A NUMBER OF carolers made the trip to Berlin today to sing during a reception at the chancellery.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel didn’t seem too enamoured by the kids though. (Although one was in blackface, so maybe it was understandable).

They’re “Star singers”, representing the Magi who are supposed to have visited the baby Jesus. That’s why some of them are in blackface, since they’re said to have come from the East. Groups of Star singers go from house to house in Germany and Austria at this time of year, and sing traditional carols.
It comcerns me with the number of red thumbs down when an anti goverment message is s posted. I have also checked some of the pro government responses and alot are newly created twitter accounts which post on goverment comments.
I think FG are patrolling the comments and are thumbs down on anything anti government.
Just not adding up so many are pro goverment. Irish people are not that thick to see there doing a crap job.

I think you should read the Business section of the Irish Times today. They wouldn’t agree with you at all. We have a Government who have taken all of the unpopular and tough decisions to restore our economic sovereignty and all of the current data is beginning to look positive . Having lived through the seventies and eighties and been an emigrant in that period we have never plumbed those depths.
@ Michael …you are seriously deluded by government propaganda. This country is far from been out of the woods. We have a few elephants in the room .
Wait until mortgage interest releif starts rising alot and this country is in more crap again as defaulting will go through the roof.
Wait until the pension s problem cripples us too.
Wait until there is another dip recession and exports go down the toilet more job losses and taxes will increase.
Wait until America stops its companies running its profits through tax havens like ireland.
Dont be deluded for one second by government propaganda. Wake the hell up.
why do idiots like you always make this about the government? not sure why a German girl had her face blacked up but surely that’s the point of the story????? idiots like your good self are what is sucking the life out of this country cause no matter what the story or conversation its always about the government. give it a rest for god sake!!
Fecking brilliant!! Angela mustnt be an always sunny fan.
Yea well my daddy is a partner in kpmg
Blacked up faces? Seriously? In this day and age?
Angela merkel is not Irish neither is kenny in thought anyway his politics are submissive
We are a rebellious people that lost our way and we are leaderless ,our unions are useless
The man to save us will come from cork who will he be
Irish and in no way consider myself European.you must be part of the present troika of traitors supporters in Dáil Éireann eg FG/FF/LAB who consider themselves European whenever EU treaties are pursued.remove all traitors from echelons of Irish society.
