"The
chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, has declared
multiculturalism in the country a complete failure.
This can only mean she desires a turn to
monoculturalism. This culture, as the CSU's Herr
Seehoffer has helpfully explained, is something
called
die Leitkultur.
Lovely word. I like the way it sounds. But I'm damned if I know what it means. At least not exactly. And my German friends are no help. They just roll their eyeballs when I ask them."
