Germany : C'mon UK, all the EU is is a multi-nation trade agreement that also makes traveling between nations easier and has members use one currency. *12 years later* Germany : If you don't accept 500,00 muslim immigrants who don't speak the language, have no education, practice a religion that goes against most of the values you hold dear, will ALL require government assistance, and have shown a shocking propensity towards violence, we will levy massive sanctions on you and call you a bunch of racists on the international stage.

@@lfcmike12 German censorship laws are very lenient and the ones we do have are seldom enforced. Admittedly we have a few extremely outdated censorship laws dating back to the Bismarck era which need some revision but free speech isn't an issue in Germany. Unfortunately we also do allow misinformation to be spread by people who exploit others for personal gain and seldom punish it but that's a side effect of being a free country and I wouldn't want it any other way.
