Anti-German feeling being on the increase in Europe isn't exactly a recipe for the harmonious EU we've all been sold along the way is it. Rightly or wrongly, if the common and growing perception is that the Germans are forcing unacceptable levels of austerity on people in S. Europe, this cannot bode well for the future and I reckon this will not be forgotten in a hurry. Let's just hope the resentment we've seen in recent times doesn't continue to simmer away and result in conditions ripe for extremists of one sort or another to flourish. It's been happening in Greece and there's no sign of an end to the austerity at the root of it.
