The Carnival is coming to town
2016 is off to a fantastic start in Merkel's vision of New Europe. So far, 42,000 migrants have risked life and limb (and their first born children) to hand over bundles of filthy lucre to the Turkish Mafia in order to secure them a seat on the gravy train table at her “all are welcome” Facebook party. 48 migrants have drowned trying to cross the Aegean on what appears to be an endless supply of rubber dinghies and countless new Mercedes and Rolexes have been ordered by Greek and Turkish border guards who somehow never seem to be in the right place at the right time to catch the smugglers.
Sweden has announced it will eject 80,000 false asylum seekers (clue: it won't) after what appears to be a man pretending to be an orphan decided that his 22 year old blonde carer in the orphanage had offended him so much, he had to stab her to death – presumably she asked him to wear his FREE FUCKING EVERYTHING FOR LIFE wristband a little more clearly before he appeared for breakfast after morning prayers.
Karneval, a time when Germans really do let their hair down (rare as it is) is now under threat as German Police finally seek to grapple with the hoards of North African criminals (yes, 40% have criminal records after living a year in Germany) robbing and raping their women and jokes about refugees have officially been banned at Austrian comedy clubs.
And still they come. An estimated 3,000 are entering Bavaria in Southern Germany every single day (that's a million a year) and there is nothing we can do to stop them. Borders are going up faster than I can track them and the EU are now suggesting that Greece simply become one enormous concentration camp on the Med to hold 400,000 rejects that Germany no longer wants to have to worry about.
How the hell did we get here? And how the hell are we going to get out again?

The simple answer, of course, is that we can't. Conservative estimates expect another 2 million to arrive this year and with all the will in the world, you can't stop that sort of crowd from climbing the fences unless you are prepared to call in the tanks – regardless of whether we are hindered politically by a home grown army of limp wristed Corbynistas desperate to assuage their own internal guilt at once having eaten a bacon sandwich by handing over the country to an army of invaders.
