I strongly believe that Britannia invented irony and sarcasm. Really. We Germans invented seriousness. We're very serious about everything. We don't lough if it's serious. We don't lough ever. Italians like to joke about us because of it. French hate us because they can be soo serious too. Sometimes even more serious than we are. And that's an accomplishment.
Okay, a lot of stereotypes, but who cares? I'm joking a little bit, don't take it seriously. Once you Brits had it all and you lost it and you find a very smart and a very friendly way to make jokes about it and about everyone. Are you tired of it? Has it gone to far? I've been in Manchester this year and besides that I didn't understand a lot of people (you've got a wide range of accents I have to say which is cool) you've got the best pubs on this planet, period. The beer, as we know it today, has been invented in Britain too. I say this as a German whose sicko nation is so f*ing proud of its so-called "Reinheitsgrebot". It might be helpful in the past but now it's a really stupid excuse for making bad beer. But - try a Schönramer. It's a good beer especially if you visit Bavaria like most people do, Schönram is a place in Bavaria. Plus you won't find me there
This post might be a big mistake but however: Yes, I like your little island, I like you. While you ever revoked to be a part of Europe, you always have been a part of it. And I'm sad what my country is doing with Europe and I'm sad what's happening in Britannia. I grew up with BFBS radio - British Forces Broadcast Service in (still) post- 80s Germany. Somehow I'm thankful for this, I can't forget it. British humor is something special, it seems often to be lightweight but if you think about it, it just hits your heart sometimes. Don't loose it. Please. It's a great accomplishment.
To be honest, at the moment I wish I were a Brit myself. Please don't kill me but I would have joined the Labour Party too just because, even if Corbyn isn't the right man. You can replace him if you want to and make it better. The German counterpart is dead, so dead, you can't imagine how dead it is. The Lefties are done in our country they've been beaten to ground. Even the Americans got Bernie Sanders. We've got absolutely nothing so popular. Only sick morons are governing this country now and their agenda is another story, but it's different than that from the past I've to say still. Don't be afraid, we're not about to declare war to everyone so soon again. "We" learned the lesson, "we" do it in a quite different way now, look at Greece.
I can't believe that I'm writing this :-( When I grew up I thought of it that this crap is over. Forever. But well ...
Someone needs to stop this crap. I've been born in 75, grew up in the 80s/90s and all I can say it has NOT become better since than. We need to change this but we should not doing it against each other, okay? For a brief period there was a time were we really left it all behind us. It was a great time. We reached the moon in this time (yeah, it was the USA/NASA but with help from a lot of nations). Our nations developed in a unseen pace ...
You've got a chance to make a difference now, Britons. Do it right And this will end well for you and will have an impact on my country too hopefully. We're in very difficult times again and I really hate history repeating itself. It's enough.
Feel free to flame me ;-) I'm an idealist I can't help myself. Grown up in a country that caused the worst war of all time I stick with people and their concerns, wherever they come from and try to do it better myself. Please forgive me, cynicism is and was never the solution for me. We've been there already. Several times. It's been not very helpful.
