A new note in the old refrain: die Deutschen sterben aus (Germans are dying out), the wanted thread, of course, being German ancestry.
But we colonials, I guess we're not quite there yet, civilisationwise. A dose of Olde Blood, any old blood, will do us darkies good.
How fascists do reveal themselves! -- and, plus ça change, fer chrissake, plus c'est la même chose.
Enough to make the blood run cold.
