QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Dec 20 2016, 11:17 PM) Probably as Germans seem to be quite accepting of the large number of migrants, the majority of whom must be peaceful.
Just glad she is not in charge of the UK. Good luck to the Germans. Doing the "right" thing has a price. Some German civillians have paid it. Just sad. She's not likely to survive the elections.

Gammon. And proud!

That does not include the silent majority, which are just that, the majority. With any luck merkel and her policies will sink into the historic bad books.

Does not sit well with many. You hit the nail on the head. People cant even be assed to debate any more No point. If you are not with the "agenda" you are branded. Thats why people just say NOTHING and vote how they actually feel at the ballot box. Upsetting for a lot of people. This whole democracy business....

Not that keen on Farage but he has had over 1000 death threats this year. Been reported much??? Stick your head up with any view not "on point" and that is what you get. And it leads to this...... Which is worrying. http://knightstemplarinternational.com

I find it hard to take any organisation seriously that makes grammatical errors like that. (Though even without that, I wouldn't be taking them particularly seriously either.)

Like any other website or newspaper, book or magazine. Or, for that matter, anyone who writes to you. The point is, the point that is being made.

The point is, the point that is being made. No I disagree. Any "professional" organisation that wants to be taken seriously needs to get these things right: spelling, punctuation and grammar. I agree it doesn't matter for casual communications like ordinary emails or posts on a forum. One of the most important things to get right is a CV for a job application, otherwise it goes straight in the bin. I'd be interested to hear who that objectionable person thinks is a "nutjob".
