                FLC is often molested by immigrants, but then to be fair, he does pay for that service.

                  They've traditionally used a lot more gas in Germany, burned a lot more books and smashed a lot more Jews' windows....

                    Bragging rights on 4 world cups, in fact better at most sports
                    speak a language that has much of its origins in German and is in fact a bastard version of many European languages
                    Cricket which is slowly taking off
                    Rugby which is definitely taking off
                    A Royal family who just happen to be German but at least they don't pay for them
                    Go out for a night out without being molested by Tories, right wingers and chavs
                    A minimum of parasitic recruitment agents

                    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
