Get to know the Germans

[pred]

I'm just watching this programme now (recorded earlier).

The reason why Germany's car industry is going from strength to strength and ours has died is very simple.

In Germany they all pull together.
In Britain we all pull in different directions.

And that applies to all industry and many aspects of life in general.

Too late to change now, of course.

That's why Germany was successful in the 60s, 70s, 80s and onwards. They formed workers unions that worked with management to plan, change and modernise industry to the benefit of everybody. We also formed unions of course but our lot worked against management, refused to change, refused to modernise and the only planning that took place it was a plan to destroy our industries. We are all now suffering the consequences.

Sorry Jeds, they used cheap labor from Turkey, and now regret it as they can't get rid of them as there are a few generations born in Germany.

For some reasons I have never understood the Germans formed a treaty with the Turks in WW1 & WW2. As Germany was smashed during WW11 they gave out guest worker passes to them. The Magic word being GUEST. However, even the logical Germans overlooked extended stays and sproggs. Today many don't them anymore and are applying pressure. These Turks are not allowed political powers and that is the diff between us and them. We in our ,'got to be fair' and 'cricket' [usually those with dough] allowed our democratic [loosely] system to be manipulated by our UNWANTED guests. So much for democracy the majority at the mercy of the enemy within. Don't give them your money.
