I'll leave John W the opportunity to tell you just how creaky Germany can be. Certainly their road infra-structure isn't all it's cracked up to be. Traffic jams, a large majority of the motorway system only 4-lane instead of 6 and some pretty crumbly B roads. Germany has a perceived veneer of perfect German-ness, but the truth is a little less than perfect.
And their society is looking a bit wonky. Unemployment rates have been pretty high for a long time and it's probably an inbuilt sense of order that keeps serious rioting down. Or maybe there is major street action that just isn't worth reporting here?

Thatcher will go on and on and on.
