The money whores will squeal like pigs if this situation was used to clean out those ill gotten gains. The politicians are far more comfortable with letting the poor suffer than with endangering the 'loadsa bloodmoney' that fuels the London wealth sector.

Your views and where you have found yourself are your problem and for those around you to attempt to navigate. It's not something others have to find any particular relevance in. It's a hole you're dug yourself, there will be no back and forth about it, here or over DM. I'll bring your diversion back to the topic at hand. If you end up with you trying to turn this Russian situation into another ten pager about how terrible ethnic diversity is, when that's at best one dimension of this, you will be guided back on track.

Merkel's decision to flood western Europe with men from the third World has totally broke the Social Contract in the West.

Would you fight to defend Europe ? Cos I would rather drink Russian vodka and cheer from the sidelines
