German students on East Lancashire exchange visit
11:00pm Wednesday 10th October 2012 in News
BURNLEY high school Sir John Thursby welcomed 28 students, and two staff, from its German partner school, Georg-August-Zinn-Schule, in Kassel.
The German students have been in regular contact with their penpals, now in Year 11, for the last three years.
A week of activities included a welcome meal at Aroma Asian Restaurant, in Burnley, time in school including England v Germany football and netball matches, and visits to Aircelle and Burnley FC.
The German students, and five representatives from the school, also met the Mayor and Mayoress of Burnley, at the town hall, where they gave speeches celebrating the partnership.
The students ended their week in East Lancashire with a fish and chip meal.

How long before we have Mangey Angie Merkel telling us how much food we can't have to feed our kids..? Did you see what the Germans have done to the Greeks and the termoil they have caused in Spain with their no go Euro. German Chancellor Angela Merkel on her visit to Greece tried to assure recession-racked Greeks that she understood their suffering but encouraged them not to abandon the road of austerity and painful spending cuts. PEOPLE ARE KILLING THEMSELVES Tens of thousands of demonstrators defied a ban on protests, gathering in Syntagma Square to voice their displeasure with the German leader, whom many blame for forcing painful cuts on Greece in exchange for two EU-IMF bailout packages worth over 200 billion euros.
Spain’s police state has spiraled out of control as riot police are now running throughout the streets beating everyone in sight, men and woman, young and old.
When the people demand democracy from an oligarchy that rules their subjects trough the strong-arm of a totalitarian police state the streets fill with the madness and mayhem seen in the streets of Spain.
Since September 25th the masses of Spain, no longer being able to feed themselves or their families, have risen up against the oligarchy to protest further budget cuts and massive tax increases a situation so dire it threatens their very survival.
While the masses suffer those the poor are being robbed yet again to bail out the rich.
The overlords have no sympathy for the less fortunate and instead of forcing the bankers to take the loses on their investments the ruling class remains disconnected from the reality of millions.
The unrest has spans across Europe into several nations being forced the pinch out the masses by globalist regulatory bodies claiming nations need to get their fiscal house in order
But as we have seen in every previous past crash situations such as these are used as nothing more than excuse to help the rich reduce their own tax burden and the operating costs of the corporations they run.
Yet this time around the downward spiral only continues to self-perpetuate and deepen as the funds collected with each passing austerity cut are spent funding yet another bankster bailout which acts as nothing more than a band-aid on a hemorrhaging gashes of a collapsing economic system that has struck with a self-inflicted mortal wound delivered by a trifecta of rapacious greed, rampant fraud and unbearable corruption.
Soon the Americans will face the same fate as its own financial house is much worse than that of Spain and instead of blaming the trillions wasted on implementing an Orwellian control totalitarian police state complete with kidnapping, tortures, assassinations and the mass murder of millions in illegal overseas wars the bullseye will be aimed directly at the middle class when they are already suffering through one of the worst economic crisises in the history of their nation.
Their politicians seem to be so utterly incompetent they can accomplish nothing besides lining their own pockets with money but they are world-renowned experts at kicking the can down road.
Come this January the Fiscal cliff will be staring them in the face and they may find when they try kicking the can this time it just won’t move.If that happens then America will face its first of several rounds of across the board Austerity cuts and feel for the first time pain of the bite that has bitten the people of Europe repeatedly over the last several years.
With many Americans already so-inclined to take their grievances out into the streets they will certainly do so in solidarity with our brothers and sisters overseas.
As we have seen with the Occupy movement even nonviolent mass protests have been met with the authoritarian fist of the Oligarchy’s army of mercenaries so we can be rest assured when those numbers swell into the millions, as they have in Spain and several other European nations, the response the police state will be just as brutal.
Brace yourself America as your streets may soon resemble those in Spain where a rampantly brutal and out control police is acting swiftly to crush any popular resistance to Global cabal.
I can imagine just what Church street would look like with the storm troopers in their G4S uniforms and jack boots marching the poor unemployed disabled and none conformers off to the re-education camps. AGAIN...
It's a story about a kids visit to this country not a detailed account of the Nazi occupation of Europe.

Another sheeple who can't see past the satuday afternoon football results..We can afford to have student exchange programmes with Germany yet we can't afford to feed our fellow Europeans in Spain. Hope you understand now Harry no need to call people names just because you can't keep up lad.

I'm assuming you never went to school otherwise you'd know that parents of these kids fund the trips. And as seen as it's their money I think they're entitled to spend it how they see fit. I earn my own money and if I wanted to I'd spend it on a swimming pool full of blamonge and faberge eggs if I liked.
Starving Spanish ? I can't remember the last time I saw a spaniard on Sky news with no clothes, a pot belly and flies buzzing around his head can you?
Stop sniffing brasso mate and have a word with yourself.

What's that gotta do with the price of fish?
I have been to Greece many times and seen the inefficiency and illogical way the country is run. They lived beyond their means and need a wake-up call.
As for Spain, one word - siesta.
No wonder the Germans - who rebuilt their country from the ruin of WW2 - are telling them to sort their you-know-what out.
I hope the students have a fantastic time and leave with great memories of the UK and our area.
GOOD ON EM
