R I P Helmut Kohl (87)

[Cyril Haearn]

One of the most important politicians of our time has died

By doing the right things at the right times he secured Europe and the introduction of the €. Maastricht Treaty, +1!

His actions changed and improved the lives of millions including me

I think we can learn from looking back and looking f o r w a r d 27 years. It could have easily turned out much worse after 1989*

Corbyn could be the new Kohl, I think

Corby has moved on from Kohl, so I was taught in my GCSE Geography lessons.
Merkel is the true heir of the man, so it is not like he has gone away.

[Cyril Haearn]

There has been talk of renaming streets after HK but not much has happened

Apparently there is increasing scepticism towards elites

[reohn2]

There's a dead end street called BoJo Back alley,and he's not dead yet!

[Tangled Metal]

Kohl was possibly one of the first world leaders to be shafted by Merkel! Now that's not a good thing.

Helmut Kohl was an iconic figure in German politics for so long. RIP
