Incidentally my granma had Romany blood, so that also makes me part Romanian gypsy, how kool is that?..

I'm always a bit perplex when someone refers to the Angles (a single Germanic tribe) and to the Saxons (with the main groups Westfalians, Eastfalians and Engerns - each with a couple of tribes).

The song you quote, is a nationalist-patriot Nazi tune.

Apparently the police sniper believed he saw the guy had a gun in his hand and was raising it towards other police officers.

Such things can happen. I remember back when Bill Clinton was president, one of our air patrols over Iraq massacred two US Army helicopters filled with civilian aid workers. Our fighter pilots believed they were seeing large Soviet attack helicopters preparing to slaughter Kurds on the ground.

It might be good (for both military and police, worldwide) if techniques could be developed to reduce the possibility of these sorts of erroneous beliefs. However, if such techniques were easily developed, they would already have been developed. Not an easy problem to solve.

My uncle (her son) said she was a gypsy.. Smile

Not all Germans were nazis. The song was also sung by ordinary Wehrmacht troops.. Smile

@Romeo Fabulini,

I didn't mention who sung it - the tune was (is) used by the boy scouts as well - but that the song is a "nationalist-patriotic Nazi tune".

He should and she would have known better that she's been a Roma.

'Wir traben in die Weite' was a German cavalry song written in 1914 before the nazi party existed.
The title translates as 'We trot into the vastness',
and a later line is 'Laßt rasten nicht die Pferde', (Don't let the horses rest)

PS- my granma died in 1974, and my uncle died in 1975, and regrettably i never did get round to asking for more details about her Romany ancestry.

There were no police snipers you ******* idiot. He was challenged by armed police and shot by one, not shot by a police sniper on a rooftop.

We're all familiar with the case it's been the headline on the news for days. We don't need some half baked report from a moron.

Is "pride" anything like a feeling of superiority?

You're repeating yourself. Cool is not a word I would use to describe you.

I thought "cool" originated with the early Beatniks. Then it was "cool cat."

The bohemian lifestyle is the antithesis of Keeping Up Appearances thinking. Hyacinth would never consider herself cool. Neither would Elizabethhh. You Brits love to show off the ability to pronounce "th," in my opinion.

I imagine most people feel a sense of superiority talking to you Fluff, even a ******* idiot like Romeo.

Well we Brits civilised the entire heathen world so we can take pride in that.. Smile

Cecil Rhodes suggested we **** 'em white. That's where Rhodes scholarships came from.

@spendius,

Cecil Rhodes was evidently unfamiliar with aboriginal anatomy.

Perhaps he meant "bleed them white". Still unconvincing, though.

"Bloodbath on the high street as experts predict 12,000 shops could close this year"

When I read that just minutes ago, I thought ..... well, it's from the Mirror, so I stopped thinking.

The report then continues that
"Experts predict tens of thousands of jobs could be at risk as record numbers of customers desert stores to buy online instead"
<photo with a red (sic!) umbrella>
"A shocking 12,000 shops face the chop in a bloodbath on the high street this year. ... ..."

@Walter Hinteler,

Just think of all the extra vans on the road though, delivering stuff.

Stuff we never realised we needed.

We can have more charity shops and local centres dedicated to the improvement of the human race and its habitat.
