Infidel 10:54 Mon Jan 4
The sooner the EU collapses the better

What a mess we have here in Denmark today, the first day of the new border checks for those travelling to Sweden.

The Swedes have decided that all the commuter trains will now stop at Copenhagen airport - the last stop before the bridge to Sweden - all the passengers will get off the train and have their ID checked before they can re-board to continue their journey.

This is madness. Copenhagen and Malmo is a single metro area and has had a free movement agreement for 50 years, long before Schengen was invented.

Some of our staff in who live in Sweden but work in Copenhagen are facing one and half hour longer commute times. There are far fewer trains and long delays. Imagine setting up passport checks on all the bridges over the Thames in rush hour and you get some idea of what's happened.

And why?Because the fat trade union oaf whom the Swedes elected as their Prime Minister last year declared that all Syrians who make it to Sweden will get guaranteed permanent residency. There are 20 million Syrians and only 10 million Swedes. What could possibly go wrong?

The Swedes set up a trestle table at Malmo to welcome the "refugees" (they aren't refugees, but we'll let that pass) and were astonished when 10,000 people a day pitched up, two thirds of whom were not Syrians but Afghans, Iraqis and Somalis able to spot an open door when they see one.

So now Sweden has shut the door and says it can't take any more, hence the border controls. But that means all the "refugees" are piling up in Denmark on their way to Sweden, so Sweden's stupidity has now become Denmark's problem.

The Danes are furious, not surprisingly. Some of the anti-Swedish sentiment I have heard here these last few days is unprintable.

Like the idiotic Chancellor of Germany with her promise to take 800,000 migrants, the Swedish government failed to understand that in the Schengen area you can't make unilateral decisions about migrants. What if the 800,000 newly minted German residents decide to live in Denmark instead? Inside Schengen there is nothing to stop them.

And higher up the food chain lies the real responsibility - in Brussels. The EU has failed to comprehend the simple fact that the so called migrant crisis of 2015 wasn't a single year event to be solved but a permanent feature.Every year more will come and as there are more than a billion people who would rather like to move to Europe the flow is effectively infinite.

They should have towed the migrant boats back to Libya and Turkey and solved the problem in a few weeks.

Instead they have caused mayhem. Already European countries are at war (not with guns - yet) over who should take these millions.

The EU is a doomsday machine. It does precisely the opposite of what it is supposed to do.Instead of fostering harmony and co-operation it has set European countries and peoples against each other. The Euro was bad enough but this latest piece of incompetence is causing fences to be thrown up along borders between countries that were once friendly neighbours.

When we vote in the referendum we have a chance to torpedo this ghastly institution and save Europe from disaster - a role which always seems to fall to us for some reason.

I can't believe that any sane Englishman would vote to stay in and prop up this corrupt, venal and criminally stupid edifice.

Re: The sooner the EU collapses the better

Bloke I know has just come back from visiting both places and was gobsmacked at the scale of the influx. He spoke to a lot of local people to find out that the reason all the migrants want to get to Sweden is because of the 'enhanced' benefit system which, I don't think Denmark has (something about the state can take your assets if you claim off of it(?).

For reference, he is from Bangladesh, well educated, politically and technically, and funny with it.

It's a simple and obvious solution really but no-one wants to stop this really.

Multi-culturalism is a wonderful thing. I know because our three main political parties' leading politicians all agree...

Europe needs a good war badly

Liberal agenda needs to be wiped out and Brussels has to go

Convincing argument there Vexed, you really put your pro immigration point across well.

It's an undemocratic club designed to enrich a relative few at the expense of th many. As Orwell said though, 'Control the language, and you control the people.'. My only hope is that it has a sudden collapse like FIFA, an organisation that it has a lot in common with.

The comparison between FIFA and EU is very true.... wouldn't be at all surprised to see Blatter rock up in Brussels next (if he wasn't pretending to be ga ga!)

Fair enough, Infidel, but the essential questions here are whether Valencia deserves to keep his place and can Carroll jump as high as he used to before his injury.

Re: The sooner the EU collapses the better

The guy that wrote the book on UKIP was predicting that the it will be a similar result to the Scots referendum vote and YES to stay in will win, that worries me, hopefully he's wrong. It will be close though.

Re: The sooner the EU collapses the better

It will be about 2 years from the time Cameron announced a vote, which is detrimental to the UK economy, stifling inward investment. If a Yes vote prevails, who's to say the EU won't get worse and another vote will take place damaging investment again. Best to get out of the EU basket case ASAP and be done with it.

Re: The sooner the EU collapses the better

I know an English chap who is married to a German woman (no, not Farage) but he is already scaremongering as he is telling her and everyone he knows that she will deported immediately if we vote 'No.' He is a bit of a wishy washy type in any case but he is totally panicking over this referendum.

Re: The sooner the EU collapses the better

I'm a bit Ronald Antly about the EU. Everytime a crisis happens in any area the solution from Brussels always involves MORE integration and MORE power moving towards the EU. Which is the exact opposite of what Europe's voters now want.

I expect lots of scaremongering in the run up to the referendum. But the whole project is flawed and we're better off out of it.

Haha! Ron I was referring to the fact there seems to be a underhand conspiracy involving the Brussels elite.

You are the WHO conspiracy master, in my eyes.
