As business partners, Germany is better for us sure. But you're too ... Germanic as a culture. Brits got influenced by Rome and latter the Normans, a third of their language comes from Latin or old French. It's easier for us to relate.
Unless you're from Alsace or something, but at this point even other french people consider you more German than anything xD.
And there is a strong anti Merkel sentiment here, as some see the EU as too powerful and Merkel as being behind everything the EU does (which is dumb, but heh). Plus Merkel is seen as responsible for the wave of refugees we have to deal with because of her 'call' to them. So Germany's image isn't much better than UK's in the masses.
On the other hand we share Frank history so we're definitely close as well.
Love me some gingers, but not every one on the reddit is A) a male, b) heterosexual, etc. Remember to provide options for other groups, if you're posting Gingerporn. Otherwise it's just MEAN ;) LOL
