Oh bit they did! They sent a retired soldier to Rhineland-Palatinate to bother locals and not go to any pubs!

Honestly!!! If this is what it entails, why am I not on the beat??

Yeah he mentions that but makes no real comparison and says all he saw there was donner places and betting shops (gambling is haram??) I hope he was bored and rained on

A British army officer lamenting the antifascism of Germany. Saying the country has gone soft. Literally wtf

I know but I absolutely cannot believe this level of red-eyed port-hangover bullshit

"I was in a war so I noticed a lot of brown people knocking about" is an absolutely bananas thing to publish in a national newspaper

"As a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, I couldn’t help but be struck by all of this – along with all the Arabic spoken and the As-Salaam-Alaikum greetings"

It's absolutely WILD that someone who was IN THE ARMY is saying Germany should be more right wing

I particularly enjoy the part where the writer describes talking to a young german about "soon 60% of you will be wearing hijabs" and the young German clearly believes the writer to be insane

Apparently there are no pubs in Worms, a very oddly specific place to visit since it is a) tiny and b) nobody really knows where it is so you could say fucking anything a about it. Luckily I have been, because of course I have. And this man is talking bollocks.

Inov-8 Mudtalon, they are equal parts aggressive and squishy so work perfectly on mud and gravel/paved roads, and I was up and around Pendle with them!
