If this happens what then, or will most countries be better off without the EU, I know some Brits who believe they should leave. I suppose most of the people could’ve told the politicians what would happen with an open border policy. Also read that anti Semitism is on the rise (again) due to this.
Who is going to tell Merkel “I told you”

I guess Hitler's dream of a united Europe under Germany lasting for 1000 years is beginning to falter again?

View from a different source.

Meanwhile, let’s keep some perspective. Even the most aggressive estimate of the number of asylum seekers involved in the Cologne incidents still leaves more than 1,099,500 newly admitted refugees in Germany who had nothing to do with what happened.

Merkel has done the right thing. Where would Europe be today with 1.1 million desperate people trudging from closed border to closed border? The Western responsibility for the Syrian debacle is immense. Her decision, alone among leaders, implicitly acknowledges this fact. Germany, over the past quarter-century, has absorbed 16 million former East Germans and ushered them from the paranoid, subjugated mind-set of the Soviet imperium. Its large Turkish community is unevenly integrated, but ever better with the years. Germany will handle the current influ

I think there's a vote in the U.K. coming up not sure if its 2016 or 2017. The EU is good for trade deals but then there are the billions in membership fees, free movement across borders was supposed to be a good thing but the migrant invasion has changed that. Brits were narrowly in favour of leaving but I think it would be a great majority now.

David Cameron has promised an in/out referendum on EU membership by the end of 2017 but the exact timing of the poll hinges on when agreement is reached with the EU's 27 other members over the UK's proposed package of reforms, including curbs on EU migrants' welfare entitlements.

I think the EU countries will have to stay together to stop the Middle East migrants from taking over Europe. The idea of accepting so many migrants from such different cultures will have to end.

How odd this Canadian incident didn't make the national news. Is it simply crime or is there a cultural difference aspect to it, as in Germany? Are we more "sensitive" now than when the Montreal family killed their daughters on a trip to Niagara Falls a few years ago?

I wouldn't be surprised if there is a cover up here as in Europe.
