The news coverage I seen showed protesters doing the Nazi salute which is suppose to be banned in Germany. The openly were saying that Jews were the major problem and when they interviewed a top German offical he also said we are now having a big problem with the rise of nazi groups. 

So unless CNN somehow managed to change the words of what came out of these peoples mouths I'll go with CNN. And by the way the are called the extreme right over there like they are in the States.

Maybe some left winger shot all those pictures in Germany and then dubbed the words over for all the speakers like Fox news would have done. And if someone did a Nazi salute here at a football game the person doing it would hope security got to him first before the rest of the stadium did. It would not be looked on lightly here.

There is an awful difference between a wave or even a high 5 that the Nazi salute Major. You are grasping at straws now.

A wave is usually with a loosely cupped hand like the Queen waves. The fingers and hand aren't kept together and straight and the arm extended up at a 40 degree angle like the Nazi's did it. It was really a drill movement for the lower ranks but you see in the moves that officers seemed to be doing more what a traffic cop would do to stop traffic. 

The nazi salute looks nothing like a simple wave to friends and family.

I was at the football match yesterday and 5000 of our fans were singing... who's that shit, who's that shit, who's that shit that's over there, who's that shit thats over there? As they did they all raised their arms and pointed simultaneously to the opposing fans. I could quite easily have taken a photo of that and it would look for all the world like a nazi rally. British football fans are a rowdy bunch at the best of times. They take on that mob mentality and are lead astray very easily.  Your not one of those types are you Major. Are you allowed booze at the games?

Geez Pete, you're a right sanctimonious sod at times, were you ever young?

I was never allowed to be young Major. I joined the military and was in basic training one month after I turned 17. The whole time while serving you are told and expected to be an ambassador for your country especially when in someone elses Country. So you walk softly and don't say shit even if you have a mouth full of it. I lived a very controled life. I have attended foreign embassey parties and rubbed shoulders with their diplomates. At these gathering there are 3 things you never talk about, religion, politics and how pretty their wifes are even if you are cornered and asked to dance with one who seems a little over frisky. So that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it. The sanctimonious talk I do is to get a rise and a smile and hopfully a reply and it seems to be working.

Rugby is played in Canada but not at the level Britains play it. We even had a Rugby team when I was stationed in Germany that played other teams in the Brigade including British ones. You don't really see cricket played her anymore.

Soccer is getting more popular since all the foreigners started showing up. The Italians and Portugese seem especially keen on it.

A silly girlie game anyway Major with all that hugging and touching going on in public.

My chiropractor played rugby in college & he informed me there is two 40 minute halves & is you have to sub you are out of the game.

I'm not really into rugby, but if you are substituted you are out for the rest of the match. A player can go off for brief medical treatment and come back on though, also a player can be "sin-binned" for ten minutes.

In dhimmi Canada an interesting case has arisen. A Christian by the name of John Alabi rented out his home to a muslim family and when he visited his property he refused to take his shoes off when entering. The muslims have taken him to court and been awarded a considerable amount, in the thousands, as compensation and get this, John is black! So we now know who tops the sacred cow league eh? The law state that a persons home is considered their castle and you have to give them at least 24 hours written notice to enter a rental property. You can get in sooner in the case of an emergency. It is only considered common courtesy to remove your boots or shoes when entering anyones place especially in the winter months here for obvious reasons. Workers to get around this bring their own hospital operating style foot covers that go over their outdoor wear. I was a landlord for 16 years Major and when I had to go into a tenants apartment to do any work I would remove my street shoes and put on a pair of bedroom slippers. It really comes down to respecting your tenants who shouldn't have clean their floors or rugs everytime after the landlord has made a visit. If the tenant is removing their outer footwear then there is no reason why the landlord shouldn't remove or replace their's. Has nothing to do with what religion a person is if they prefer clean floors.

Here's one of those nazis pete
