After instant compassion, could it be that some sensibility has now finally kicked in?

They'd better look out. Captain Euro will be after them.

We're observing one of the strangest phenomenons in history: the suicide of a whole culture.

More a self appointed elite murdering their culture, vetuste?
With a lot of help from fools.

AOG You have used the word "sensibility",which does not seem to be what you intended here.

It means compassion,so your post does not make sense.
Not a lot unusual about that though.

The Germans have no sense of humour like the British have.

Wearing the "Merka" lol

[vetuste_ennemi]

Yes, have seen Captain Euro before (possibly from one your posts, Svejk).
I thought at first it was an attempt to parody the sickness called "The Euro Project". But it's for real, isn't it? You couldn't make it up!

If you are referring to Frau Merkel, surely not a mere Captain?

Someone's taking the ***. Or rather, extracting the Eurine.

It does not, it means 'Mental Responsiveness and awareness'.

But then how would you know when you put:

/// Not a lot unusual about that though. ///

Shouldn't that have been:

"Nothing unusual about that though".

Sorry for the mistake, I posted before I spotted your link.

// Passau’s railway station has a sign proclaiming: “Refugees Welcome”//

Perhaps the sign should be amended to 'Passout'.

AOG Chambers Dictionary .... Sensibility - sensitiveness,sensitivity;capacity of feeling or emotion;readiness and delicacy of emotional response;sentimentality( usually in plural )feelings that can be hurt.

I think that you meant sense.!!

I am sure that AOG meant sense. It was only to be expected when reality kicked in. We face the extinction of Western culture and values. It is high time that people realised this.

It seems reality has kicked in. To be honest it was probably apparent (if somewhat dormant) in most of the population all along. It’s just that citizens in EU countries have become used to being told what to do and how to think that the latest “welcome them” diktat was probably filed among all the rest.

How any country or group of countries can be expected to absorb hundreds of thousands of foreign migrants – whatever their reason for travelling – in just a few months beggars belief. Do politicians think there are hundreds of thousands of dwellings just lying empty; do they think their hospitals, schools, doctors’ surgeries and transport systems have spare capacity just waiting for new arrivals? Most importantly, do they think their populations should unconditionally welcome such numbers of people who will cause irrevocable damage to the communities they have worked hard to build and whose values, habits and way of life are so completely different to their own?

This fiasco is of epic proportions. As I first said many months ago, Europe is being invaded and the gutless, spineless Euromaniacs have now presided over two of the biggest disasters of recent times. They have seen the fiscal integrity of some member nations reduced to ruins and now, because of their ridiculous free movement dogma they have allowed mainland Europe to be saddled with hundreds of thousands (and still counting) of people they have not a hope in hell of properly accommodating.

Oh, and I’m still waiting for Mr & Mrs Balls to take delivery of the Syrian family they promised they would welcome into one of their homes. Maybe they’ve had a reality check too.

The evaporated welcome culture doesn't seem to have reached the church of England yet !.

Someone in our village is having a jumble sale in aid of 'the refugees' - she is getting very worried as the response has been lukewarm.
