As an aside, I keep reading that Facebook are using safety checks or something. What does this mean and how does it relate to this incident?

I think it is so people can 'check in' in order to let family and friends know they are safe.

If the EU doesn't control its own borders, staying in gave us little to no control by extension. That's the key issue.

We aren't part of Schengen. It makes no difference whatsoever.

Being part of Schengen is neither here nor there. Schengen is an area within the European mainland where borders have been removed between countries. Anyone with a valid EU Passport is entitled to go to any other EU country regardless of Schengen, so anyone with an EU passport may rock up to a UK border, be asked to produce the EU Passport, and let through if they have one.

They may be struggling to control immigration but they can choose who becomes a citizen.

It's relatively easy to get your hands on a fake EU passport, once in you can go where you like.

Thanks for the explanations re Facebook.

I've just re-read the Rivers of Blood speech, it seems strangely prophetic of late.

Indeed it does.

So you believe the black man has the whip hand over the white man?

He foresaw immigration creating resentment and unrest, on the general sentiment he would appear to have been correct.

I am merely making a historical observation.

And a very correct observation.

If only todays politicians had the same conviction we might not be in the situation we are now in.

I've not seen the whole thread, just come to it. Does Germany have an armed force ( America) or one like ours, with special units?

I'm afraid you have Digga to thank for bringing up the EU in this thread.

No it isn't.

Armed police force. Pretty much all mainland European countries have full time armed Police.

Can't you just breathe in slowly and stop the bickering?

One way or another there is a ststrom brewing and pics of laughing girls aren't helpful.

I assume that's the only way he gets any pleasure in his life. It must be a very miserable existence to spend your whole life just ranting about things and trying your hardest to upset people......

Just as well that we know he's only a troll.

The short version is that it took a Swedish journalist an hour to get in touch with someone dealing with fake Swedish passports and IDs.

The big worry is that Islamic terrorists will look like fluffy bunnies if the German far-right start to gather momentum. Especially now they have allies in former Eastern Bloc states, too.

Not judging by the economic PMI data today. Ours plummeted and is signalling a recession, Germany and the Eurozone continued with growth.

So much for they need us more than we need them.

It's a done deal, learn to live with it.

Also stop posting your remainer crap everywhere, it's getting very tedious.

Looks like 11 dead, many more injured.

Still nothing from Merkel. Doubt her career will survive this.

armed forces plus multiple special units (SEK, GSG9 and BFE+ are all present)

They do, they are very good and very well funded but tend to keep their heads down, they used to be a defence force, not sure if that changed.

Be interesting to see how EU governments would deal with it. They've stepped around the 'Islam issue' as quite rightly it is not all Muslims, just a dangerous minority causing the problems. Will they be so careful with right wing politics? Or will it be the excuse they need to outlaw the likes of UKIP, Front National etc?

No they won't, the lefties in charge of the EU will act with great speed to stamp out any far-right actions.....you can be sure of that.

Thanks chaps.
