I applaud Hungary closing its border with Serbia today, saying those wanting to cross have to register in that country they are in, that they have reached safety and should settle there. It's all very well Merkel saying she will take them all, 800,000 of them, and starting this sudden mass exodus from so many countries, whether they are refugees or not, because Germany want to hand-pick those because of their ageing population, the crisis they face soon of not enough future tax payers in the country. Instead of making out Germany are the saviours in this crisis, they should have come clean and told them they only want the young men and women who can work and fit in with their plans. What she said has multiplied the problem to eppic proportions and can now never be undone.

Thanks again Germany.
