Dr Alf makes interesting points about the so called Refugee Crisis and the EU’s response.He also makes a point about the recent BREXIT vote and wonders whether the result might have been different with different handling of that Refugee Crisis.

In the first place, the problems in Syria came about because the West wanted to build an oil pipeline which President Assad refused to allow. That triggered to so called civil war, the injection of Western special forces, the actions of ISIS funded by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan and Kuwait and the training, support and resupply of the Syrian rebels by Turkey, UK and USA who have collectively decided to Balkanise Syria into 3 enclaves, replace President Assad and then move onto Iran.

The invitation by President Assad to Russia to assist militarily to stop his country from being dismembered has meant increased fighting and more refugees.

By encouraging the refugees to come Angela Merkel, the most powerful woman in Europe, has created an industrial sized people smuggling and identity theft business which is bring in economic migrants from 180 different countries. Her failure to do anything about the results of the maelstrom that she and stupid and complacent EU leaders have created has caused the present problem which the Gulf States and Turkey have further exploited for their own ends.

BREXIT was going to happen anyway because the EU failed to deliver on its original promises, on the Greek financial crises and on jobs.

They have said one thing and in secret done another and even the most stupid people instinctively know this to be the case.

The truth is that you cannot “tackle ethnic segregation” because people live where they choose to live which is typically amongst their own. People with money gravitate to prosperous and leafy areas and to expensive areas of London and major cities. This means that unless you close the income and wealth gaps considerably no-one else can live in these areas leaving the poor and dispossessed to fester in run down slums,old council housing and properties owned by private landlords.

Closing the income gap means raising the rate of export led job creation and raising productivity of workers. Bosses seem rather too reluctant to get out of comfortable boardrooms and sell things and too many Britons are lazy,obese and unproductive. Until this changes ethnic segregation will remain and it will remain because of hiring prejudice against promoting people who are different to executive positions.

Mrs May’s “Hail fellow well met ” ,”I’m a Parson’s daughter routine” is not going to do the job -stern conversations, calling in bosses and giving them some very frank home truths, unpopular legislation, the end of rewards for failure and the end of the moratorium on calling British workers lazy and unproductive is just the start and would take a generation of bruising encounters to fix.

Mrs Thatcher made a start but much of her good work was undone by Blair, Brown and Cameron all of whom shied away from telling difficult truths.

As a non betting man I think Mrs May has good intentions but lacks time and the “stones” to deal effectively with the bigger question that underlies the one that Dr Alf has posed.

Ethnic segregation like Lord Sugar’s search for his ideal apprentice and the quest for the “Pink Unicorn” are set to continue until long after the Almighty has “retired ” Dr Alf and myself to perpetual retirement.
