Frauen und Männer, This is your Bundestag bad-ass Angela Merkel here. I know that times have been tight, with the economy not doing what I told it, Frāncē mispronouncing their macrons, and all the sideknobs ripping off of your Schwalbe Muddy (Theresa) May. But with judicious efficiency and overbearing organisation, we can still have fun for only a few Euro. So I bring you the Angela Merkel Austerity Enduro.
