Angela Merkel says Germany has lost control of the refugee crisis amid public anger over Cologne sex attacks
Merkel admits Germany has lost control of the refugee crisis. The first major reprisal attacks have started against migrants.
So typical and so predictable. She put in a policy that was always going to cause this problem. The government then proceed to cover up the issue and drown out any voices of descent. Opposing voices were demonized by labeling them "far right", "racist", "bigots", etc even though most were well reasoned and, in light of recent events, entirely correct. The media were as culpable as the government, if not more so. Where was the accurate reporting? Too many journos trying to shape the world view rather than report the facts.
So into the void steps the REAL far right, and the people are forced to back them because the government won't protect its citizenry.
Of course Australia's media and and left leaning politicians won't learn from this and will repeat the same mistake.
The pendulum always swings back. Stop pushing too far left (or right) if you want to live in a pleasant country.
