It is true that many governments in Europe have adopted a heads-in-the-sand approach to the problems arising from mass migration, but there are signs that may be changing, due in part to increasing pressure from public opinion. Mr Pike is certainly wrong to claim that the recent riots in London and the appalling double rape of a young girl in Birmingham were not reported in the “mainstream media”. Several of Britain’s leading daily newspapers carried reports of these incidents, as did the BBC.
I suppose that some people instinctively tend towards the “we’re all doomed” scenario, while others, and hopefully the majority, take a more positive outlook regarding the great issues of the day.
