Has Germany now changed? And France? And possibly Belgium?

Countries change all the time, but has Germany now got a long term problem?

It needed and needs a lot of workers to migrate there for several years to come, but it now seems to have a major problem. I think? Do you agree?

* let me clear the desk please.

I registered here with vonMichael but the system didn't accept it so I had to change it to deMichael and that's it.
To make it easier for you just call me Michael.

Thanks to all of you for telling me a bit off. I would say life in the UK is far to complicated for people of my age. Learning 36 different dialects is one thing, to hear them and to understand them in speech is an other. And just going across the channel to visit one part of the south coast is not what I've in mind. No if I was young enough I would come to the UK I would like to stay, work and live in different areas cos that would make sense. But there are special places I would like to visit like Kent or Yorkshire for instance I've heard a lot of. Wait and see as you say.

@stillaliveandkicking

The Germans have a word for your attitude...Schadenfreude.

Personally, I'd be delighted if it works.

You're so right with what you say!! With her decision she didn't give the UK an alternative to the Brexit. Full control of who is entering the country.

*obieone ( major problem )

Not now really but the problems will arise after Mrs. Merkel retreat. Done and gone has got nothing to do with politics as I see it.
I think her decision of Sept. last year aimed to the Nobel Prize competition 2015. She has been showered with honours in the past but that prize is still missing. I guess she may was bearing the thought of what Pres. Obama can do I can do better?? Heaven knows.
