„Few years ago when the Berlin Wall came down there was a general sense of rejoicing throughout the world. I’ve been of course a gloomy chap and the sole exception. \u00a0\u2026.“<\/em><\/p>\n

Vor ein paar Jahren, als die Berliner Mauer fiel, herrschte in der ganzen Welt ein allgemeines Gef\u00fchl der Freude. Ich war nat\u00fcrlich ein d\u00fcsterer Kerl und die einzige Ausnahme.<\/p>\n
