Greece opened its first purpose-built detention centre for illegal migrants on Sunday in Athens, a week before a national election where illegal immigration has emerged as a key issue.

About 130,000 immigrants cross the country's porous sea and land borders every year, the vast majority via Turkey, and the authorities are forced to release those who are arrested because of a lack of permanent housing.

With Greece in its fifth year of recession and worries over rising crime levels, illegal immigration has become a major issue in the run up of the May 6 election.

Well, that's one way to do it.

If Europe really implodes (and I think this is likely), there will be camps in many locations.

Enoch Powell was right, and this isn't going to be pretty.

So it begins ...

First "detention camps" ... primarily for illegal (arabic residents)

then wave after wave of terrorist reprials against European Governments .. and the Catholic Church ...

then more arrests, prision camps, deportations by the ship load ...

Iran smuggles a tactical nuke into Paris ...

as Paris burns ... and France launches a nuclear counter-strike ...

"all hell" breaks loose ...
