  1. After the uprising of the 17th June
    The Secretary of the Writers Union
    Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee
    Stating that the people
    Had forfeited the confidence of the government
    And could win it back only
    By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier
    In that case for the government
    To dissolve the people
    And elect another?

  2. Although immigration policies and asylum follow-up procedures, for example, are decided nationally,

    Always fucking lying.

    One of their “migrant” pets could have his knife in your guts, and they’d be smirking and telling you not to be racist.

    They’ve long ago redefined ‘democracy’ to be a result rather than a process.

  4. We were on the Danube in summer 2023 and we were rejoining the boat in Passau after a coach trip to Salzburg. At the border crossing over the Inn there were lots of polizei around and the lady who flagged the coach down looked a bit flustered, wondering whether to check us all. Eventually they let us through without any checks but we had been warned to take our passports that day. I guess it’s even worse now.

    Make the people vote again (and again, if necessary) until they come up with the correct answer…

  6. We had a country councillor come to our parish counil meeting yesterday. When asked about asylum seeker hotels he went on and on about *migrants*. Bolleaux to migrants, what about ASYLUM SEEKERS?

    I recognise this reverses my usual rant. Bolleaux to the 20,000 asylum people, what about the 2,000,000 migrants?
