  1. Printing money for pandemic payments, competition in the bond markets for record borrowing, supply chain delays, untimely new taxes. Who didn’t expect interest rate rises and/or inflation?
    151
  2. No. Anyone with the slightest intelligence knew it would be the outcome.
    49
  3. Bearing in mind the amount of money every country has had to pump into their economy during the last couple of years of the pandemic (along with drastically reduced tax receipts) one of two things was inevitable: either interest rates increasing as countries compete in the bonds market for a limited supply of money or inflation increases as governments simply print more money. My feeling is we will be seeing both before within the next year.

  4. Bearing in mind he was a POW how did he count them all?

  5.  @laurac2783  80% in hospitals are unvaccinated. 20% of the population is unvaccinated. Simple arithmetic…unvaccinated are sixteen times more likely to be hospitalised than vaccinated.

  6. Well, that's ended the problem in America. When's he going to sort out the rest of the world?
    8
  7. Exports? To the rest of their EU empire? Didn't take long for Germany to forget their wonderful partners.
    8
  8. Meme Bump The UK has the lowest infection and death rate in Europe. I agree - we have to keep you out.
    8
  9. They should have bought it through Brussels. It might arrive by 2023.
    8
  10. Despite the news stories vaccine developments are international collaborative efforts. What the EU is proposing will likely put a stop to this. I fear in the long run Europeans will be the losers as the rest of the world shares their efforts and progresses.
    6
  11. As the world looks ever eastward this is likely to be the story of all European industry. Why the EU is looking for “trade deals” with countries like China is a mystery - the trade is only going to be in one direction.
    5
  12. That’s funny….had mine in cardiff this morning. 🤔
    5
  13. It works better than dying from the infection.
    5
  14. Jason Lukiv You rely on YouTube commenters for information? Wow are you going to have a confused life.
    5
  15. At least the Germans will be happy.
    4
  16. The Ukrainians will sell them to Iran - like they did with soviet nuclear tech.
    4
  17. Can’t we just have one more?
    4
  18. A loose union of 27 different countries bickering, squabbling and manipulating every situation to their advantage, with the US in the background pulling strings, is unreliable? Is he sure?
    4
  19.  @DavidHalverson  Russia is more than self sufficient in food, fuel and strategic materials. I’m not sure if cutting off their supply of iPhones and other Chinese junk will disrupt them to any great extent.
    4
  20. I'm guessing they're not buying it through Brussels.
    4
  21. Germany has always had a fondness for vegans and vegetarians. Their most famous leader was one I believe.
    4
  22. No.
    4
  23. Lol! All cut up for crappy furniture made from sawdust and glue.
    3
  24. Are Germany still refusing to send life saving masks to Italy.
    3
  25.  @deanfielding4411  I agree with you….the anti-vaxxers are the dregs of uneducated society who serve no purpose other than spreading their diseases. They should be locked away and never allowed to breed. And I speak as a humanitarian.

  26. pascal jacob Many parts of the service sector were excluded from the single market to protect the outdated European economy. Good luck with your oompah music!
    3
  27. Never mind...I'm sure Germany will claim to have the lowest number of cases and deaths.
    3
  28. paddy cell No, they want to stockpile it "just in case" and let poorer people who need it die.
    3
  29. Solar Ray So what's your solution?
    3
  30. Tom Thumb try riding your pushbike through northern France and see how quickly their towns and villages are disappearing.
    3
  31. ppepr96 The virus came to the UK from the continent - and European scientists know it. Unfortunately they were too slow to identify it before it spread to Britain and into every other European country.
    3
  32. AstraZeneca is selling their vaccine at cost - no profit. It’s a tenth of the price of other vaccines. Do you understand why there’s so much bad press about it now? Probably not.
    3
  33. Kenneth Phillips The fact it spread through the UK from the channel ports is a clear indication of where it came from. If the French were more vigilant with their testing they'd have identified it six months ago.
    3
  34. Despite the efforts of the European media It seems to most people they’re trying to keep the war going.
    3
  35. Bwe S Does the fact the new variant first appeared at the UK Channel ports not tell you where it came from? All Britain has done is identify a new variant which came here from Europe.
    3
  36. rune jennow You're so wrong it's not even worth trying to correct you.
    3
  37. Waiting for the investigation (not by DW News obviously) into Germany's claimed miraculously low death rate. 😆b
    3
  38. Never mind. I'm pretty sure their claimed death rate will be miraculously low.

  39. 💤

  40. Kit Talon Shhhhh! Don't mention nationalism to Germans. They can be a bit touchy.
    2
  41. 😂
    2
  42. They need some German politicians. So they can lie about the figures better.
    2
  43. XPuntar If I give you a thumbs up will you go away?
    2
  44. doocieonu You might change your mind when the EU finally enforces tax rates across the empire.
    2
  45. I doubt AstraZeneca are too worried. They’re selling their vaccine for no profit - at a tenth of the price of their competitors. Which might explain the bad press being spread.
    2
  46. Germany dodged a bullet when they dumped useless von der Lying on the EU.
    2
  47. Captain Iohannes Killyloris Oh dear! Protectionism rarely gets anything moving - try stagnating.
    2
  48. I would like to know why Germany's figures are such an obvious load of bollocks.
    2
  49. Bainsworth There's a bit of a queue to get out now.....
    2
  50. I can see this encouraging pharmaceutical companies to spend billions on developing new treatments. /s.
    2
  51. It'll all be fine. The pathetic politicians and media will lose interest in a week and let people get on with their lives.
    2
  52. Good idea….now let’s start with gas. Any ideas?
    2
  53. Orpheus I don't have those figures and nor do you. We do agree however the EU is dismally behind the rest of the developed world in developing, manufacturing, distributing and administering covid vaccines. Maybe if it is about price they could have put the lives of their citizens first.
    2
  54. That's it! I'm going out panic buying Mercedes and BMWs.
    2
  55. Actually it was pro-statue against anti-statue. The problem in Britain is that by and large we're now ashamed about our past.
    2
  56. your vaccine was given to you free of charge by AstraVeneca. India did nothing to develop it.
    2
  57. Philipp Wilmer The AstraZeneca vaccine has 99.8. % effectiveness in the trials. The 70% is after just the first dose. Germany has now decided to copy the UK policy of giving just the first dose nationally before giving the second dose. Unfortunately Germany has been very slow getting their vaccine developed, manufactured and distributed - although not as slow as the EU.
    2
  58. Health Decoded With Altaf Fizzy water. Never lets you down.
    2
  59. And I refuse to read any comments.
    2
  60. Gintas Vilkelis The Brussels mafia will be happy with any outcome - their livelihoods are always safe.
    2
  61.  @TeDynef  Dummy
    2
  62. If only we all released figures as miraculously low as Germany.
    2
  63. Actually we never imported CO2 - the problem is high energy prices making production expensive.
    2
  64. For eighteen months? Dream on.
    2
  65. So your answer?
    2
  66. So we can expect more sponsored "uprisings" in Eastern Europe and the caucuses . Belarus first, then Georgia. Obviously the EU will be "encouraged" to join in. I just hope Boris Johnson decides not to get us involved.
    2
  67. Germany refusing to send masks to Italy? Tsk tsk
    2
  68. Is anyone in Europe carrying out any research on newer variants? So far only the UK, Brasil and South Africa have bothered researching.
    2
  69. 😂😂😂😂 of course he did
    2
  70. Matt W You sort of ended up arguing with yourself there.
    2
  71. Although the fact it was first discovered at channel ports makes it quite clear how it got into Britain.
    2
  72. Japan entry bans from "most of Europe" means from everywhere but the UK.
    1
  73. You mean Germany will invade Poland again?
    1
  74. You can read?
    1
  75. You sound like a convincing McLaren. You likee Engrish language prenty?
    1
  76. I don't think Germany needs to worry. They'll just issue more unbelievably good figures.
    1
  77. Every DW News item seems to be a puff piece for the German state. Nice that the spirit of Goebels lives on.
    1
  78. Fool.
    1
  79. A_Socialist_Channel Errrr...they have been. And still are.
    1
  80. Germany demanding reparations. The irony.
    1
  81. Kit Talon They said it was too early to tell. And it still is. Nice lying though.
    1
  82. Does france want to bankrupt eu farmers?
    1
  83. Carin Wiseman That'll work! 😅
    1
  84. Obviously. Watch interest rates!
    1
  85. All you’re demonstrating is your selfish irresponsibility towards society as a whole. Every vaccine ever produced has been to safeguard the community - not just you.
    1
  86. Everyone knows he wants half of the Ukraine for access to the Crimea. Everyone knows he’ll get it then back to business as usual.
    1
  87. The “British assurance” was that if Germany invaded Poland Britain would declare war on Germany. Which it did.
    1
  88. This report and comment section suggest the English are the juden of the new EUReich.
    1
  89. Jen Learn Only facist media report what's happening in the US?
    1
  90. Alternatively; what is wrong with German politicians?
    1
  91. The best way to prevent further conflict would be for the EU to just keep quiet and leave it to the grown ups.
    1
  92. swanpride What's your alternative then?
    1
  93. Just Some Guy We've never cured smallpox either. What's your point?
    1
  94. Let's hope China doesn't block supplies of covid vaccines to the eu. They're getting quite desperate in Europe.
    1
  95. Dummy
    1
  96. DW News. Germany is the best.
    1
  97. The police the are acting like the gestapo. Oh...sorry.
    1
  98. The first sensible comment here.
    1
  99. TheShreester You're absolutely right. Unfortunately a lot of people are simply too dense to realise this must be the ultimate goal and believe if we all lock ourselves away for a few weeks the virus will just go away.
    1
  100. Jeff Huang What alternative measures? There are none I've heard of.
    1
  101. A failure and a crook - so Germany makes her Europe's problem.
    1
  102. Good luck Europe. Britain will be staying out of it this time. Popcorn anyone?
    1
  103. How do you propose "stopping people getting infected?"
    1
  104. Nearly as many protesters as in Washington after the perfectly fair election there.
    1
  105. Yes, we’re all dying here…🙄
    1
  106. Nonsense item. People are ignorant of the size of the covid virus. 1cc of the virus is enough to infect the entire population of the world.
    1
  107. Avoid war?
    1
  108. The EU's "concern" for their citizens is actually dismay that so many EU states are buying their own supplies and getting far better deals than Brussels did. Big isn't always better.
    1
  109. Lebensraum?
    1
  110. Mark Morales it won't surpass all of Europe, will it? And herd immunity is accepted not as a "goal" but the only logical end result of any contagious dangerous infection - hopefully. Which is why, not just Boris Johnson, but every European leader had said as much over the last few months.
    1
  111. Eljan Rimsa That's every European country. Luckily in the UK we are checking new variants as they enter.
    1
  112. DW News - Merkel's mouthpiece.
    1
  113. 😂😂😂😂😂
    1
  114. Ivermectin is being blamed for causing this new variant. I’d stay away from it.
    1
  115. Germany rejoicing in others' misfortunes whilst overlooking their own government's massaged figures.
    1
  116. Inflation is nothing to do with “scarcity of goods” but rather oversupply of currency. The two are quite separate.
    1
  117. Christmas at risk! What a knob.
    1
  118. John nohobear So the old and sick should be locked away until they die. Good plan.
    1
  119. DW criticises every country in the world except Germany - which is always marvellous. Very Germanic.
    1
  120. Not exactly a theory is it?

  121. Brandon Higdon Pillock
    1
  122. He sounds like a right tosser.
    1
  123. How is data obtained?
    1
  124. Nearly as many as Europe.
    1
  125. Matthew Roth Ok.
    1
  126. geotubar Not when based on an incorrect premise.
    1
  127. I “invested” in him and he stole all my money.
    1
  128. Brussels will be most unhappy. They were just getting ready for more sanctions now Biden's in charge.
    1
  129. w surfer I'm sure your command will be considered.
    1
  130. marioreds So is your middle ground letting them all in? keeping them out? Letting some of them in?
    1
  131.  @sten260  How much “stuff” can you buy with your imaginary gold coin?
    1
  132. Sun Seeker how do you "write off" government borrowing"
    1
  133. John Rutter The conservative government never wanted us to leave. Nor did Labour or the LibDems or the people with all the money. They made a mistake allowing the little people to decide for themselves. I doubt they'll ever be allowed the same chance again.
    1
  134. I'm certainly not happy that my taxes may pay for the psychiatrist you obviously need.
    1
  135. What has all that bigoted bile got to do with Dresden?
    1
  136. Gas Axe No they're not.
    1
  137. Lily Rose Soul007 How long do you think you'll have to hide away before the virus disappears?
    1
  138.  @Hey-uj3ee  Unfortunately it’s the biggest single market for junk - with no or little strategic resources of its own. Something Russia has an abundance of.
    1
  139. Not really.
    1
  140. How's that German r-rate looking?
    1
  141. edmund price 😂
    1
  142. The latest poll shows 81% of poles support their government’s stance against the EU courts.
    1
  143. Buddy That'll need another few years of secret meetings and several thousand speeches in the EU parliament.
    1
  144. Starmer needs help to tear off a sheet of bog paper. The thought of him actually doing anything of worth is ridiculous.
    1
  145. Niamh Does the fact the "new variant" first appeared in the channel port towns not make you wonder where the new variant got into the uk? Fortunately we identified it quickly. If Europeans were as vigilant this would have been identified months ago but just another failing like their pathetic vaccine program.
    1
  146. Daily Dose of Medicine The issue is as Germany is an advanced country why are South Africa and Basil identifying variants first?
    1
  147. Don’t worry about it - it’s obviously over-taxing your brain.
    1
  148. Blood Angel More ridiculous is testing everyone, everyday when the best test available has only 80% reliability.
    1
  149. I find it strange DW news never questions the ludicrous figures released by the German government.
    1
  150. Rob Harris And he was absolutely right. They're still waiting.
    1
  151. The truth will only be known when the various countries release total number of deaths in 2020 for comparison with previous years. The minute this virus became political some countries claimed death rates that were unbelievably wunderbar.
    1
  152. Lol. That’s likely to be a success.
    1
  153. Who calls it that?
    1
  154. Who calls it that?
    1
  155. Who calls it that?
    1
  156. Governments all over the world are really benefitting from the lockdown of course. /s
    1
  157. He should have come to Germany. They have almost unbelievably low covid deaths.
    1
  158. Goblin That's pretty much what capitalism is. There's no money in suffering.
    1
  159. Ripvanwinkle 😂
    1
  160. I’m not a Trump lover but I’ll stick my neck out and say this woman is being dishonest by suggesting war was more likely if he was still in power. I base this on the fact Trump is NOT in power and we’re on the brink of a war that Biden seems to be pushing.
    1
  161. Maha lak Because they're useless politicians more concerned about their own well being than they are people who pay their wages.
    1
  162. All results from an obsessive ambition to make Turkey “great.” It isn’t great and is unlikely to ever become so.
    1
  163. So is Germany.
    1
  164. Germany complaining about the contract they signed just last year.
    1
  165. Any protests in Germany? I've seen them on other channels but never here.
    1
  166. Well if it brings peace to the area I’m all for it. They’ve been fighting for eight years.
    1
  167. If you really want to see what not to do take a look at Germany.
    1
  168. Eliminated? Somewhat fanciful.
    1
  169. If the Europeans put in some effort into checking the virus genomes they'd know it's been there for six months. Along with two thousand other variants. It was an import into the uk which is why it spread from the channel ports.
    1
  170. I think that’s been done. A few million times.
    1
  171. Martin King Canada is in the process of becoming a toilet.
    1
  172. There should be a referendum on whether anti-vaxxers should be jailed. As everyone commenting here says - that’s democracy.
    1
  173. Fortunately your comment will generate quite a bit of laughter, helping relieve that stress. Now none of us will get covid.
    1
  174. P L Is that still around?
    1
  175. Germany's figures are about as honest as China's.
