Bavaria is a source of German stereotypes, while in #Germany its considered the least German of the Bundesländer. This makes it hard to describe to non-Germans. While some make comparisons with Texas, perhaps a better example can be found in the UK? bit.ly/3gBo2jG

If you're going for Fascist cosplay, at least have the decency to grow the stupid moustache and do the ridiculous goose stepping too.
🇩🇪 #AfD Björn Höcke spricht in #Düsseldorf von:
- Desinfektionsbad
- Umerziehungsprogramm
- Charakterwäsche
- normale Menschen vs. TherapiebedĂĽrftige
- nicht saubere Menschen
- Opfer
- bunte Faschisten
- fauliger Atem
Woran erinnert das?

One thing you can always rely on with the CDU and BILD is that Germany should never change, never lead the way, and at all times ensure that all government policy benefits the wealthiest lobbyists and no one else.
Endlich ist Habecks Heizgesetz Geschichte!
Die umstrittene 65%-Ökoenergie-Quote fällt wieder weg. Öl- und Gasheizungen können auch über 2045 hinaus laufen. Sogar das Klimaziel 100% Ökoenergie ab 2045 soll es so nicht mehr geben.

In less than 3 years the education secretary has gone from “graduates will pay less with Labour” to “we are where we are” 🤙🤙🤙

None of this is true, and voters know it.
Matt mate, your leader is the only person to make a success of Brexit, I mean look at how rich it made him. None else mind.
Reform is the same Tory rubbish: phoney patriotism, get rich, do nothing for anyone but his mates.
Reform will put the people of Gorton & Denton First
Not Gaza
Not the Muslim vote
Not the Labour Party
Gorton & Denton

CDU/CSU: we need to reform the Welfare State, we need to people to work longer hours, some of these reforms might be painful but it’s for your own good!
SPD: Exactly! Let’s refrom inheritance tax, the rich can pay more!
CDU/CSU: …no…we didn’t mean that kind of pain.

Oury Jalloh burned to death while tied to a flame-retarded mattress in an German police cell 21 years ago.
The death is still unsolved.
But German journalists continue to treat police as completely trustworthy sources.

How to Nigel Farage:
1. Say racist things at school
2. work in city, repeat 1 (probably)
3. Found party because Tories don’t think you’re posh enough
4. Become MEP, do little, milk system
5. Brexit Lies
6. Hide from Brexit
7. Become MP, repeat 1, 4, 5, & 6.
8. Avoid work

Flying to any destination is rubbish, but it’s become almost comedically awful with @KLM. Flights rearranged last minute, forever queuing, and now they’ve lost all the kids Christmas presents somewhere between Newcastle and Munich.
At least with Ryanair the flights are cheap.

Special mention to @bookingcom who for some reason just allow scammers to advertise apartments on their platform and then force you to piss about with an AI call centre…enshitification is real.

Ignoring the cack handed use of English here, I’m fairly sure the CSU think “No-Go-Areas” are the the places that serve a sub-par Hugo…
