On other news the evil woman, Merkel, is adamant about admitting more refugees.
I have been told that the reason why the coalition talks to form a government are in their 3rd or 4th month (historically long) are because no party, the Greens, SPD or anyone else wants to go with the Horror B____'s plan for more refugees.
People will often read a news story about some sordid crime can comment that they hoped that said criminal did not breed. In Merkel's case it is no consolation.
