History doesn't matter enough for you? All the people who died at the death camps not relevant enough?

It was clear how many were involved at 12pm, 2pm and 4pm no coverage then :/

I hardly think the gov or press have much influence over Google hits. it was covered on the radio, BBC, ITV, Sky, that's fairly extensive coverage, what more are you expecting, scenes projected onto every street in the country?

No need to get churlish, at the time I was attempting to access information there was very little, until early evening.

So would I but I think some just want to complain about 'the establishment' without any real substance on his particular subject.

No need to get personal and start name calling.

Agreed, however I am able to understand that Germany is not the only country to have had a period for which they are ashamed.

Most countries have a period of which they should be ashamed, though you did begin by complaining about doing business with China.

If we didn't do business with anyone who had questionable practices now or in the past, we wouldn't do business with anyone. That doesn't make it right but that's the problem with tossing a stone or two.

No I was admonishing you for calling me churlish. That is against the forum rules as it's personal.

Thanks for the debate, it was fun.

I am more interested in the present than the past however your issues with Germany are from almost 100yrs ago, therefore not quite as relevant as the human rights violations of today. That's the difference.

Then don't, I found the tone of your post rude, there is nothing in the rules that prohibits me informing you of that.

You can say I think that is rude. You can't say you are this or that. Them's the rules.
