The number of migrants arriving on the Greek islands near Turkey has surged to about 7,000 a day in the past week, migration experts working there say.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) said the average in late September was 4,500 a day.

Gabrielle Keller is the second woman to be moved to make way for Germany’s self-inflicted invasion of migrants, following the case of Bettina Halbey, a 51-year-old nurse who was shifted from her home in Nieheim in the country’s north.

“I think it’s a scandal to throw tenants out of their apartments,” she said. “I can’t see the sense of it.”

Keller has lived in the same, government-owned, three-story house for 16 years, and brought up her two sons as a single mother in the 90 sq/m apartment. On September 1, she and her neighbours received an eviction notice. In the notice, the local municipality explained that it is going to use the rental house as additional accommodation for refugees because the town’s three shelters have filled up.

Well there's no way this is going to stir up resentment is there?... :rolleyes:

Sooner or later someone will top themselves because they're being evicted or something and then that'll occupy the airwaves as the media descends en masse expecting a backlash to report on and raising all the inevitable and entirely foreseeable consequences of this madness.

I sometimes wonder if the people running the show are for real - are they totally stupid or is all this part of some grand sinister scheme intended to result in chaos 'requiring' drastic measures to control, thereby providing the chosen 'elite' with the opportunity to protect themselves and their lifestyles forever at the expense of us and ours. Seems far-fetched I'll grant you but, could so many people really be so stupid? If they are there's precious little hope for us anyway surely... :erm:

manhunt of six Afghan illegal immigrants.......who shot at a farm worker in the West Midlands earlier this week has been called off after just 36 unsuccessful hours

Quote:

a farm labourer happened upon the group of suspicious-looking men in a barn near Keele in Staffordshire, in England’s West Midlands. The man followed the group in his vehicle after they left the barn, but they shot at him as they tried to get away, missing him but striking his vehicle on a window...
....The disappearance of the gang may be seen as a major blunder for the force, considering the shooting took place only hours after officers were initially alerted to their presence, as they climbed out of the back of a Hungarian lorry at the nearby M6 motorway services.

If people started posting articles from the Socialist Worker or videos from this guy then I imagine people would also be inclined not to trust it.

People do find it easier to just dismiss sources they don't trust. I would be surprised if you don't see something and distrust it from experience. I don't trust Michael Moore films as they have a frequent habit of misleading and I don't have the time to check each citation or fact to see if it's true. We all have to rely on trusting a source to an extent which is why we often dismiss sources we don't trust.

Might be better to link to the local paper they sourced the story from: http://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/UPDAT...ail/story.html

Lots of casually dressed, smiley very middle-class Germans - some with children, others with dogs, chatting animatedly in beautiful parkland on the outskirts of Hamburg on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

But this was indeed a protest group, putting together a petition in an attempt to stop a new refugee centre being built on the green.

People here were keen to emphasise that they were not anti-immigrant. Their main aim, they said, was to protect an area of natural beauty. But once we got talking, broader worries soon surfaced.

Birgit said finding a home was difficult enough for Germans. Hamburg has an acute housing shortage at the best of times. With the arrival of tens of thousands of immigrants, the port city threatened to burst at the seams.

In desperation, the authorities have been turning shipping containers into refugee homes and repossessing empty commercial properties and open spaces to build new migrant centres.

"I don't think Angela Merkel has any idea what she started," Birgit concluded.

Hanno kept shaking his head when he said, "I just don't think Germany can integrate this number of people. It's a real worry. A real worry."

This was no demonstration of the minority anti-immigrant far right in Germany, so adept at grabbing headlines.

These were Angela Merkel's core voters: the comfortable middle classes. Now plagued by doubt and insecurity.

Migrants have begun arriving in Slovenia by bus from Croatia, after Hungary shut its border with Croatia to try to stem the numbers arriving en route to western Europe.

Hungary closed its frontier, reinforced with a razor-wire fence, at midnight local on Friday.

Many of the migrants aim to continue north to Austria and Germany.

Earlier EU leaders failed to agree a plan backed by Hungary to send a force to prevent migrants reaching Greece.

The number of people living in makeshift camps outside the French port of Calais has doubled to 6,000, a French government official has said.

Fabienne Buccio told Reuters news agency this was partly due to tighter security measures hindering migrants' efforts to cross the Channel.

The Pas-de-Calais department prefect warned other migrants to stay away.

Two migrants believed to be trying to reach the UK from Calais have been killed in the past week.

A total of 16 have been killed in or near the Channel Tunnel while trying to make the journey from France since June.

At the height of summer, the number of migrants living in the camps was about 3,000.

Local police said Ms Reker, 58, was "stable, but not out of the woods".

The attacker told police he stabbed Ms Reker "because of anti-foreigner motives," senior police investigator Norbert Wagner said.

Syrian asylum seekers in Greece have refused to be relocated to Luxembourg, pushing the European Union’s scheme for migrant quotas close to collapse.

The Times understands that plans to relocate 30 Syrians from Greece to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, one of Europe’s wealthiest countries, have been shelved because “very many” of them want to go to Germany instead.

Last week the European Commission organised television cameras for a media event when the first group of 19 Eritreans was relocated from Italy to Sweden. Officials have since revealed that the exercise was nearly a disaster.

The original plan was for 33 Eritreans to board an Italian military aircraft to Stockholm last Thursday. However, 14 Eritrean refugees “absconded” the day before and “the remaining people had to be placed under lock and key to stop them disappearing too”, a source said.

Tensions are building among thousands of migrants heading north through Balkan states as their route to Western Europe is stalled by new controls.

Croatia had asked its northern neighbour Slovenia to accept 5,000 migrants daily, but Slovenia said it would only take half that number.

The move has led to a build-up of people on Croatia's border with Serbia.

An official told the BBC that Croatia could run out of room in its transit camps within days.

Buses crammed with people were backed up in Serbia on Sunday, and tempers flared between frustrated migrants and overstretched police officers.

Overnight, many were forced to wait in the cold and the rain.

Eurotunnel services were suspended in both directions after an "intrusion" by hundreds of migrants at the terminal in Calais.

Channel Tunnel operators halted services between Folkestone and Coquelles in northern France after the terminal and platforms were stormed.

Some migrants used diversionary tactics to occupy police while others tried to cross the channel, Eurotunnel said.

Services have resumed, but passengers are warned to expect delays.

A spokesman for Eurotunnel said: "[The migrants] are coming in waves to occupy the police. Then another wave comes, then another, until there is no more police. One group is then able to get through.

"Then we have to take over and sweep through the terminal and clear them all from the tracks and the platform."

They should have armed soldiers with guns the other side of the fence and France should be censured for giving free Calais rail tickets to migrants.

If Europe continues to welcome people with open arms, millions of them are going to risk their lives crossing the Mediterranean and the long walk in winter conditions.

This madness will never end until the EU gets real and finally accepts the misguided nature of its policies.

And if France thinks that the Calais mafia are coming here, they have another think coming. The French authorities need to move them on and clear up the site to stop all this lawlessness. They can't come here and that's that.

Well it is staggering quite just how inept the EU seems to be. Calais aside, this has been going on long enough for them to have come up with some form of credible action but things have been allowed to simmer away nicely with ever increasing numbers tempted to take their chances. It didn't take the brain of Einstein to realise that's what would happen and it doesn't take a genius to work out that unless the authorities get a grip on this situation things will turn very nasty indeed. IMHO it's already be too late to prevent major problems but the more people who're encouraged to come here by the lack of any credible deterrent, the bigger and more protracted the crisis will be. Never mind though because the EU's great at having emergency meetings... :rolleyes:

The border of Britain is not in Calais. If the French wanted too they could remove that perk and we would have to deal with these camps in Dover. I doubt we would tolerate it if it were the other way around so being too aggressive towards France might not be in our best interests.

IIRC it is by treaty and can only be changed with the agreement of both sides. Of course the French being a law unto themselves when it suits, I wouldn't bank on them honouring that however...

The treaty has a break clause that would allow France to bow out with a 2 year notice period.

http://www.thelocal.fr/20150806/will...ve-border-home

There is a reason why the UK Government has been very careful not to implicate France or otherwise criticise them for the problems in Calais. This is treaty that benefits us more than it benefits them and the only reason France continues to abide by it is so that they don't sour diplomatic relations.

Osem 19-10-2015 18:44

Re: Unstoppable migration?
 
Of course there is, regardless of any treaty, there's nothing for us to gain by antagonising them. The French are prepared to flout the rules when it suits them to do so and they've acted unilaterally in the past.

That being said, they'd much rather not have a constant flow of migrants through their country so it's in both our interests to prove to these people that there's no point coming to France and expecting to get to the UK. I believe that'd be the quickest way to cut the numbers.

In politics you can sometimes gauge the level of panic and fear by the speed with which previously held principles are set aside.
So with the migrant crisis.
Some open borders have been suspended, governments are contemplating talking to President Assad, long denounced as a brutal dictator, and a deal is being hastily concluded with Turkey, widely held to be an increasingly authoritarian country.
And then what is being debated in Germany - containment camps on its borders and a police union chief urging Germany to build a fence along its border with Austria - are all indicators of the political tension gripping Berlin.
Angela Merkel has called her decision to open Germany's borders to refugees a "historic challenge" - but she is no longer in charge of events.
Her increasingly restive party is muttering she is "without a plan".
So the overture to Turkey - it is born out of the failure of other policies.
Germany had put great store by burden-sharing, by getting other countries to accept quotas.
It was muscled through a meeting of EU interior ministers against the wishes of several countries.
But only a handful of refugees have been relocated. Many others are refusing to leave Germany.
It is the case that many of those seeking asylum in Germany are from Kosovo and Albania.
Both countries are considered safe and the government in Berlin wants people returned there as quickly as possible.
It did not take long for the migrants to get medical certificates which prevent them being deported.

So Turkey came to be seen as the key to managing the crisis.
The EU wants Turkey to slow the numbers crossing the Aegean.
It also wants Turkey to take back any migrants who are refused asylum and entry into the EU.

Re: Unstoppable migration?
 
Word will spread very quickly and you can bet the numbers will soon rise dramatically. The same happens every time a new route across borders is discovered. As harsh as it seems the only way to stop this happening is to take these people straight back to where they came from but that's not a decision many people would feel comfortable with and would become progressively difficult.

My worry is that as the numbers increase, as they inevitably will, it will get to the point where the only way to stop places being overwhelmed will be the use of force. That's a scenario nobody wants to contemplate but it's the awful reality IMHO. Irrespective of what sympathy we have for them, we cannot allow the EU to be effectively 'stormed' by countless people from around the globe who are simply desperate to come here.

Trains, Boats? If the passport control is in Dover that poses a problem. There might be additional security checks like we have for Ireland which could help but otherwise the ability to check who should and shouldn't be coming over would be done in England not France.

Yes and so it should. However turning up amongst a boat load of seemingly innocent people (who may be under threat of their lives) quite possibly isn't going to attract any attention until it's too late. It'd be interesting to know what precautions are being taken by the RAF.

The longer this goes on the more I think back to the days when we were considering joining the Euro and there were those who insisted it'd be the best thing since sliced bread. They dismissed those who had the temerity to disagree as xenophobes, short sighted, idiots, sheep following the tabloid agenda blah blah blah. Funny how they all seem to have disappeared eh? Wasn't such a good idea after all was it! Now we have a huge new Euro-crisis and still people like that use the same insults to those with whom they disagree. Well it's patently obvious that those who predicted this problem would start to mushroom out of control have been proved right and yet there are still those who prefer to exist in denial and rely on name calling because that's all they've got. Well deny away but wait and see how many more migrants pitch up on our borders in coming months/years if nothing is done to stop them and maybe one day you'll see. Trouble is it'll be too late by then because Europe will have seen irrevocable change and the creation of huge irreversible social problems which will result in unrest.

Why? Because it doesn't suit your argument?

Crossing the Channel is a completely different proposition from crossing the Med.

If you are talking about commercial boats and trains, all the Government has to do is make the appropriate companies pay the cost for any 'returnees'. They would then have to satisfy themselves that all their passengers were entitled to cross before boarding.

If it were this easy then we wouldn't have felt the need to negotiate this treaty in France in the first place. The cost of sending them back isn't the main concern or expense in processing these applications. It is much easier from Britain's point of view for them to never arrive on British soil and hence this treaty works for us and winding up the French helps no one.

sadly the use of force seems inevitable.

Remember these people are fleeing a war zone, so to them things like border controls and hunger is better than been in a war zone as they have escaped the violence, only new violence will make them reconsider. Also we have the situation I expect there is economic migrants pretending to be syrians.

Tough situation I got no idea what a proper solution is, but it isnt to allow them to all migrate to europe in unlimited numbers.

Cycling from Russia to Norway is a recently-discovered route asylum seekers are using to reach the border-free Schengen Zone.

Taxi drivers say they risk being fined for human trafficking if they drive people across the frontier, so many of those wishing to make the journey buy bicycles to complete the final stage.

Some take advantage of the situation, selling bikes at excessive prices and increasing the cost of a taxi trip to the Russian border towns of Murmansk and Nickel from ten to 500 USD.

But Storskog, on the Norwegian side of the border, is struggling to cope.

Journalists in Western Europe continue to depict them as “refugees” fleeing war in Syria. The description is false. According to statistics released by the European Union, only twenty-five percent of them come from Syria; the true number is probably lower. The Syrian government sells passports and birth certificates at affordable prices. The vast majority of migrants come from other countries: Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Eritrea, Somalia, and Nigeria.

Many do not seem to have left in a hurry. Many bring new high-end smartphones and large sums of cash, ten or twenty thousand euros, sometimes more. Many have no passports, no ID, and refuse to give fingerprints.

Whenever people flee to survive, the men come with whole families: women, children, elders. Here, instead, more than 75% of those who arrive are men under 50

As Christians are now the main targets of Islamists (the Jews fled or were forced out decades ago), the people escaping the war in Syria should be largely composed of Christians. But Christians are a small minority among those who arrive, and they often hide that they are Christians.

Those who enter Europe are almost all Muslims, and behave as some Muslims often do in the Muslim world: they harass Christians and attack women. In reception centers, harassing Christians and attacking women are workaday incidents. European women and girls who live near reception centers are advised to take care and cover up. Rapes, assaults, stabbings and other crimes are on the rise.

"If we don't find a solution today, if we don't do everything we can today, then it is the end of the European Union as such," Cerar said.

The huge tide of humanity — Germany has taken in 409,000 migrants in 40 days — is the most important political issue of this decade.

And yet Corbyn, the Labour leader, stays schtum. Why could that be?

Surely he couldn’t be in favour of German-type numbers coming here but declines to say anything as he fears he would do worse at the polls than right now?

But as voters we have the right to know.

He gave a clue to his views during a fascinating meeting published in The Mail on Sunday with Simon Danczuk, the Labour MP for Rochdale who was married to that lady who kept sending photos of her breasts to the nation.

In a frank exchange Mr Danczuk told Corbyn that Rochdale in the North West is home to 1,000 asylum seekers, more than the whole of the South East.

When he says that one in four of his constituents has roots in Pakistan, Kashmir and Bangladesh Corbyn says “great” and his eyes light up.

As unpleasant as the thought is, he is right and it will have to happen if we're going to have any chance of preventing Europe being flooded. Encouraging migrants to come to the EU is really no different from the UK allowing free access to EU citizens and look how many came here. The main differences are: a) there are many more people around the world who want that chance and are utterly desperate to take it and b) the cultural and other differences and usually far greater, both of which will mean successfully integrating and accommodating them will be impossible. For those who are rightly concerned about the plight of refugees, well taking in economic migrants in such vast numbers simply means the public appetite for and means by which to assist genuine refugees will be severely diminished.

We really do have to get real - it's no good the Eurocrats bandying around terms like 'grave emergency' whilst standing there wringing their hand and watching the disaster unfold. We have to be decisive and proactive not reactive - the EU has proven itself to be neither.

After a mini-summit, European leaders have agreed steps to strengthen border controls along Greek and Slovenian borders, to try and slow the movement of refugees and migrants through the region.

There was grumbling, there was pleading, and there were several sharp retorts.

It was sometimes hard to remember that all the leaders who turned up here professed to want the same thing: an end to the chaos that increasingly marks the migration route through the Western Balkans...


... Deep rifts have opened up in the region, as the number of migrants has increased, and Mr Juncker's new proposals to strengthen Schengen's external borders in Greece and Slovenia play into national fears, as countries further along the route fear being turned into buffer zones.

In the story of Europe's migrant crisis, one nation's protection becomes another nation's problem.

A whole lot of people are now discovering that in the grand EU scheme of things, their views no longer matter - they and their Govts. get told what to do...

Not only have the Germans engineered EU economic and political policy to suit their own ends as best they can but, to add insult to grievous injury, they're now going to be roundly condemned for creating a tidal wave of migration which is destabilising far poorer nations and the legacy of which is going to last for decades.

Sweden ‘Facing Collapse’ Thanks To Migrant Influx, Foreign Minister Warns

Malmo, which just two years ago played host to that most unifying of events, the Eurovision Song Contest, now has “no-go zones.” Last month, retired Chief Superintendent Torsten Elofsson told Breitbart London: “We have a number of no-go-zones in Sweden and they are expanding… police can go to these places, but you have to take precautions.

“Years ago you could go with two officers, no problem. Now you have to send four officers and two cars – if the fire brigade want to go, they have to take a police escort. They throw stones and try to stop the fireman from putting out fires.”

He added: “Of the number of people arrested and dragged into police stations, the majority are of foreign origin to be honest. There is an over-representation of violent crimes committed by people from other countries”.

Quote:

From an English friend who lives abroad.

Our rulers - Mrs Merkel and Hollande - have demanded that all European countries take their "fair share" of the (mainly Muslim) migrant hordes (swarms?) over-running Europe's apparently unguarded borders.

But how do you decide what a "fair share" is?

Merkel and Hollande will probably try to link the number of migrants to each country's GDP as that will ensure Britain gets landed with most of the flood of human beings pouring into Europe.

But I've got a better idea. Why not link the number of refugees each country takes to its population density?

Not only that, but I've even worked out the numbers for Merkel and her French colleague.

Here's how I've done it. I've started with Europe's most densely populated country - England. England's population density is 413 people per square kilometre (413 ppl/km2).
Then I've worked out how many refugees the main European countries could take for them to reach the same population density as Europe's most densely populated country - England.

To reach the same population density as England (413 ppl/km2), Germany could take 67 million migrants, France could accommodate a whopping 160 million and Spain an even larger 161 million. And our close neighbours in Scotland have room for over 25 million! That should please socialist Sturgeon.

In all, just thirteen European countries could accommodate more than 680 million migrants before reaching the same population density as England.

Well -- that seems to solve the problem of deciding how countries should take their "fair share" of the migrant swarm. So, using my calculations, there's no need forEurope's most densely populated country - England - to take any migrants at all and our friends in these thirteen countries can comfortably absorb over 680 million migrants.

That seems to me to be giving each country the "fair share" that Merkel and Hollande demand!

It's a pity that Cameron (or his wife) has neither the brains to think up such a solution, nor the balls to protect our national interests by standing up to Merkel and Hollande.

England is full! Let the migrant deluge go somewhere else!

I already made the disclaimer that it's a Forces site so you won't get all your lovely liberal PC ******** there, what you DO get however is a viewpoint from serving & ex-serving members who have a viewpoint that as valid as any of the handwringers ones you find lurking here.

In the case of the population density to migrant numbers it serves to put into context how some countries fare much better than others.

I wasn't trying to discredit ARRSE (as ex-Services, I am a frequent visitor to the site).

If you read my post, you would have seen I pointed out that ARRSE got it from a site that looks to be based on paranoid ramblings on a number of subjects, which IMHO lessens that site's (not ARRSE's) credibility.

btw, love your proposition that anyone who doesn't agree with you is a hand wringer and a lefty - heaven forbid that they just don't agree with you.

I think you may find that any 'left wingers' on this forum do not count Chris and I as fellow-travellers...;)

Heh I wasn't referring to you as a lefty, If I were I'd quite clearly say 'Hugh you're a lefty luvvie' so don't assume stuff til its very clear. Interestingly enough much of the lefty types here seem to have dropped off the radar as the migration saga has rumbled on and shown no sign of stopping. Funny that.

Yes, they're probably still in therapy after telling us all the Euro was the best thing since sliced bread and denigrating anyone who had the temerity to disagree. I recall being told my fears were all a function of xenophobic paranoia but that all seems to have gone quiet now for some strange reason... :shrug:

The EU, the Euro and the single European state are very fine concepts in theory but they don't take into account basic human nature.

More EU 'madness'?

Quote:


European ministers have devised a dramatic plan to solve the migration crisis, offering a series of sweeteners in exchange for sending illegal migrants back to Africa.

They will provide cash and visa deals to persuade African countries to take back some of the 800,000 people who have flooded across the Mediterranean into Europe this year.

But in return, the proposed deal will give thousands of African students, doctors and entrepreneurs an open door to move into the European Union.

Officials are preparing to justify the highly controversial arrangement by saying only professionals who will contribute to society will be allowed into the EU.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/news...or-Africa.html

I'd have thought qualified people, doctors, entrepreneurs etc. are just the sort of people we ought to be encouraging to stay put in order to benefit their own countries. We're only just emerging from a medical crisis in which doctors/nurses from all around the world were sent to Africa in order to contain the ebola outbreak. :confused:

If Cameron can't by now see what sort of people he's dealing with and how broken the EU is he must be as stupid/misguided as they are. Perhaps he believes we should stay in the EU no matter what the cost - shackling us to a sinking ship. It'll be interesting to see what his stance is when he finds that nothing of any significance is going to change as a result of his 'negotiations'.

Quote:

On Tuesday, he will use a major speech to make his strongest threat so far that he could recommend an “out” vote if Europe turns a “deaf ear” to British requests for change.

However, some of Mr Cameron’s own Cabinet ministers have privately given up hope that he will secure the kind of radical changes to Britain’s EU membership that they want.

That's exactly what I thought when I read the article this morning. Plus, does the EU really think that the African countries will happily take back their unskilled people for a few sheckles and happily give up their skilled people? :confused:

Politicians constantly argue that immigration brings economic benefits.
Even if that were true in general, it clear that Muslim immigration does
not.
"For example, compared with the UK average of 22% of the working age
population being economically inactive, Somali, Bangladeshi, Pakistani
and Iranian immigrants are likely to be 81%, 56%, 55% and 48%
economically inactive respectively"
These figures come from the Institute for Public Policy report "Britain's
Immigrants: an economic profile"
I know that this data is a few years old but I doubt that much has changed.

......and more up to date info

Taken from the comments section of one of those articles:

King Alfred: And now my lords we march to fight Guthrum and his great Viking army.
Priest: I am sorry my Lord but that is against their human rights. You see they have been here for a few years.
King Alfred: What about when they wiped out the whole of East Anglia?
Priest: Well you see that is a part of their culture which we must respect my lord.
King Alfred: Okay then I will send you to negotiate with them lets see how long you will last...
Priest: I believe we can integrate them, my Lord.
King Alfred: But what about their raping?
Priest: Diversity, my Lord.
King Alfred: And their pillaging?
Priest: Enrichment, my Lord.
King Alfred: Their looting?
Priest: Vibrancy, my Lord.
King Alfred: This integration you speak of ... it looks a lot like, well, what we used to call 'losing'.
:D

Yes, we've been consistently fed misinformation in order to justify and even disguise mass migration and its true costs to UK plc, both social and economic. Who was it who coined the phrase 'joined up thinking'? There's precious little evidence of that when it comes to immigration.

Al Qaeda Terror Boss Discovered On Migrant Boat.......Authorities ‘Tried To Hide News’

Quote:

Ben Nasr Mehdi, a Tunisian who was first arrested in Italy in 2007 and sentenced to seven years imprisonment for plotting terror attacks with an Islamic State-linked group, was caught trying to re-enter the country last month.

Authorities discovered him among 200 migrants who were rescued at sea and taken to the island of Lampedusa. Although he gave a false name, migration officers identified him through finger print records, the Independent reports.

German channel n-tv claims the Italian government initially tried to hide the story to avoid “panic” and “scare tactics”. The news did not emerge until several days after Mehdi had been detained last week.

You can be sure there are a lot more of his kind now in the EU area. ISIS are not stupid and this rush of migrants in to the EU has given them a perfect way to get their fighters into mainland Europe. By this time next year we will have seen far more terrorist incidents than we have before and that any terrorist attacks will most likely be aimed at holiday locations within the EU.

I would prefer they start in London and around number 10.

but yeh. we have opened a secret back door to let terrorists in to blow us all up.

but we're British and dumb.
even James Bond thinks we're thick.

Do we expect anything less from these people? They've consistently tried to downplay the impact (social, economic or anything else) of what been going on as they sit their wringing their hands, having meetings about meetings. and propagating European 'unity'.

For me just as real a danger is going to be the countless disaffected thousands whose experience of 'acceptance' and a better life in the EU won't be at all what they'd hoped for. They're likely become disillusioned and extremely bitter (it's already happening) having often risked their lives and/or gambled everything to make their journeys. If these people aren't going to prove a very fertile recruiting ground for ISIS and others I'd be very surprised. No matter eh? I'm sure Europe will be just as effective dealing with the enemy it allowed within as it's proved dealing with the enemy without... :rolleyes:

Re: Unstoppable migration?
 
You have to wonder how many terrorists have got into the UK through this backdoor thing.
a few, tens, hundreds or thousands?
will they all be synchronised?
do you think it will be this side of Xmas when they announce their arrival with a bang?

I presume I am one of the lefties you talk about?

There isn't much left to say is there? People post articles on here but the fundamental issue hasn't changed for months. There is a big problem and we don't know the solution. The migrants will keep coming and a crisis continues to develop.

But really, with the exception of maybe Osem who posts links to mainstream stuff, this thread is becoming increasingly more weird to the point where Hugh and Chris are dismissed as liberals, stuff about chemtrails and '5th Columnist Traitors' who are 'evil'. If I wanted to listen to paranoid ravings then Alex Jones is much better for that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUEy55r49fY

Umm don't presume anything... it'll be made very clear if I call you something, it won't be subtle. No one was dismissed as anything by me. sounds more like a case of guilt conscience perhaps ?

As already stated thrice now. I'll be sure to name any lefty luvvies, there will be no misunderstanding. Until then don't presume anything, it diminishes you.
