Have you noticed the difference between how the BBC reports that the Swedes have started to control migration and the alarmed rhetoric we got when ‘Right-wing’ Hungary did the same?
No claims of fascism or Nazism or racism as levelled at the Hungarians….in fact the Swedish story has vanished off the BBC pages to be replaced by one about Denmark reacting to the Swedish actions.
The BBC isn’t resorting to the same abuse that it did with Hungary when we were told that the problem with East Europeans is that they are stuck in the dark ages due to their history and that their innate racism hasn’t been educated out of them yet, however Sweden is still treated to the glare of disapproval however moderately expressed….
Denmark has tightened its border controls with Germany, hours after Sweden imposed similar measures to deter migrants entering from Denmark.
Danish Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen said the decision was “not a happy moment” but Denmark “must respond” to Sweden’s restrictions.
Stojberg, Denmark’s integration minister, said the measures taken by Sweden meant Denmark was “faced with a serious risk to public order and internal security because a very large number of illegal immigrants may be stranded in the Copenhagen area”.
The move is expected to cause serious disruption to traffic flows from Denmark.
Danish Transport Minister Hans Christian Schmidt called the checks “extremely annoying”.
Holly Snaith, a British academic who commutes from Malmo to her job at Copenhagen University, told the BBC that the changes had added at least half an hour to her journey.
“We are all on tenterhooks hoping that the Swedish government will resolve things soon,” she said.
Nicholas Bean, who commutes from Malmo to his marketing job in Copenhagen, said: “Travellers aren’t happy about the Swedish government’s action… There has to be a better way to handle the problem.”
A similar set of border closures in eastern Europe in October left thousands of migrants stranded in poor weather conditions.
Apparently nobody is happy with Sweden which has taken such an irresponsible action…and oh those poor migrants ‘stranded in poor weather conditions’…should have stayed in sunny Turkey then…or one of the refugee camps provided at great expense but ignored for some reason as the migrants preferred to head for the land of milk, honey and free housing.
Oh yes…more BBC propaganda designed purely to push the line that we must accept refugees…nothing to do with ‘reporting’ in the slightest…you may have heard John Simpson’s attempt to persuade us that allowing millions of refugees into Europe is a good and humane thing to do, he used the fact that 250,000 Belgium refugees were allowed into the UK during WWI to bolster his case….what he didn’t mention was that as soon as the war was over the government forced nearly all of them out and sent them packing back to Belgium…Simpson should know that history as the BBC told it to us last year…..
“It was the largest influx of refugees in British history but it’s a story that is almost totally ignored,” says Tony Kushner, professor of modern history at the University of Southampton.
Syria might be in need of all those people itself when the time comes to rebuild…..but the BBC has decided that’s not a good idea.
Will the government send Syrians et al packing? We know that ain’t going to happen with Syrians and others from the Middle East, or from wherever, today as once they get there feet across the threshhold they know they are here to stay…so the best thing is to keep them out from the start and care for them in locations closer to their own homes from where they can be repatriated when the time is right.
Simpson does admit to the real problem…Islam…
Yet there is one major difference between these waves of migrants in the past and the one we have seen in 2015.
Professor Alex Betts, director of the Refugee Studies Centre at Oxford University, explains: “What’s dramatic about today is that this is the first time Europe has faced people coming in from the outside in large numbers as refugees.
“The fact that many are Muslims is perceived as challenging Europe’s identity.”
European societies are changing very fast indeed as a result of immigration.
Unfortunately he doesn’t go further and dodges the major conflicts that will ultimately arise from invasion of millions of Muslim migrants and instead blames bad government…
The influx of migrants reinforces people’s sense that their identity is under threat.
But how can the world deal conclusively with the problem?
The former UN under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs, Sir John Holmes, blames poor global governance.
We have endured an entire century of exile and homelessness and the cause is almost always the same – conflict and bad government.
Unless these are dealt with, the flow of migrants will never be stopped.
Actually the migrant flow can be stopped…Hungary proved it…you just shut the border. The reason we get so many flooding towards Europe is because they heard Merkel’s siren call that all would be welcome…..when they start to realise the borders are shut they will stop coming in their millions….Turkey and other such transit countries will be lumbered with those ‘stranded in poor weather’ and will soon start to shut their borders…ala Denmark….a domino effect all the way back to the countries of origin. Simples.
The BBC says we cannot stop them and we’d better get used to mass migration [Mark Easton™] but we can stop them if there is the will. Just say no you’re not coming in.
