Well, finally someone in politics admits "It just doesn't work" the happy marriage of working together and living side by side is all but a pipe dream

I have to disagree.
I was pretty shocked at Chancellor Merkel's unhelpful comments when the story broke but it makes perfect sense - there is a huge (and I mean HUGE) level of anti-immigration sentiment in Germany at the moment (something like 30% of Germans believe the country is overrun with foreigners) so it's no real surprise that Mrs Merkel should try and curry favour with such a large proportion of voters.
At a time when other EU governments are trying to encourage the free movement of labour, Mrs Merkel's comments are quite unwelcome.

So true and I am not happy about it when I heard it.
