That was much scarier. <br /><br />I agree with much of what you say. It is, as i said, one of the problems that, having made a couple of colossal and catastrophic errors, the political class is finding it impossible to acknowledge that or the obvious truth that they do not know the solution. The media's role in all this and the BBC's specifically is despicable.

Though it does detail a range of measures the EU is taking to reduce the flow. Time will tell how effective they will be.<br /><br />Much will also depend on whether the Germans and Swedes allow family re-unification, which they previously have done. They're talking a bit tougher about this at the moment, but they might conclude it is the lesser of two evils than having hundreds of thousands of single males marauding around. But if they do that then because all the "refugees" are drawn from a younger age group they dramatically increase the chance of Muslim majorities in their own countries in a few decades. The European political elites seem to think they can make Muslims Europeans, whereas a good deal of the Muslim want to make Europe Muslim.<br /><br />Once again though the BBC should be thoroughly ashamed of the part they have played in all this. The reports by Fergal Keane where he only showed families arriving in particular stand out as an act of calculated deception.<br /><br />We live in interesting times.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17384748465626907587noreply@blogger.com
