    Heads ought to roll, really. It makes Germany look naïve and foolish.
    Heads won't roll; that's not the German way any more (thankfully, for those of us living in neighbouring countries). No, some people will be given inflated job titles in provincial towns and a few others might be given very generous early pension settlements.

      I wouldn't jump to conclusions, how do you know the German intelligence agencies didn't know? Just because it has been published in a UK rag, and is still only speculation, doesn't make it true, or does it? As every fule kno, believing the media make you a Mail reader...
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        I don't buy papers (or read them) but I did get the Windy Indy today purely for that scoop. On the basis that rags don't always lie, they do seem to have got some genuine news for a change.
        Hard Brexit now!

          British Ambassador has been summoned to German Foreign Office in Berlin.

          Mind you the Germans do have history for needing to be watched! :nazi:

            I would be amazed if all countries were not spying on each other, or at least trying to.

              That goes without saying.

              Spying and getting caught or being proved to have spied are completely different things.
