    I know nothing about "Tweets" and if and how they can or cannot be manipulated.

    An analysis of the "Tweet" numbers " indicating the desirability of European countries for the new "refugees".

    Firstly the overall best country guide, allegedley:



    As you can see the numbers are indicating that Germany is the No. 1 country to head too or the most talked about.


    Secondly analysis of who actually tweeted
    , by country, sugesting Germany was the No. 1 country to head too or the most talked about.



    So either the contents of the tweet are not "Germany is the place to go" or some people not in Germany are suggesting to the tweeting crowd - Go to Germany it's much nicer than here !

    Who would do such a thing.

    "1. Russia said only two days ago that America “uses disinformation to destabilise régimes in every corner of the world”

    2. America….which is said to be concerned that Germany and France are moving away from American influence towards a more independent Russia policy…and which of course owes Germany rather a lot of gold.

    3. UK, where Cameron would love to be negotiating with a more humble Merkel for the next round of ‘treaty change’ haha negotiations?"

    Sent him a email the other day saying you should be jumping all around here now, his response being he couldn't be bothered,as they don't know shit.
    Yes I did make a contribution. It was about PC, a subject you raised. Pointing out the chidish prattle about other posters (in this case, myself) may bother the children who make them, but then they shouldn't prattle on expecting a free ride. Two or three posts, some by you, that were made about mine are suitable for the fate you think my observations on PC deserve. So check your own content, mate, before you fly off on embarassing rants just because you've got your foot stuck in your own mess.

    I'am starting to like this guy. He forgot to mention that Merkel's days are counted.




    Migrant crisis: Donald Trump says Angela Merkel's commitment to refugees 'insane'

    Ali Elkin
    Published: October 12, 2015 - 6:33AM
    United States Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump has criticised Germany's commitment to take in 800,000 refugees and migrants this year, including many displaced from the ongoing civil war in Syria.
    "I love a safe zone for people," Mr Trump said on Sunday. "I do not like the migration. I do not like the people coming. Frankly, look, Europe's going to have to handle it, but they're going to have riots in Germany. What's happening in Germany, I always thought Merkel was, like, this great leader. What she's done in Germany is insane. It's insane."
    Mr Trump also said he would likely support a no-fly zone over Syria, and blamed the refugee crisis, in part, on US President Barack Obama for not using military force after it was learnt Syrian President Bashar al-Assad appeared to have used chemical weapons against his own people.
    "Well, you know, the time to have done it would have been when he drew the line in the sand," Mr Trump said on CBS's Face the Nation. "I might have gone in. Yeah, I think it's terrible. When you start using that, I think it's terrible."
    In a National CBS poll out Sunday, Mr Trump continues to hold his lead over fellow Republican Ben Carson, but by a similar smaller margin to other recent polls. CBS found 27 per cent support for Mr Trump and 21 per cent support for Dr Carson. Senator Ted Cruz, a Republican from Texas, came in third in the poll with 9 per cent support.
    The CBS poll found Dr Carson was the top second choice among Mr Trump's supporters.

    Migrant crisis: UK response criticised by senior former judges

    Some of the UK's top former judges and lawyers have criticised the government response to the migrant crisis.

    Lord Phillips, former UK Supreme Court head, and Lord Macdonald, ex-director of public prosecutions, are among 300 to sign a letter on the issue.

    They say the offer to accept 20,000 refugees over five years is not enough. One former judge suggested the UK could take in 75,000 refugees a year.

    The government said it had been at the forefront of the global response.

    In addition to offering to accept 20,000 refugees from camps bordering war-torn Syria, it has provided £1bn in aid to Syria, with an extra £100m being given to charities to help thousands of people displaced by the conflict.

    'Shared responsibility'
    The open letter to the press has been signed by more than 300 lawyers, QCs and retired judges. Other signatories include the former president of the European Court of Human Rights, Sir Nicolas Bratza.

    One of the signatories, retired judge Catriona Jarvis, told BBC Radio 4's Today Programme the government's response to the refugee crisis had been "too slow and too narrow".

    She said Britain could accept many more refugees.

    "Around the Balkan crisis we were receiving around 75,000 a year. It was within our capability. We managed it well," she said.

    "We are the sixth or seventh richest country in the world, it is not beyond our capabilities to make the necessary changes to receive our share.

    "International protection, it is a shared duty, a shared responsibility."

    Sir Stephen Sedley, former Lord Justice of the Court of Appeal, said: "As a stable and prosperous country, we can do better than this."

    The first of the Syrian refugees arrived in the UK at the end of September.

    Eventually the UK will have to take about 400 refugees a month in order to meet its 20,000 target by 2020.

    The refugees will be brought to the UK from camps in countries neighbouring Syria, with those being resettled selected by the UN on the basis of need.

    Is that "aid" sent to the democratically elected government of Syria or "aid" to the terrorists trying to inflict regime change in Syria.

    If it's "non lethal aid" does it include the pickup trucks instantly transformed into lethal killing machines by the addition of a few well chosen "extras".

    We might differ in our definition of democratically elected government or terrorists but you got a point there.

    Guess more white Lexuses and inflated pay packages to civil servants and fok all to help the population.

    Are you for real? Gas some who don't believe in your fake germania, why you prefer Ferrari over volksvagen, yourself?

    Germany is target country for immigrant because Germany promotes that image and invites them to get cheap labour. Shitty thing is that when they arrive and see how poor their living conditions are, they go to richer Denmark, who rightly denies them, so they go more richer countries like Sweden and Finland who must bear the burden of failed German foreign policy. Having some strong connections with Germany, I hear they are not particularly happy either.

    PC is just another way of saying well-mannered, respectful, and considerate. It's hardly surprising that those who are incapable of any of those things should use it as a pejorative.

    Makes My blood boil when I heard this on the news.
    The Human rights lawyers, along with immigration lawyers make a fortune out of this floatsum swill.
    They don't give a Fck about the English or economic invaders, it's all about the money that they want to make.

    Comparing migration from 1815/1932 to 2015 is idiotic.




    Asylum seekers file lawsuit against Berlin's largest registration center

    Refugees have filed a lawsuit against Berlin's largest registration center for failing to register them, a necessary step to receiving social benefits. An official said the court has seen similar cases in the past month.

    At least 20 asylum seekers have filed a lawsuit against the Berlin State Office for Health and Social Affairs - the authority in charge of administering the refugee influx - for failing to register them promptly, a court official said on Monday.
    The official said that similar cases had been received by the court in the past weeks, though he added that Monday's filing is the largest the court has seen.
    A decision on the asylum seekers' case is expected from the court before the end of October.
    The asylum seekers that filed the suit said they must be registered in order to receive social benefits, including housing, citing a lack of monetary resources to sustain a livelihood for the coming weeks.
    Local authorities have said that they are struggling to cope with the influx of refugees from war-torn countries in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
    Between 800,000 and a million refugees are expected to arrive in Germany in 2015 , with Syrians comprising the largest group of asylum seekers.
    German Chancellor Angela Merkel has witnessed falling approval ratings for her open-door policy to refugees, with a handful of her conservative allies criticizing her administration's response to the crisis.

    At least their getting transport put on for them in the UK.



    Serco apologises after hiring stretch limo for asylum seekers.

    A Home Office contractor has apologised for the "clearly inappropriate" decision to hire a stretch limo to take a group of asylum seekers from London to Manchester.
    Serco said the move had not cost the taxpayer any extra money and that it was a one-off.
    Seven African men were transported in a 16-seat Hummer from a hotel to their new homes, the Daily Mail reported.
    They had been staying in the hotel while their claims were processed.
    No additional cost
    New procedures have been introduced to prevent it happening again, Serco said.
    The asylum seekers were staying in the village of Longford near Heathrow, which has been used as a temporary stopping-off point for new arrivals.
    Pub landlord Rana Saif told the Mail: "The limo was here for about half an hour. I thought it must be a stag do. There were seven migrants, all young African men.
    "The driver said he was going to take them to Manchester and he was being paid £3,000. He said the Home Office would pay him."

    ^ why wouldn't you want to come to the UK when you're treated so well...



    Of course, our OAPs who have paid tax all their lives are treated very differently.

    As mentioned before - the cvnts profiting from the crisis fvckin love it.

    My mate has a company. He hired out some equipment to the NHS.

    They kept it for 4 years and paid him 7 grand. The equipment cost 100 quid.

    Not totally related - but along the same lines.

    Cream off the taxpaying workers and feather their own nests.

    "EU and Turkey agree ‘migrant action’ plan

    The European Union and Turkey have agreed an "action plan" along with Turkey to deal with the flow of refugees, European Council President Donald Tusk announced. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said that the two side have arranged to “open new chapters of accession talks,” Reuters repots, but no specifics have been agreed on so far. The EU is considering some €3 billion ($3.4 billion) for Turkey to help it deal with refugees and to prevent them from heading towards Europe, Merkel said. Turkey has accommodated more than two million Syrian refugees, spending over €7 billion (nearly $8 billion). So far it has received only €1 billion ($1.1 billion) in external aid."




    The "accession" of whom, the Turkish leader?




    The "aid" should buy a few white pickups.

    An Afghan migrant was shot dead while entering Bulgaria from Turkey, Bulgarian media say.
    The man was shot near the town of Sredets in the south-east of Bulgaria, Agence France-Presse and Bulgarian media reported.
    The public BNR radio station said (in Bulgarian) that the man was one of 48 who had entered from Turkey.
    The interior ministry is expected to hold a briefing on the shooting early on Friday.
    Several Bulgarian news outlets said the man was shot by border guards and died on the way to hospital.
    Georgi Kostov, the interior ministry's chief secretary, told BNR the man was probably killed by the ricochet of a bullet fired as a warning to the migrants.
    Bulgaria's state news agency BTA said that, on hearing the news, Prime Minister Boyko Borissov left an EU summit in Brussels, where the migrant crisis was being discussed.
