German Chancellor Angela Merkel said European leaders may commit to a union of “different speeds” when they make a major declaration on its future at a summit in Rome next month.

The European Union has long been riven by debate about whether all countries must commit to full integration including the single currency, or whether some can go at different paces.

The 27 leaders minus Britain are due to make a declaration at the summit in Rome in March marking the 60th anniversary of the EU, in which they will set out a post-Brexit roadmap. …

Europe’s future is going to be a repeat of the time before the Crusades, with the muslims invading and killing millions all over the continent.

Oh boy. Not another ‘bright idea’ from Frau Merkel!
Just look how well her last set of ideas have gone.

No it won’t.

It will be another river of blood and fragmentation into smaller nations, repeating a cycle that has gone on for thousands of years.

Okay. Well Angela may want to take a look at an old Sophia Loren movie called “The Fall of The Roman Empire”.
Lots of do’s and don’ts to contemplate.

>> a summit in Rome next month.

That’s humorous.... it’s immigration that destroyed the Roman Empire.
