POST BREXIT - HOW BRITAIN WELCOMES TOURISTS
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ค. 2024
- Culture shocks are real. I have decided to share my experiences of life in Germany as a Brit, as well as the beautiful places I am lucky enough to visit.
My meditative videos show a calming and artistic view of the places I visit and the quiet, peaceful wanders I take through them. Medieval villages, picturesque cottages, beautiful cities. Relax and escape with me from the busy bustling world to my dreamy and serene slow living way of seeing my surroundings. Experience the magic of peering into the past and being in a fairytale, just for a little while.

@@arnodobler1096 Servus Arno (und alle anderen) von mir aus DAH, insbesondere auch zu Lauren nach SOB 🙂.
Irgendwie trifft man sich (Dich, Opa_Andre usw) ja ständig auf YT ... spricht für Euren guten Geschmack LOL
@@rairei Hehe ja stimmt.
@@rairei ach- Dachau! Nicht weit! Grüsse und Ihr könnt gerne die ganze Hitze haben…
Schottland hat mich schon immer begeistert, die Landschaft, die alten Burgen und die Geschichte. Leider bin ich noch nie dort gewesen, ich habe echt etwas verpasst. Tolles Video. Viele Grüße 😊😊
Nächstes Mal zeige ich Dich mehr, lieber Heinz, und Du kannst es durch mich ein Bisschen kennenlernen. Es würde Dir bestimmt gut gefallen. Es gibt nie genug Zeit und Geld, um alles zu machen, gel?
Ja, Schottland würde uns auch mal reizen, hin zu fahren. Leider ist das nach dem
Brexit sehr teuer geworden "dort oben". Na, vielleicht kommen sie retour nach Europa.
Ja, ein Tag ohne Kaffee & Kuchen ist ein verlorener Tag. 😁 Sieht nach einer tollen Reise aus. 👍🏾😎
@@arnomrnym6329 ein Tag ohne Kaffee & Kuchen- nur wenn ich richtig krank bin! Du hast recht! Ja, es war fantastisch, ich bin so dankbar dafür.
Lived in the area for a few years. Good times to look back on. I had a partial view of Holy Island from my main upstairs window.
Lindisfarne used to be always free parking, where you wanted to park - as long as it wasn't on double yellow lines, etc.
Bamburgh has a very good award winning butchers....and nearby Belford has one of the best fish & chip shops in the country.
A couple of overlooked spots for anyone into churches are Berwick & Ladykirk - the former has a very rare church there built by Cromwell, the latter has a church built by King James.
Watched a lot of the filming of one of the episodes of Outlander as they shot a lot of it on some land where I used to visit. Nearest I got to that era though was as an extra in Outlaw King for the scenes shot in Berwick harbour.
North Northumberland is a really nice area & well worth visiting
Woah - I am just watching Outlaw King! How can I spot you?
Yes, Northumberland is really really nice. I loved it.
What a special area to live in. And the relaxed attitude to parking sounds like a distant memory, doesn´t it? Since so many took to travelling in campers, maybe?
Love from Germany! I have sweet memories of Britain ❤.
Danke ich spür deine Begeisterung für die Burgen und die Landschaft. Peter
Ich war wirklich sehr sehr begeistert! Es war ein kleines Traum, ich wusste nicht möglich war, Peter!
Erst ein Like, denn das muss! Und vor dem Video von mir noch einen lieben Gruß!❤😂
You are wonderful, Ben! Danke sehr!
Richtig, so mach ich es auch, Ben!
Und Du kommentierst viel, es hilft mir sehr, liebster Arno!
@@arnodobler1096 moin Arno. Ja ich like auch deswegen zuerst, weil ich auf dem Weg dahin bei VoiceOver über die Zeitangabe komme. Und mich dann entscheiden kann, ob das zeitlich gerade jetzt komplett passt oder erst später. Wie war deine Bootstour?

You went on holy ground! The wide open spaces and that magical light! 😊
@@susannabonke8552 it was wonderful!
"I'm going to see the very first things that the Vikings laid their eyes on in Britain" - camera pans to a stone with a "No Parking" sign! Great video, glad you had some sunshine.
Oh, I love it that you noticed it!!!
@lauren, see now you have yet another connection to Schweinfurt. greetings from a former german soldier from Schweinfurt now in Georgia.
What a coincidence, Uli! On Holy Island, he just happened to be right next to us and suddenly started waving us into the spot and speaking in German. It´s a strange world, often with more than meets the eye, I tell you. I hope you´re well - Grüße aus Bayern.
@@LaureninGermany I say this often: people are interesting; when you talk to them
Nice to see:
Lauren and the holy cuppa coffee
😊
I hope I'll find a way to visit Lindisfarne. It's a quite magical place I assume.
Very beautiful impressions.
Thank you, Lauren.
Man, it was soooooo good..... I drank so much editing this video, sadly not holy coffee anymore. Probably why I feel rather devilish now...
I did two tours of Scotland so far, and have also been to Midhope castle, stumbling uppon it driving around the Edinburgh area without a real plan. Only there I learned about the Outlander series, which somehow had completely passed me for years as it seems. I'm a big fan now, and already had seen lots of other sites from the show.
You mentioned the wonderful staff at those locations, and Yes, I can confirm that. Especially the young guy at that ticket counter at Midhope castle (don't know if it's the same one you encountered) was super helpful, and gave me a lot of great info and was super enthusiastic at showing and promoting the place.
Weren´t they just lovely?! There was a young guy there, that sounds right! I love the series, the music, the scenery...ah....
In and out UK last month was like last decade. It is still an island, still with the same quirks.
Yes! I love it so much!
Will never forget my one visit on a beach at the English East coast (Skegness/Wash). Thanks for bringing me back this mood and memory. These very calm areas are very, very special and do something to our soul. (The same with the very North-West of Ireland).
Yes, you are so right, Mattes. I never thought I would love Northumberland, but I really miss it and want to go again. NW Ireland duly noted...
@@LaureninGermany still every day I learn a new English word. Today it was "duly" 😄
How funny, I actually wondered if you´d know that one, or mix it up with dully. Well done. I shall say it in my next video, if possible, just for you.
Hi Lauren! Thank you for sharing your adventure. It seems like you are really energized by your travels in Britain and am glad to see it😄 All the best, Peter.
@@pgoessnitzer you‘ve hit the nail on the head! I really was, Peter. It made sense of some things that had been bothering me for a long time and it was such a relief.
It looks like I‘ll be raising my next coffee cup to you! Thank you, you are so generous! It‘s so nice of you, Peter!
@@LaureninGermany It's truly my pleasure!
Hello there. I just found your channel, so as you have asked for, I subscribed ❤ I really enjoyed your video and love the places you have shown. I am German doing vanlife and housesitting in Europe and started a similar channel a few months ago. I am looking forward to checking out your music channel, as well. Greetings from northern Hessen, former home of the brothers Grimm
Thanks, Jennifer! I´ll have a look at your channel later. xx
I spent some time on Lindisfarne when studying for my MA in Archaeology at Newcastle. Lindisfarne is beautiful and an amazing place to ponder history. To think that is the very spot the Viking age started!
@@searchingforhistory it has an amazing atmosphere, doesn‘t it? What a fantastic MA you did! How very interesting.
perhaps in England. Vikingage started way before 793. We just came west in 793. Before Lindisfarne we only went East
Yes, that´s probably what he or she meant, the Viking age in Britain.
@@LaureninGermany He. 🙂 Most historians agree the Viking Age was from around 800 until 1050 AD. Did Norse culture and history exist prior to and after those dates? Yes, of course. There are some historians that say 700 AD is a better start date. The Viking Age is when large-scale raiding, colonising, conquest, and trading over a large territory throughout Europe and across the north Atlantic as far as America took place. Most agree that the June 8th, 793 attack on Lindisfarne is the first good example of this and then rapid expansion took place after. This may very well be an anglocentric perspective. I have only read accounts in English, watched documentaries in English and my education is in English. With that being said, the attack on Lindisfarne is considered by many (not all) the start of the Viking Age. 🙂
What an inspiration you are Lauren ! Thankyou
@@gparry42 aw, thank you so much!

Oh! I didn´t think of that....I like the way you see me....! LOL!
Lauren - honestly!!!!😂😢🎉😅❤
0:49/0:50 "I am going to see what the Vikings saw first in Britain..." And at that moment you are showing us a rock with a "No Parking" sign, a nice one though, stuck to it - no way, come on. I pe*d myself laughing, confess! you did that on purpose😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes, I did!!!! Well done you, I wondered if anyone would catch that! You´ve made my day!!!!
@@LaureninGermany omg - I have just seen I had you renamed to Lauten :) - Blödes Autokorrekt :)
Don´t worry! I´m used to Lauten - I´ll answer to most things, if they are said in a friendly way! I´m always writing Getmany instead of Germany, myself.
It's a lovely lovely lovely lovely spot of our planet! 🤩 The travel channel by Steve Marsh shows a lot of that area and short trips all across Europe and sometimes beyond. Worth a watch, too! 🤗

@@LaureninGermany I never made it up further north than London when visiting the UK, I have to admit. But knowing what impact the landscape I saw had on me and what this northern landscapes look like in the pictures, I can tell I's be dragging my jaw behind me on the floor all the time there.
That island just has something that gets me every time I go there.

Oh, it´s too hot, Sisu lol! I edited this all day, (finished it, it takes more than a day). And when you watch, you´ll understand the torture I went through towards the end...
Btw, if you can let it run asap, that really helps the algorithm. I wonder if you´re also a fan of Outlander?
I hope you´re well and thriving despite the heat?! XXX

@@LaureninGermany Will try to remember when I have time! Am already late for bed. Not done with Abendbrot and Ironing though 😑.
Lauren, your joy and excitement in exploring the area is simply infectious. I'm sorry, but I hope I'm not disappointing you too much when I say that I don't think the original Victoria sponge cake was vegan back then. I don't even think the term vegan was known back then. I'm very sorry, but thats my German honesty and directness. 🤷🏻♂
You´re right, Opa Andre, it definitely was not vegan originally. That´s why I was so excited to find such a delicious vegan version!
I loved my adventures in this video! And I would not have gone back to Britain if it were not for you guys, that´s the truth. Big hug to you xxx
Hi Andre!
@@arnodobler1096 Grüße zurück, Arno 👋🏻
Very nice report, thank you !
Oh, thank you!!
so I have been to Jersey recently connecting in LHR.
it was the first time I travelled into/through the UK since Brexit was finalized. maybe it's the decades of the conservative's lack of investments in infrastructure, maybe brexit, maybe a bit of everything. But the passport control was a shite show, interrogated for using a German Emergency Passport (vorläufiger Reisepass) by a border official who didn't know his stuff and was reluctant to hear that he was incorrect, even showing the official german foreign ministry website.
then the question: "how long are you in the UK for"
"do you count Jersey as part of the UK?"
he went quiet and just let me pass.
what the hell?
they were sending connecting passengers into a security queue that was doing exercises/trials - 95% of hand luggage flagged for extra inspection. it took 50 minutes to get our hand luggage. luckily we had plenty of time, but plenty other passengers missed their flights. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
they lost our checked luggage though.
I used to say: why can't FRA be like LHR... but LHR is truly worse than FRA now... like a lot worse.
@@mishXY oh no! It sounds horrible, I am so sorry! Let‘s hope it gets better with the new government.
Your videos are so good, they could be used for tourist marketing.
@@kanalhopper9125 you are so kind! Thank you for such nice words!
Beautiful scenery
It really is! Thanks for watching xx
7:30 I had the same experience at Cardiff and Koch Castles. The staff made the visit extra enjoyable with their attitude.
@@Jsmith2024 oh, I had that at Cardiff Castle, too, a while ago now. They were all friendly and the guide was marvellous. How great to read that you did, too. I used to picnic up by Castell Coch as a teenager!
Im missing England in the EU. Regards from Germany.
@@ralftolosa it‘s so nice to read your words. Thank you!
Sort of proud that Norwegian vikings "found" Britain first, but I really don't like what they did at Lindisfarne. The Norwegian vikings settled in Ireland and the north of Scotland. Danish vikings settled in England.
Thanks for yet an amazing video😊
Honestly, since I visited Norway for a few weeks, it´s so obvious to me that the Norwegians were an influence in the places you mention. It is really sad that there was so much destruction and bloodshed, yes. But it seems many really wanted to simply settle and make a good life in a gentler climate.
Thank you so much!
Hi Lauren - the algorithm recommended me your video so am making your acquaintance for the first time. Lovely video! Delightful how you are so moved by visiting places which featured in your favourite series! What really impressed me however was something else: your WONDERFUL diction! As a native English speaker who has lived most of his life abroad, speaking English for non-mothertongue English speakers, mine has evolved to be precise and relatively accentless too. So I was immediately fascinated and delighted to hear you speak! A delight for my ears! And of course, seeing these magical places is equally delightful. My ears did detect a slight trace of something else in your voice - but only the slightest of traces - so was relieved to hear you are originally Welsh which would explain the slightest of changes in the rhythm I was expecting. I hope I didn't offend you with the above. I will be checking your music channel as I am a big fan of Celtic music from all Celtic regions. All the best, Rob in Switzerland
@@RobWhittlestone hi Rob, well I say thanks to the algorithm. I am also fascinated by accents and diction. I love the existence of Hochdeutsch, for example- an accent-free way for German speakers everywhere to communicate, if they want to. I had to learn RP, but I‘m the exception, sadly. Something like that can only help communication and understanding… ah, I can rattle on so much about this.
Yes, you‘ll hear Welsh and let‘s see if you can detect the other accent that creeps in! I‘m very glad to have you here, thank you!
@@LaureninGermany Hi Lauren - thank you for your beautiful reply! I, too, am fascinated by accents and languages (currently learning my 5th - Greek). Also the history and evolution of languages is absolutely fascinating for me. Quick example: in English, farm animals (and other indigenous ones) have Germanic names, but their meat usually has a French name - Cow / Kuh but Beef / Boeuf or Sheep/Schaf (Dutch schaap) but Mutton/Mouton, Swine (pig)/Schwein but Pork/Porc and so-on. Living here in Switzerland (which also has some celtic influences by the way) I use Swiss German as best I can - which is closer to English or Dutch than High German, interestingly. Snotty nose - Schnuddernase for example. Not Rotz- Also Ross (Horse) not Pferd (compare with Dutch Pard). I apologise for the random capitalization - it was to provide emphasis, not grammatical correctness. All the best, Rob in Switzerland
It´s so funny - I also use capitals to be clearer since being in Germany. I just studied Latin and language changes the Grimms described. (p - f for fish/Fisch etc). The more you look into it, the closer we are all related, don´t you think.
I wonder if the names of animal vs the names for meat was because the ruling class spoke French in Britain?
Leaving another hug-and-cuddle comment for the one and only Lauren! #biancacharmer
hug and cuddle comment - these are simply essential, now, Bianca.
@@LaureninGermany You are so right! 🤗🤗🤗
If you get tired of the sponge cake, can I have the rest?

This is a beautiful and informative video. I'd love to visit those places.
But I don't understand the title "Post Brexit - How Britain welcomes tourists"...
What does this have to do with brexit? Well I bet, one could visit these places also before brexit and there were nice people there too...
Or maybe I'm just not getting it...
Greetings from Germany
Hi Frank, thank you so much for watching and commenting. It´s just simply accurate in that it´s post-Brexit now. Unfortuately, if I don´t write something eye-catching, people don´t click. I make a big effort that the video is a lovely way to spend 10 minutes, it takes me days and days to edit - honestly - and it´s always heart-breaking when noone watches. So I have to play the TH-cam game...
@@LaureninGermany I just looked at some of your other videos...
I think I understand 😊
They're all really fantastic videos...😊
Great 💐
Thank you so much, Frank! How kind of you!

What a lovely presenter. A real Gem for the Uk.Background music is very fitting too.
Oh, thank you so much! The music is very important to me, I´m so glad you like it!
@@LaureninGermany Hi lauren,l just wanted to ask,has the Uk changed for you since your last visit. Does it feel european or something different. Did you feel less welcome at border control. I ask because as a brit because l wonder if visitors feel more intimidated since brexit.I hope a new government will make it a friendlier place to visit. Glad you sensed the ancient cultural connections.
I did feel a bit less welcome at border control, Colin. It felt different and less welcoming than last time, more like they were being very careful about who they let in. I will see if it´s the same next time.
I have high hopes for the new government...I hope these are not famous last words, but it can hardly get worse...
@@LaureninGermany Yes l have heard this from many visitors.An underlying sense of hostility from the border guards. This makes me feel very sad. I want my country to feel warm and welcoming for visitors. The last government caused a lot of damage.It will take some time for Labour to repair the damage. It has given the UK a bad reputation.Old habits die hard.
You are right, and it´s unforgivable really.
Not really a place that would interest me but I'm glad you had fun.
I just know you are a secret Outlander fan! 😂
Oh, Schottland würde ich auch gerne mal besuchen. Meine erste große Liebe ist Schottin und durch ihren Vater habe ich viel gehört. Wunderschön dort. Habt viel Spaß.
P.S.: Outlander habe ich die Bücher gelesen und die waren besser als die Serie. ;)
@@HenryAusLuebeck ah, super! Du musst mal hin, ich denke Du würdest gut dort reinpassen.
Ja, die Serie ist halt was anders. Ich muss mal die Bücher wieder lesen.
@@LaureninGermany ich finde die Schauspieler sind falsch gewählt. Beim Lesen hatte ich ein anderes Bild von den beiden. Claire ist eigentlich ehr vollbusig und hat breite Hüften und Jamie ist ein 2m Mann und so rothaarig wie man sich einen schottischen Kämpfer aus der Zeit vorstellt.😉😘

@@LaureninGermany hahaha 🤣 meine schottische Ex und ich haben die Serie nicht zuende geguckt. Waren zu enttäuscht. Die Bücher sind besser. 😉😘
How funny!!!
Hello - Your video is great, but the title is misunderstanding. I hope to hear realy something about tourism since brexit. So I for me have decided not to visit Britain any more, because EU citizens need now a passport. In Germany where I am living You have a strong burocratic way to get a passport and it needs in my hometown about 6 months. So this circumstances let me visit countries where I need only my identy card. I think they handle European tourist like strangers from oversea. In other countries outside the EU, for example Norway or Suisse, You don't need a passport
I´m genuinely sorry if my title misled you, Holger! I actually wanted to show that the British were very welcoming to tourists, rather than the border control things. I really thought about it, as I do not want anyone to feel tricked into clicking.
I actually entered on a German passport and it wasn´t anything unusual for me. I always had to show my passport in the past (British) and this time I used my German one as I was worried about the Schengen rules being a problem when I left the UK. I had got myself a German passport as I am used to needing an actually passport to travel, we don´t have ID cards in Britain. Maybe this is why I didn´t think about this in connection with the title.
Actually the Danish Vikings had to sail long distances in their open boats, without any sight of land, unlike the Norwegians, who are able to see the islands in the sea as shadows on the Horizon, but it may have been an accident that they actually hit Lindisfarne in search of riches? Sorry friends! Finn. Denmark
I really want the Danes and Norwegians to start fighting in my comment section...! (Really, not joking!) I´d find that fantastic... I need Hans to notice this comment.
Welcome, Finn, I love your country btw!
@@LaureninGermany During a Lecture by a Danish Author and Historian: Palle Lauring, he named we knew the size of the Danish and the Norwegian Leding (The ships a King could claim from his Chiefs during a war!). The Norwegian Leding was never claimed in Full and it was below 400 ships! But the Danish Leding, were near 4000 ships and claimed several times during attacks on England (The pure logistics of sailing that many ships on open sea for days)!!!
The last time in - 1086, by King Knud 4th. (Saint!!), who couldn't decide when to give the order to Attack and in the end had to flee from his Chiefs, from the Ledings gathering place, for month, near the huge "Aggersborg Ring Castle", and down in Jutland, til he ended on the island of Fyn and claimed the "Church Peace" by the Alter in Albani (A British Saint!) Church in Odense!
But Vikings didn't care about such - nonsense and killed him in the Church with his men and his Bishop!!
The Kings and the Bishops bones are still to be seen below glass in the Crypt below the Church! Finn
The Church couldn't leave this as unnoticed, so soon "Wonders" started to happen by his grave and he Officially became declared a Saint, though not very Saintly during his life!!!
Honestly, that says it all...
No they did exactly what they wanted to do. Norway and Britain had already been trading for centuries and knew the monasteries was unprotected riches.
Great video, Lauren. As usual i had to watch it twice. There are so much untold about Lindisfarne still. Hundred of Vikings against a small flock of God serving monks, is not really fair play. But it happened and changed the course of Europes history forever. Despite historical evidence points out all three Scandinavian countries as viking nations, i suspect the Norwegians started it. "Vik" in Norwegian, means "bay". And "ing" is just a way to end a word. (Ex: He is a Tromsø vær-ing) A person from Tromsø. Besides; opposite of a land of milk and honey, like Denmark or Sweden, for that matter, Norway one thousand years ago must have been very difficult to survive in. Remember we used to have the "ættestup" in Norway. ((When mama and papa got to old to contribute to the tribe we used to lead them to the top of a mountain.. and push them gently into the other world) Truly we act a little bit different today but most of us today follow the laws of nature. For better and for worse. Norwegian logic is really slightly different from ordinary human logic. Again; great video. Looking forward to the next one 👍
I am so glad I was in Norway before I went. It was so soft on that island compared to Norway, the climate, everything felt so much less hostile to human life. I bet the vikings thought they had found paradise. I can understand Norwegians having a very strong snese of logic, How else to survive in that beautiful, but immensely challenging country?! Bay as in where the sea goes in a curve? Or as in howling wolves?
@@LaureninGermany Bay as the ocean meets the land in a curve. Or fjord. By the way; the greatest concentration of germanic dna is found in the area of the Oslo fjord. (Norway/Sweden). Just maybe the germanic tribes stem from southern Scandinavia, rathter than from Germany. Maybe thats why germanic tribes allways fought each others. (And everybody else) Over the span of a thousand years things has gotten better. The Vikings was ...not good.
Hi Lauren! I just came upon you by pure chance and you seem very bubbly and excitable. What part of Germany are you from? Even though I am English I was born in Bad Eilsen, Germany, as my parents were in the R.A.F. You look and sound Welsh to me, even though you are called 'Lauren in Germany' Thanks Love, Bob 🥰
Yes, I am Welsh, living in Bavaria, well spotted!
@@LaureninGermany Wow lucky you living there, and seeing the football fun going on in Berlin later today. I just knew you were Welsh. I was in Cardiff 2 weeks ago for the funeral of my brothers wife, who was found collapsed on the lounge floor of their home in St Fagans. Have a great day darling! 🥰
If you want to leave the world, it's not easy, GB.
Leave the world...?
The Brexit was no smart move... To say it friendly... Business wise they made it more complicated than other European countries which are not in the EU...🤓 It was ok until the transition phase ended in 2020. Then it became awful...
I agree... it´s very sad that it happened.
I visited London 3 times, have been to Oxford once and loved them.
I also have friends who live in the UK and for who I feel very sorry for, since they voted for remain.
Before Brex(sh)it, I would've loved to explore more of the UK.
But since the people in the UK voted for Brex(sh)it, I don't feel welcome there anymore, which makes me sad.
The vote for Brex(sh)it is a huge "Stay away!" sign for me.
Honestly, please go and visit. You´ll feel so welcome. The news portrays only an exaggerated, negative image. This makes me so sad, thinking that you don´t feel welcome.
There's this theory that the Brits are planning to widen the Channel😂

Brexit was about leaving the EU bureaucracy, not rejecting Continental Europe and its people.
@@archiebald4717 yes, I know my turn of phrase is inaccurate. I just have always said Europe for EU. I wonder if that‘s a Welsh thing or just me?

The Anglo-Saxon Chronicles show an encounter involving three danish/viking ships at the coast of Wessex in the year 787 and a laird named Beaduheard as prominent casualty. At this time Franks, Danes, Saxons, Thuringians, Frisians etc. were all shitty neighbors and did things like this all the time to each other (e.g. my hometown Halberstadt was founded by Franks around year 800 on conquered saxon land as a diocese most likely on top of the ruins of an older pagan sanctuary), so i guess some minor skirmishes and a few burnt villages at the coast weren't worth the noise. Lindisfarne on the other hand was a really important religious and economical center. The rest is history.
Plus de change plus la meme chose.... the best PR gets you the best publicity...the Church in this case. Yes, I recentyl discovered that the Bavarian tribes pushed out the original Celtic settlers here. Explains a lot about how I feel...
Calling Germany a "shithole"? Sorry, for that y will never see me again
@@bonito34 ach…. I just saw what you’re referring to. Well it wasn‘t me and I‘m not even English. But if you use that as a reason to be rude to me, keep on scrolling when you see my face.
Im Moment ist man wohl als Deutscher oder überhaupt Ausländer
in England nicht so willkommen, wenn man die rechten Ausschreitungen so ansieht.
Was geht da ab? Traurige Situation!
Das habe ich GsD nicht so empfunden.
@@LaureninGermany O.K., kam in den TV Medien so rüber. Mob schrie bei Demo: Ausländer raus. Inzwischen wohl wieder unter Kontrolle durch Polizei usw.💯👍
GsD? 🤔
@@LaureninGermany GsD? Noch nie gehört. Sorry! Inzwischen hat sich die Lage ja wieder beruhigt. Elon Musk (!) spricht sogar von einem Bürgerkrieg in U.K. Dieser Mann ist irgendwie ..., aber lassen wir das.
