I think it’s important that we stand up to them. All my life I wondered what my grandparents did ( or, did not do) when they lived in 1930’s Munich - not on my watch!

Indeed - I too remember crying about how relieved I was that Germany, my country, was taking it's place amongst Europe and I sincerely hope to cry again when Britain does the same

She was the same on SCD - even Anton who is usually so discreet about his partners hinted she was a lazy mare

I can understand that others have different opinions but if you are percecuting a minority then you can't be a Liberal

Don't understand the TERFs in the LibDems - it's right there in our declaration "... freedom from conformity"!

At the risk of fulfilling a stereotype... it's "lauter Nazis..." ( you did want to know, didn't you?)

The RNLI aid anybody at sea who might be in difficulty irrespective of their immigration status and this enrages them, furthermore the RNLI is funded purely by donations so not "their" tax money ( they have saved humans from drowning)

Thank you So, you stood for office but you couldn't vote? Even more heroic! At least here in the UK I can vote in local elections with having Settled Status (I only have a German passport and have never been eligible to vote in national elections)

I was in awe of you standing and arguing politics only after 4 years of learning German - what an achievement! Can you vote in Germany if you dont have German nationality?

Presumably he will also decline my tax contributions then?

Yes, you’re correct and that’s the problem. Brexit was delivered because of “feelings” and lies and we’re still indulging the hard of understanding now (you can tell I’m fed up being polite & kind - I’m German after all!)

Concur with you but raise you Gisela Stuart - German born (and kept her German passport) but happily betrayed all EU citizens that made Britain their home - vile woman

Not so sure - flew to Barcelona in March, I have a German passport, through in 10 minutes - my partner a British one and waited in queue for 55 mins whilst all around him Brits moaned about how this was "revenge" for Brexit - sigh...

Depends on where in Germany - Weisswurst (a veal sausage) and a brezen (pretzel) is common in Bavaria

Because of you, we adopted a Nigel - had to change his name to Percy, this Liberal couldn't bear to live with a Nigel - he doesn't look as though he minds!

Well, I'm trembling with excitement to vote for you ( but as I'm a German who's lived in the UK for 40+ years, I can't - could you add full voting rights after paying taxes for 5 years?)!
