The end of ABC News and its credibility. It's now become a Neo-Goebbels propaganda outlet.

So much for the 'Good Old Days' eh? I never thought they were. I remember filthy stations and cold buses. Most LGBT venues had back yard entrances, no windows and there were very few cafés, no sitting outside, no beer gardens. Never believe the nonsense about those days being better than today.

Something else for that toilet (wall) in Florida. Merz was saying.. "You're actually one of us." Well done Merz and I didn't even /wouldn't vote for him.

All these delights, now made pointless by the digital 'revolution'.

Good job you got when you did. If I'd've seen it first I would've snapped it up.

I think it may be an insurance policy for him. They'll all 'owe him' in years to come. He may need them post 2028.

You see what you know.. It's the Daily Mail that en fait, vraiment finds itself in a Cul-de-Sac.

Both TDK & SXV are 1956 registrations.

I have this photo in my collection. I believe it is in Austria, not Germany - 1950s. The Messerschmidt SXV still exists in 2025 and was sold on 12/11/22 for: £25,833!

I believe that car still exists. I seem to recall seeing it about 30 years ago.

I'm convinced most were forced fed Hamburgers by their parents in the dark BSE days.

The Building is the Bavarian State's representation to the Federal Government in Berlin. A Bavarian embassy, like all the German states have. Bavaria has been governed for over 60yrs by the most right wing 'democratic' parties - CSU. It is Bavaria showing support to the States of Israel & Ukraine.

No, they are not confused. One of the German State's Staatsraison since 1949 is to support the 'State' of Israel. That will not change. Your apparent ignorance of German history is surprising.

Well, if you do want to meet 'actual Brits', try going to Berlin, Barcelona or Prague every weekend, or the whole week in summer - they are there by the thousand - and in most other European destinations. These racists are finding it ever harder, contorting to submerge their dog whistles.

Just a few days ago I was confidently - and entirely wrongly - predicting that Simion would win. He got his fascist arse handed to him, the ugly fucking cunt. What a night.

I'm old enough to remember that the Victoria line did something similar, but not so spectacularly. It too, should have at least been built to a larger, sub-surface profile.

I get your gripe, but for correctness, Israel is a member of Eurovision. Canada, although it also speaks French, isn't yet part of the EU.

I come from an immigrant family. My partner comes from an immigrant family. Many of our friends come from an immigrant family. We take it personally. We know the message that's being sent, who it's for, and what it's meant to say.

I actually meant 'State financial support' not Government financial support.
comment in response to
post
Not to mention support on certain social media outlets. The German Parliament will soon be deciding on whether to ban the party or stop government financial support. Banning won't stop another party coming forward, or cleanse people's minds, but the title AfD will be gone. A big step.

Haha. It depends on who you ask. Mexico City? Yeah, they're very nice before they kidnap and shoot you.

The Mayor's father was a bus driver - sadly, he's a bus fan. No new tram routes with this mayor I think.

Because they know. They know that one day these videos and their actions will come back to bite them. Fucking hard, hopefully.

Ich habe mich gefragt, warum nicht Tagelöhner. Könnte die Verwendung von 'Tagearbeiter' regional sein? Ich glaube auch, dass das seltsame „e“ daher kommt, dass der Autor beim Schreiben nicht sicher war, ob er Tagarbeiter oder TagEarbeiter schreiben sollte.

"national socialist German WORKERS party.." It's nothing new. Pretend you're on the workers side, then imprison (and murder) union members once you are in power. There seriously needs to be much more education on fascists out there.

Who would've guessed? Access to the EU (for the UK), just like the article you posted is behind a paywall. In that time honoured Trump saying. The UK doesn't hold any caahrds.
