Re: Merkels U.Turn
I've liked Merkel's personality as a german leader. She is a scientist and approaches politics in a cool-headed, calm, logical manner. She seems to be the only foreign leader who can get on well with everyone, even Putin. She's definitely made a big mistake in dealing with the refugee crisis. But for years people have trusted her to do the job and she's highly respected. We do a lot of business with germany so I hope that she isn't replaced by someone hostile to the UK.Re: Merkels U.Turn
Re: Merkels U.Turn
It seems to be like a contagion within the EU countries at present. The far right are gaining footholds in a lot of countries where once, they were slavish followers of the EU totem pole. Just look at Germany, France, Italy, Sweden and countries like Hungary, who absolutely refuse to honour the Shenghen agreement. When the Brussels elite protested at the high fence Hungary erected between themselves and the once open border with Serbia and demanded that they dismantle it, Hungary just completely ignored them. They see themselves as the only barrier with which to stop hoardes of Muslims entering their country en-route to Northern Europe to such countries as Germany, France and the UK. Their reasons, although I do not agree with their methods, are perfectly understandable, They were invaded by the Turkish Ottomans and ruled over for 100 years and are fearful of their Christian country once again being invaded by Muslims, leading to future conflicts. Hence their reasons for the fence. If illegal immigrants manage to damage and get through the fence, the Mayor of the village at the border, with the help of the village people who back the Mayor 100 per cent, hunt them down by helicopter, jeeps and motorbikes, and kick them out or detain them. Beatings are not unusual.Re: Merkels U.Turn
