I was talking to another woman yesterday while waiting for the train. She’s an American who had just returned from 20 years abroad ( Germany ) and she’s ready to go back because, as she put it, “I don’t even recognise my own country anymore. In Europe, if you don’t work, they send you home! What the hell is this”?- while gesturing at the large group of unemployed ( and doubtlessly illegal ) young men gathered across the street from us. I love my country and would never leave, but I understand her frustration.

In Europe, if you don’t work, they send you home!

I guess she doesn't read the same articles I do; nor get the same emails from Euro relatives that I do. Both continually point out the freeloading and perks handed out to the 'kings of the road' (mostly illegal) "immigrants".

Malmo is in Europe. So is the Paris suburb of Clichy-sous-Bois, along with the rest. So is London and Birmingham, and Luton, England UK.

Maybe she was referring to the German policy of cutting off benefits to women who refuse to take a "job" in the "sex industry".

Or, maybe she was referring to selective enforcement, against Christians and/or Americans?
