As long as we are on the subject of Queens, the German entertainer and talkshow host Harald Schmidt has a memorable quote in Sunday's Die Welt (p.2) on demands that Joschka Fischer, German Vice-Chancellor, Foreign Minister and guiding light of the German Green Party, step down for allegedly knowingly tolerating illegal Schengen Visa abuses which have enabled prostitution and human trafficking:
"Without Joschka Fischer the Greens are like Queen without Freddie Mercury."
["Ohne Joschka Fischer sind die Grünen wie Queen ohne Freddie Mercury."]
