38. Islamification of Europe my arse.
Sun Jan 17, 2016, 05:40 AM
Jan 2016

It's not happening, the biggest complaint about immigration to the UK concerns Poles and other East Europeans, even though they're doing the jobs British people refuse to do.

These people coming into Europe right now aren't migrants, they're refugees fleeing persecution from Islamic fundamentalists and a brutal dictator. There are laws governing asylum seekers.

Rotherham was terrible, but the perpetrators have all been locked up, unlike well heeled abusers who got off scot free.

Twelve former residents of children's homes say they were abused by Lord Janner, a BBC investigation has found, as criminal proceedings end.

The peer, who died before a court could examine claims of child abuse against him, regularly visited homes in Leicester in the 1970s and 1980s.

An ex-police officer says he reported suspicions about Lord Janner, a decade before police began a full inquiry.

Lord Janner, who had dementia and died aged 87 in December, had denied abuse.

A "trial of the facts", due to take place in April, has now been shelved by prosecutors.


A jury would have been asked to decide - without reaching a decision about whether he was guilty - if 22 alleged incidents of abuse from the 1960s to the 1980s had taken place.

Over 1.1 million asylum seekers entered Germany last year, the vast majority are just concerned with getting on with their lives. And yes the few hundred who've been groping should be prosecuted, and if they're not asylum seekers they should be repatriated.

You Americans really are addicted to fear, once Communism collapsed you didn't know what to do with yourselves. Well you've found a nice bogeyman in Islamic fundamentalism, funded by Reagan and given legitimacy by Dubya's illegal invasion of Iraq which had a knock on effect throughout the ME. Never mind, as long as your arms dealers are doing well you can grip your guns full of piss and fear, safe in the knowledge that state of the art American weapons are being sold to Wahhabists in Saudi Arabia before being shipped on to IS to continue the cycle.

If and when the conflict ends in Syria don't expect the asylum seekers to hang about. They're going to want to go home, just like 2nd generation Nigerian migrants are doing.

The champagne is flowing at the bustling Fahrenheit rooftop bar with its sweeping views of Victoria Island's skyline. With glasses clinking young Nigerians returnees from the diaspora jostle to tell of their tales of the opportunities they've unearthed since coming home. They call them the repatriates - or more simply the "repats".

Among the guests at Fahrenheit, a hub for diaspora returnees started by a London-trained Nigerian lawyer and designer, was Kemdy McEarnest who had only moved to Lagos just seven months earlier. He talked exuberantly about how Nigeria was on the up and the range of opportunities he had developed for his own PR business since coming to the country. He said if Nigerians can return in large numbers then the country could really "grow".

Sitting alongside him was Aisha Shaba. I had earlier met Aisha when I had visited the set of "On the Couch", a talk show on the Nigerian Spice TV fashion channel. Aisha grew up in Hammersmith in west London and told me it had been a steep learning curve in the hustle and bustle of Nigeria since coming back four years ago after graduating from university.

She landed a part in the country's biggest soap opera, "Tinsel", and has now moved on to other acting parts in film and TV as well as working as a presenter. "A lot of people are coming back now. And I think that's an amazing thing," she said.
