You’ve got to feel sorry for the Germans you really have. They have suffered immensely over the last decade from terrible decisions made by the political classes who should have managed Germany for the primary benefit of the German people.

The Germans have seen the peace of their nation slashed to ribbons by the crimes and terrorist attacks carried out by ‘Merkel’s Migrants’. Their Leftist parties in some parts of the country such as their capital Berlin, are dominated and to a large extent controlled by hard core jihadists and their centre Left and centre right parties are becoming, quite rightfully in my view identified as the cause of many of Germany’s economic, political and social problems. The German economy, once seen as the great miracle of post World War II Europe is floundering and the German people have been forced, by increasingly lunatic ‘green’ policies, to have to endure some of the most expensive energy in Europe.

The dire state that Germany is in economically is producing horror stories such as Mercedes-Benz declaring that they will no longer be making large investments in Germany. Think of that for a moment. The company that produced the first practical motor car, built the car that enabled the first long distance journey in a horseless carriage by a women, at a time when in many places women could not even vote. The company that provided the motive power for the German military in two World Wars and which became, post World War II, the company that produced the cars that the public eagerly wanted and desired, is now not willing to invest in facilities in Germany itself. This is a terrible and worrying indication of how deep Germany’s economic troubles are.

Whilst this decision is ostensibly the result of a trade union dispute it’s likely that other factors, such as the cost to the company of doing industrial business in Germany, the enforced transition to electric vehicles that few wish to buy and energy prices, helped. German politicians have helped to create the economic and political conditions where Germany’s premier automotive company cannot afford to invest in manufacture in Germany. It’s German politicians who have imposed lunatic restrictions on what a company can manufacture for ‘green’ reasons resulting in Chinese EV’s being dumped in large numbers on a German market that due to economic woes cannot now afford the equivalent type of vehicle from a German manufacturer. It used to be the case that Britain was the ‘sick man of Europe’ but now that unwanted tag can be applied to the Germans.

If I was a German I’d be getting very angry right now at what their political classes have done to their country. They should be angry at the importation by Angela Merkel and others of Stabby Syrians, Third Reich adoring ‘Palestinians’ and all the other third worlders that have made the lives of ordinary Germans an utter misery. They should be angry at the political class that decimated Germany’s energy security and which has made energy increasingly unaffordable for many Germans and angry at an economic policy that has delivered little to the German people except closed factories and German companies refusing to invest in the nation of these companies birth.
