Are Merkel & May Passed Their Sell-By Dates?

[Khandro]

Angela ('once a communist always a communist') Merkel, hates Germany, and May has for two years worked against the will of the majority of the British electorate, shouldn't they both exit and pronto?

Did you mean "sell-out", Khandro?

[Zacs-Master]

And did you mean ‘past’?

[youngmafbog]

Yup

[Baldric]

Breitbart + passed, you just couldn't make it up.

[johnk]

Yes, but does the evidence for what you claim just come from a newspaper article? Remember the old reporters adage ""don't let the truth get in the way of a good story"" as you'll see in most UK sensationalist rags.

Angela Merkel "hates Germany"? What are you basing that assumption on?

And Theresa May has "worked against the will of the Electorate"- that is quite disingenuous- she has secured a deal which fulfils the core aims of the referendum. What would exiting their posts do, in your opinion, to ensure stability and progress?

Zacs //And did you mean ‘past’?//
No, "passed" is correct, and if you want to attempt to score points on grammar you should do some homework, unless you want to look a fool. n.b. Baldric

spungle; There is a piece of reportage where she picks up a German flag, and shaking her head, removes it from the stage. Nothing she does is in the interests of the ordinary German people; allowing one million mostly Muslim economic migrants into the country (and via Schengen, also Europe) This week she is signing up Germany to the outrageous U.N. compact in Marrakesh, which will give everyone, everywhere, the "right" to migrate to wherever they want.

Did you ever travel in the former East Germany before re-unification?
That is where and how she was brought up, and what is ingrained in her.

[Spungle]

Merkel has won more elections than I care to remember- if no-one else the German people clearly love her, so to suggest that she somehow "hates Germany" is very unlikely. She may hate the version of Germany that you regard as Germany (the Germany of the 70's) that you point out before the collapse of the wall, but the Germans clearly like her! They're quite able to vote her out, of course, if they wish.

Same for the Brits- most of us support May, that's why she's in power.

[Khandro]

Sorry wrong vid. this is it

[Spungle]

No, I never visited East Germany prior to reunification, although I have visited Germany several times. What sort of mindset should your version of a German Chancellor have? Someone unelected person who "knows whats best" for the German people? I think they've tried that once before, and it didn't work too well.

[Spungle]

Yes, I remember the Merkel flag video now. It might seem strange to us as British, but due to history, flag-waving and open nationalism is not common, and generally frowned upon in Germany, apart from at sporting events. You have to understand the relationship between the German people and their flag to understand the context here. It may be hard for us to take in, but this is not evidence of Merkel "hating Germany" and is not disrespectful at all.

[Spungle]

As for Merkel allowing the thousands of migrants to flood Germany, that is, I believe, a catastrophic error of judgment on her part, and no doubt many will not forgive her for it. That is why Merkel cannot carry on for ever and ever and no doubt one of the major reasons she is stepping down before long.

Lol is your real issue the fact their women?

[Deskdiary]

^^^how on earth have you managed to leap to that?

[spathiphyllum]

maybe their "best before.."

[ichkeria]

It’s the same old same old from the usual source. Getting a bit dull now

[emmie]

i believe they are long overdue for retirement, and its nothing to do with their gender.

[Khandro]

//Lol is your real issue the fact their women?//
I won't dignify that question with an answer.

May's feebleness and disastrous misuse of her position is well outlined in today's Huffpost;

'Throughout the past two years, Brussels has been frustrated by the lack of detail, or impracticality, of the UK’s plans. And the EU27 felt that May last night was frustratingly vague about what kind of ‘legal’ assurances she wanted. Jean-Claude Juncker twisted the knife in his late night press conference: "Our UK friends need to say what they want, instead of asking us to say what we want, and so we would like within a few weeks our UK friends to set out their expectations for us, because this debate is sometimes nebulous and imprecise.” '

[emmie]

nebulous and imprecise, exactly.. waste of time going to Brussels again and again, they aren't going to budge.
