Europe is very, very, ill, a victim of a weak but highly opportunistic pathogen,

and if it cannot soon mount a robust immune response it will die.
Even if it can manage such a response, at this late hour it will be a close-run thing — and we have already passed the point, I think, where it can recover without some very serious “unpleasantness”. But the choice is now very plain: awaken or die. Most likely it will die, I think. (Already there are calls to close down the traditional Christmas-markets for the sake of security. This is what late-stage cultural immunodeficiency looks like.) When a nation forgets her skill in war, when her religion becomes a mockery, when the whole nation becomes a nation of money-grabbers, then the wild tribes, the barbarians drive in. – John Howard Europe: To Be, Or Not? – waka waka waka

Your Say

Insisting on the comfort of the cradle is a sign of immaturity. In adults, it is a sign of surrender.
The 2017 elections in Europe -- expect to be surprised.
