The Pope tries to lead by example....and fails!

Yesterday the Holy See took it upon himself to visit the Greek island of Lesbos and to lead by example and take 12 Syrian families from the camp to Rome. The Vatican has announced that it intends to lead by example and if every Roman Catholic parish in Europe would take one displace Syrian family then this would ease their plight.

Lets examine this shall we?

Would these Syrian families be vetted? If the answer is YES, then okay pass to question two.
Would they live "as the Romans do"? i.e. not expect their hosts to moderate their religious and civil behaviour to suit them? If the answer is YES, then okay pass to stage three.
Would they sign a pledge that when Syria is deemed a safe country they will return to help with the rebuilding of this historic country? If the answer is yes, then by all means stay.

If the answer is No to any of these questions then they cannot be helped, because by not agreeing to these simple requests they are showing that they have little respect for their hosts, or their host nation and that they are only along for a free ride not to benefit from the "refuge" offered
The Pope is known for his fondness of Communism and his predilection for globalism, so this hollow act does not surprise me.

I wonder why the permanent tented city in Saudi Arabia, that exists purely to house the annual pilgrimage for the Hajj, is not brought into use for this humanitarian crisis? Indeed why are we Europeans being lectured at to rescue and accommodate these people, when a country more in line with their beliefs, which benefits from the same climate and adopts the same lifestyle and which is rich enough to support these refugees is not being pilloried for their lack of assistance? Please do not quote to me that Saudi Arabia et al have offered to help pay for the construction of mosques in European countries, because I am afraid that just doesn't cut it with me.

Demographic suicide of Europe - Can it be reversed?

There is no doubt, to any rational, critical thinking person in the Western world, that Europe is going through as big a crisis as those of WW1 and WW2. Unfortunately, the crisis we currently find ourselves in has been created or at least abetted by our own political leaders. There has been much talk of the Frankfurt School and the Coudenhove-Kalergi plan, cultural marxism and the creep of Islamism within the West and Europe specifically. We are told that we need to import immigrants from the third world countries in order to fill the demographic hole created by Europeans not breeding sufficiently. The Coudenhove-Kalergi plan openly advocates the destruction of the European race, or at the very least its dilution. So for decades, various countries have made it fiscally less and less desirable to procreate. The married person's tax allowance was removed from UK citizens way back in the nineties, child benefit, in countries where it is paid, has...

Lord Taverne slams the will of the people.

Last night (13 March 2017) the House of Commons voted on the Bill to trigger Article 50 of the Lis bon Trea ty . This Bill allows the government of the UK to set in motion the process of separation from the European Union, nine months after the people of the UK voted, via a referendum, to leave. Despite the best efforts of Gina Miller (a Soros stooge) and a cabal of self-interested parties to block the UK government from trying to exit without parliamentary approval; a move that was upheld by several self-interested High Court and Supreme Court Judges were proven fruitless. In compliance with the court directive, the UK government tabled a Bill laying out the specifics of exiting the EU. Passed by the House of Commons, it went up to the House of Lords, who rejected the Bill and returned it to the elected House with amendments. The amendments were overturned by the elected House of Commons and it has since passed in the House of...

Pot and Kettle!!!

It never fails to amaze me that some people in positions of power have the nerve to judge countries when their own home nation is not known for banging the same drum..... The UN Human Rights Chief, Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein from Saudi Arabia, has drawn the world's attention to the horrendous behaviour of the Turkish Authorities. He, quite correctly, has stated that the shooting at unarmed people protesting in Cizre, Turkey, was against their fundamental rights. This throws up two issues for me; Saudi Arabia has an appalling human rights record and the fact that a Saudi citizen is the head of the UN Human Rights is laughable. Does he criticise Saudi Arabia or are they off limits? Everyone has known about the flexible way that Turkey deals with the issue of human rights, but they have been assured that the EU will look again at their application to join....surely this should be the nail in the coffin of their ambition to join? ...
