Perhaps we should also remember Denis Healey is a founder member of the Bilderberg Group. He once said, "It is a man's right to not work if he chooses, of course he should draw the dole!" When I read this report in Der Spiegel I just knew it would be headlines in the DM and have tagged along hundreds of German hating rants about the war etc etc etc. The problem for all you haters is the German economy is thriving, the health system is thriving, living standards are far higher than in the UK. The transport system works and is punctual and not expensive. The list goes on and on. You might not like what he says but if the Brits worked harder, saved and did not try endlessly to climb an invisible property ladder laden with intolerable levels of debt, we would be in a far better place. Last updated at 8:17 AM on 16th November 2011 Berlin declared last night that Europe is speaking German and Britain must be less selfish toward the EU. The UK has a duty to help the eurozone despite being outside the single currency, according to one of Angela Merkel’s closest allies. Even more provocatively, Volker Kauder warned Britain could not block a financial tax that would cost the City billions. Provocative: Volker Kauder (left) - one of Angela Merkel's closest allies - warned Britain could not block a financial tax that would cost the City billions He insisted it was wrong for London to defend its own interests, adding: ‘Only going after their own benefit, and refusing to contribute, is not the message we’re letting the British get away with.’ He said European nations were speaking German in that they were backing Chancellor Merkel’s diktats. The comments will cause fury among senior Conservatives, who say Germany’s refusal to prop up the euro threatens to drag the UK economy down as well. ‘British people will be horrified by what is going on in Europe,’ said Philip Hollobone, a Eurosceptic Tory MP. ‘Foreign policy going back to the time of Henry VIII has been to try to prevent conglomeration of power on the continent of Europe which would be against British national interests. ‘Here we are in the 21st century with a German attempt to create a single economic and political bloc. This is Britain’s golden chance to get out of the European quagmire and set ourselves free.’ Controversial: David Cameron with Mrs Merkel. The comments will cause fury among senior Conservatives No signs of abating: The economic turmoil in the eurozone continues to cause deep concern Meanwhile, the economic turmoil that has gripped Europe shows no sign of going away. The interest rate Italy has to pay to finance its vast debts topped 7 per cent again yesterday – despite a change that saw a technocratic government replace Silvio Berlusconi’s administration. Such payments are seen as unsustainable and have triggered bailouts in Ireland, Portugal and Greece. Spain was unable to borrow the full £3billion it needed from the money markets yesterday and was charged 5 per cent interest for supposedly risk-free, 12-month loans. Attack: Nick Clegg criticised David Cameron's suggestion that the crisis gave the UK an opportunity to take powers from Brussels The gap between French and German government bond yields reached record levels – revealing fears about Paris’s exposure to debts elsewhere. But Mr Kauder, parliamentary leader of Mrs Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union party, insisted EU governments were backing Germany’s push for closer integration of their economies in response to the turmoil. He said there was now widespread support for strict limits on debt levels in eurozone economies, with sanctions applied to any that step out of line. ‘Now, all of a sudden, Europe is speaking German,’ declared Mr Kauder. ‘Not as a language, but in its acceptance of the instruments for which Angela Merkel has fought so hard.’ He said Britain must be less self-centred in its relationship with Europe. ‘The British are not members of the currency union but they are members of Europe and they also have a responsibility for the success of Europe,’ he told the annual congress of Mrs Merkel’s CDU in Leipzig. On the proposed City financial transactions tax, he said: ‘The British don’t want this and I understand, when 30 per cent of your gross domestic product comes from the financial market business in the City of London.’ The row flared as the pro-EU Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg attacked David Cameron’s suggestion that the crisis gave the UK an opportunity to take powers from Brussels. The Prime Minister used his annual foreign policy speech at the Lord Mayor of London’s banquet on Monday night to insist that the crisis in the eurozone provided an opportunity for the EU be refashioned as a looser union.Europe speaks German now! Controversial claim from Merkel ally that EU countries all follow Berlin's lead - and Britain should fall into line

Read what the Frankfurt School were promoting about the destruction of the system also:-
Just such a core group did, indeed, exist. History identifies a small group of German intellectuals who devised concepts, processes, and action plans which conform very closely to what Americans presently observe every day in their culture. Observations, such as those made in this series of essays, can be directly traced to the work of this core group of intellectuals. They were members of the Frankfurt School, formed in Germany in 1923. They were the forebears of what some proclaim as 'cultural Marxism,' a radical social movement that has transformed American culture. It is more commonly known today as 'political correctness.'
