Figgy, when Merkel started, Germany had about five Food Banks in the entire country. Today Germany has over 1200 Food Banks. Child poverty is worse than in Britain and pensioner poverty is something that Germans have become accustomed to. Yet her government says that things were never as great and people were never so well off in Germany, as they are today. Well, here my childhood experience:
Dad worked full time, mum from home as a seamstress, because she wanted, not because she had to. We were four children. We had our own house, two cars, went on holiday twice a year. When I moved out, I opened the local newspaper, ticked five of the flats to rent I was interested in and moved in the same evening. Today Germany is short of approximately 5 million units of accommodation. After having taken in around 1.7 million under 'wir schaffen das' in one month in 2015 the amounts of migrants have now gone done to about 400 per DAY only ;-)
