Monthly rate of 72,000 seems likely, as that would be a an annual rate of 864,000 and 800,000 annual is the bare limit of what Germany can handle with reasonable dignity and the resources available to it. It is also a number that would be meaningful to Turkey, whilst 72,000 annual would make no difference either way and 72,000 daily is pointless in the other direction, being no limit. Saying 72,000 without specifying monthly or annual should be a way of keeping Europeans apathetic as 800,000 a year is actually what got them off their behinds for once, and I suppose this is just the next step once the Europeans have got back on the bums with 800,000 Syrians, an open door to 75M Turks and none of the other routes closed and deportation or processing in limbo

It's the same thing every time.
I could probably just post shit we said in 2014 and it'd still be exactly as relevant.
European leaders want more, and find justification afterwards.

It's just boring at this point. It doesn't matter what happens, who dies, who covers up what, who does what in the open, who says what, who does what, it's just the same :P

2016 will be in a nutshell:

But is is certainly a solution that Europe wants, given how much benefits Turkey is to get in return for "dealing with the refugee problem".

Either that, or European leadership has become extremely dumb, for not realizing the simplest of consequences that actions have.

I said it before: this is not even the first time this kind of thing happens. The Morocco regimee has been dumping deported immigrants in the desert for years on behalf of European countries, and getting special prerogatives in return.

Anyone from France here? Is it true that the El-Komri law intends to remove the mandatory leave after 24 hours of uninterrupted work?

The social democrat left is in decline all across Europe.

The economist mourns.

Diversity is now in some parrts of Europe seen as a threat. Diversity comes with challenges. But diversity is humanity's destiny. There is not going to be, even in the remotest places of this planet, a nation that will not see diversity in its future. That's where humanity is heading. And those politicians trying to sell to their electorates, a society that is exclusively composed of people of one culture, are trying to portray a future based on a past that never existed, therefore that future will never be. Europe will be diverse, like all other parts of the world will be diverse, the only question is how do we deal with that diversity. And my answer to that is by ensuring that our values determine how we deal with diversity, and not giving up our values to refuse diversity. That will bring us down as a society, if we don't get this right, I truly believe Europe will not remain the Europe we have built. Europe will not remain the place of peace and freedom for very long.

Greece will start sending back refugees to Turkey coming monday. They fear heavy resistance and people fighting till death, because the refugees *really* don't want to go to Turkey. To prevent serious escalation, the Greekish police will be dispatched on a 1:1 basis. One police officer per one refugee.

Considering the numbers of refugees, sounds like they'd have to use ENTIRE police departments of multiple cities and towns.....

Also, it's just 'Greek', not 'Greekish'. English is funny in that way sometimes.

Yeah I guess if you want to rob a bank in Greece, next week would be the time to do it. There'll likely be no police left to do normal police work.

Ohwait nvm. In mother Greecia, bank rob you.

In more local news, the Dutch coastguard managed to escort a pair of whales that were in danger of stranding, swimming towards the river delta, back into open waters.
They used an inversed wedge formation of ships to try and coerce the animals in the right direction, and it worked.
Last year unprecedented numbers of whales have stranded and died along the north sea coast. Marine biologists are baffled, and working hard to determine what's causing this increase in beachings.

Isn't it obvious? These "whale-ish" refugees are trying to get to our EU shores.

It's almost like this idiot is trying to start a war. These internationalist rats will stop at nothing to destroy the European peoples and cultures, and that leaves those people with nothing but nationalism and violence.

Well you see, there are some people who treat "diversity" as a bad thing. Because you see, they fear that in an event of such "diversification", their own little "values and cultures" would not be able to withstand the fair competition with the others; in other words, they don't believe in ability of their own nations and their people to withstand a real test of time.

It's really quite ironic that these people tend to hide behind a moniker of a "nationalist" most of the time, because such a world-view pretty much requires a deep lack of trust in their own nation.

Cultures cannot complement each other when they are forced together into an amorphous blob. The result is the destruction of all of them, and the people who believe they would benefit from such a divided and weak world are, of course, those in power in the EU who are pushing for it.
