Incorrectomundo, my cockney friend! Au contraire - after reading Walter's naive little piece it became a matter of even greater urgency that I get to the toilet in time to take a dump before an accident should occur...
The trouble with Germans nowadays is that they all feel sheepishly obliged to espouse far leftwing causes as a demonstration of having divorced themselves from having any nazi sympathies.
If a present-day German should happen to utter one stray word that could be interpreted as betraying political sympathies which rest somewhere to the right of Marxist-Leninist political theory - they can soon expect to become social pariahs and outcasts in their own community.
Over the years I've probably had more political conversations with Germans than Walter has had sauerkraut sandwiches - and it has always amazed me how successfully they have all been brainwashed into championing leftwing causes.
And what today is the most ubiquitous and most enduringly effective instrument for political indoctrination might I ask, Damen und Herrren... ?
Correct! For at least the past 40-years the public schools system of Western nations have been the main intrument for shaping the political attitudes and belief system of the younger generation.
