Danes, Swedes impose new border checks in fresh blow to open-frontier Europe

The stupidity of the miscreants in Cologne on NYE amazes me.
Everybody knows that if you arrive somewhere new, then for a period of time you are on probation as it were. If you go above and beyond to integrate or treat the locals with good grace and manners it goes a long way to smoothing over problems.
You can't carry on as if you were back in your country of origin if the new home is different.0 -

How much free money can a family of 4 get in the UK without having to do any work at all?
Compare these answers to the situation in other countries then ask yourself where you prefer to live.
This is happening down south, well, a variation of it - at the moment. Children are being put on wait lists for schools because there are no places for them in their local borough council area.0 -

What do you expect from a load of uneducated, sex-starved goatherds? From the accounts, the perpetrators are economic migrants, largely from North Africa, who arrived in Europe expressly for the benefits, including 'free girls'. Apparently, about 70 per cent of the migrants are males, and they come from a culture that is incompatible with ours. You can see that from the pictures, when the press doesn't home in on children to create a sensation, but shows the migrants arriving en masse. The majority of these males certainly don't look like poor migrants, but like strong, affluent and healthy men (some nonetheless calling themselves 'children' while looking in their late teens and twenties). They also seem to be arriving from all over the Muslim world, including Pakistan, Africa, Iraq, Afghanistan. Madness.
Now I hear the Germans want to impose some sort of petrol tax on other European countries to pay for the problem they've created! I'm very glad to have found out that Germany feels it has a right to rule sovereign European nations, because until the migrant issue arose, I was under the impression that the EU was quite a benign organisation that dealt collectively primarily with economic matters, not with issues of sovereignty, to which I object most strongly.:cool:
The Swedes are quite right to impose border checks, but it is too little, too late, given how far this whole situation has gone in their country.0
