   @HebrideanHecate @Flick posted a link to a very good article a few days ago, about how Germany is ruled by a frozen consensus, and how that consensus paints anyone pointing out problems as a fringe extremist.

   Unless the governing parties start pulling their heads out of their arses, AfD will only continue to grow. Same with any other political force that comes along and starts talking against the consensus.

     @Gnomeshatecheese @Flick I saw that, and it was absolutely right too. The whole thing is so concerning. The wilful blindness and being in thrall to all these nefarious noisy toerags, waving their oppression banners.

     Knife attacks. Car attacks. Hamas and ISIS plots. Germany has been hit by one act of terrorism after another over the past year, fuelled by the resurgence of Islamist extremism and an unhinged asylum policy. Here, spiked’s Tom Slater lays bare the scale of the threat in Germany today, and the tough questions this raises about migration and integration. Those still struggling to understand why the right-wing AfD is surging in Germany need only look at the old ruling elites, who have failed catastrophically to keep their own citizens safe.
