Entente Cordiale German Style Or...

[bazwillrun]

Doesn't she have Kraut blood ?

[Khandro]

I think this visit would have been well planned long before the acceptance of this government to hold a referendum.

[ichkeria]

'Die Queen' is what the German papers say
That should get Billy Britain going :-)

[youngmafbog]

Taken right out of the Simpsons I think. Still made me chuckle.

You mean the "no, it's German, for 'the bart, the!'" "Anyone who speaks German can't possibly be evil." bit?

If our only reason for staying in the EU is because the Germans might enjoy a royal visit then we should leave tomorrow.

[Gromit]

The Queen is the head of a German family.

It is her 4th State visit to Germany.

Republics often love monarcies. The US love our Royal family for instance.

As a flimsy excuse for some EU bashing, this news is rather tenuous.

What they could not achieve by force they are attempting by artifice.

"As a flimsy excuse for some EU bashing, this news is rather tenuous"

in your opinion maybe....

[Khandro]

//What they could not achieve by force they are attempting by artifice.//
I have seen many stupid comments on AB, but that has to rank among the most asinine.

[dannyk13]

Thank you Khandro, nice to see a bit of ignorance on AB

[bazwillrun]

not sure artifice is the right word to use , but yes in essence I agree, maybe stealth , lies and subterfuge would be better

[-Talbot-]

Isn't that the same?

[bazwillrun]

theres nothing clever or cunning about what adolf merkel and the rest of her henchmen are trying to achieve, its pretty blatant no matter what she or others describe the plans as, subtle isnt a word that can be used to describe the planned takeover of and domination of all european nations and their people.

[bazwillrun]

probably, depends how pedantic we want to be..wheres Peter Pedant ?

[youngmafbog]

Adolf Merkel and the rest of her henchmen are achieving through stealth what Germany failed to do through 2 world wars.

They will not stop until they have Britain in their grasp, just like other Germans dreamed of. We should have spent money after the war building Britain, not Germany.

[bazwillrun]

"We should have spent money after the war building Britain, not Germany"

thats what my dad was always saying when i was kid...and here we are with them trying to take us over again, albeit different methods...well i suppose they realised that the last method they used didnt work so now theyre trying plan b !

[bazwillrun]

If at first you dont succed, try try again ...its the eussr motto....

[brionon]

Khandro-you can't win against fanaticism.xx

[ubasses]

Well if it is an attempt to butter her up to keep us in, they seem to have blown it with their gift to her. According to the Telegraph she 'treated it with disdain'.

[Khandro]

//According to the Telegraph she 'treated it with disdain'.//
And well she might, what an appalling gift, a painting by someone who can't paint, a great blunder.
