Germany and all European countries want open borders and free movement of people

How come now they’re reverting to protecting their own people and closing borders

Just find that so annoying that they claim to be pro EU but the minute there’s a problem they all revert to protecting their own individual countries and shutting borders

Hypocrisy at its finest

So far its been a st-show from the EU, this should have been a coordinated response yet each country is all over the place with their own measures. A lot of knee jerk reactions happening.

Germany are now saying they want to protect their people

The idea of an EU and free movement has now gone up in smoke

I get why but you can’t pretend to be all for free movement and then when there’s an issue revert to your own agenda

Why not?

Think about what you are saying.

Don't be silly - It's much more nuanced than that.
Germany has plenty of EU sceptics (just not as many as the UK) so it's always about a balance of what is good for the country vs the aspirations of European cohesion.
Germany isn't dictating to YOU how you should live your life, so what on earth annoys you so much actually?

And by the way, the borders AREN'T closed, they are open for goods and commuters, and controlled for other types of traffic.

In a quagmire of pigst thick posts about the EU over many years by many people on PH both pro and con this is without doubt the most ineptly crafted, fetid piece of stinking excrement yet.

Congratulations.

I think your post is irrelevancy at its finest.

Wouldnt expect less from our resident 10th iteration character remainer.

Its a great post. The EU has shown they cannot coordinate on this, the mere fact that borders are in place to prevent foreigners entering certain states shows this is race selection and treatment. If you are closing a boarder, you dont say its closed to anyone but our folk ffs.

Have you not heard the news? About the virus thingy? Or has your head been too far up your backside to notice?

How did you manage to spell a word correctly in one sentence, and get it wrong in the next? And what have apostrophes done wrong?

Probably a cut n paste job from a ranty anti-EU site. Another poster who seems to have missed the fact that 'they won' and still feels the need to continue the propaganda.

Will the OP respond to defend his position? Surely if he is so annoyed about this he should do.
