Are African safaris really suitable for children?
ByNBGcool
I've recently started watching a lot of safari videos from the African savannah. I find it fascinating how nature is there and how the cycle of life is so evident in nature. I often come across very brutal videos in which wildebeest, antelope, buffalo, warthogs, etc. are killed by predators like lions, wild dogs, and…

On Saturday, the last nuclear power plants in Germany will be shut down. Merkel and the Greens decided this at the time.
Most British (not only English) personally had absolutely GAR NOTS of having an empire. They were allowed to serve as cannon feed there at most;

For quite a long time, the Members of the British Parliament seem to have the impression that they do not know what they want: out of the EU, with treaty, without treaty, postponement of exit – perhaps a second referendum – or rather not?
If you follow British Germanist Nicholas Boyle, Brexit is the result of a crisis of English identity, because there has been no working up of the imperial past and identity is still fed by English nationalism and the ideas of Britishness and British exceptionalism. “With these constructs, the English people were able to convince other nations on the British Isles, the whalers, gravel and Irish, or Northern Ireland to participate in the construction of the British world.”

I like the British and their partly strange marotts… Brexit was the dumbest of all ideas
Yes just meaningless
The British Empire was huge, it comprised a quarter of the world and was home to about 1 billion people. You were very proud to rule over so many countries. In addition, it meant great financial disadvantages if one could no longer exploit foreign countries.
