We generally don't have burning cars and police no-go areas here, so I'm not sure whether you have the correct impression of the UK...

When I lived in London 3 cars were torched in my street (nice area in North London) don't remember that making even local news.

I think that the whole European political class have too much invested in this project to quit now. And no backup plan.
Behind the nice stuff about humanitarian superpowers and compassion for the world's needy and displaced Europe needs people. Our population is aging, meaning millions more people entitled to generous but unfunded pensions. We are also having less children meaning fewer tax payers to fund them and the rest of the overburdened welfare state. Not to mention that the children we do have stay in education until early middle age and/or spend years unemployed.
Millions of young people desperate to improve their lot in life beating a path to Europe was manna from heaven for those faced with filling that hole.
This solution rests on the arrogant assumption that cultural differences are merely superficial and in a few years these migrants will be happily paying taxes and staffing old people's homes. If this doesn't happen, and the early indications aren't great, then there appears to be no plan B.

My responses tonight have been brought to you by Red wine - Australian as since June 24th as I said I would I haven't touched any French wines
Now you've gone too far, I voted to leave the EU, not the wine growing regions of France.
When we have left I'll drink what I like again

Europe does not need more people to pay taxes to fund the pensions. Greece, Spain and Portugal have millions of 18-25 year olds unemployed!!Behind the nice stuff about humanitarian superpowers and compassion for the world's needy and displaced Europe needs people.

Apparantly it's our fault.
"What is immediately apparent about these young men is that they haven’t imported their problem culture to Sweden from the poverty-stricken districts of Afghanistan or the bombed-out suburbs of Aleppo, but from the US and the UK. “A lot of them were born in Britain,” says Amir Zujovic, part of the large police presence keeping the peace in the suburb. “It’s not unusual if you catch someone selling drugs, when you look at their record, you see that they have also committed crimes in England.”"

Not seen that angle on it before. I would say most of the trouble makers are Swedish born second or even third generation immigrants from Northern Africa and Middle East, with some newly arrived thrown in for good measure."What is immediately apparent about these young men is that they haven’t imported their problem culture to Sweden from the poverty-stricken districts of Afghanistan or the bombed-out suburbs of Aleppo, but from the US and the UK. “A lot of them were born in Britain,” says Amir Zujovic, part of the large police presence keeping the peace in the suburb. “It’s not unusual if you catch someone selling drugs, when you look at their record, you see that they have also committed crimes in England.”"

Best one today. Brilliant!Grumbledoak
Hopefully that will not be very much longer, but a lot of damage is already done. This crisis should have been dealt with 20 or 30 years ago.

Well they already have the right to go and work in Germany or Sweden. Their governments deem it better to pay them benefits so they can protest against Trump and get more degrees.

Användandet av handgranater bland kriminella i Sverige saknar motstycke i världen bland länder som inte är i krig.

The use of handgrenades among criminals in Sweden unparalleled in the world among countries not at war

So far today one handgrenade was found outside a police station in a suburb to Stockholm, and just now a handgrenade detonation was heard in Malmö.
