatment that’s usually reserved for the England men’s team football managers?

The logical end-point when the goalposts continuously shift on migration and ‘integration’. Theres always another segment of people to target and increasingly extreme measures to do so. Fascism doesn’t start with this, we allow it to get that far.

Half of the parties that have refused to work with the AfD on democratic principle that they are enemies of the constitution have also spent the past decade saying they are right about immigration, gender, sexuality, and the NGO and cultural scene. The firewall was formal but not substantive.

Endangering your career because you were desperate to go to a nightclub in Derby. Even in my late teens/early 20s with no athletic career to speak of and living nearby did I ever want to do that…
