The great migration...

Europe's vaunted socialist "democratic" model is going to collapse in spectacular fashion. What will replace it?

[callmeslick]

first, there is no real evidence the system cannot survive it just fine, nor that the migration in this case is anything but temporary. Many of the migrants are professionals and will find work and a place in whatever society they end up in. Second, and very much worth noting, this is nothing new. America absorbed a far larger migration of relatively illiterate and impoverished people between 1880 and 1930, and flourished because of it. I know you trade on gloom and doom, Nightshade, but there is no real truth behind it, certainly not at this juncture.

But of course some of you will go into ostrich mode and pretend this means nothing.

I'm laughing at your attempt to discredit by killing the messenger.

No, seriously, the Daily Mail is the UK equivalent of the National Enquirer. It's a tabloid rag that ignorant types lap up. You do any argument that you're presenting massive disservice by citing it. Why would you willingly choose a piece of fear-mongering hyperbole as legitimate evidence?

So you are saying social unrest in Germany is all a fabrication?

a fabrication, no. An hysterical exaggeration, quite possibly.
