Crosscuts by Jürgen Becker

Cologne - In the opening speech, right to dare foreign journalists at the Haymarket, and asked her ears not surprised: What the man believes there for a speech?
The man was Jürgen Becker - kölsch usual, accustomed biting. The comedian was the question of why the right wing want to deploy just always in cosmopolitan Cologne. So far, so imagine the East the focus of neo-Nazi activities.
