GREAT! Europe 'coming apart before our eyes', say 30 top intellectuals

Liberal values in Europe face a challenge “not seen since the 1930s”, leading intellectuals from 21 countries have said, as the UK lurches towards Brexit and nationalists look set to make sweeping gains in EU parliamentary elections.

The group of 30 writers, historians and Nobel laureates declared in a manifesto published in several newspapers, including the Guardian, that Europe as an idea was “coming apart before our eyes”.

“We must now will Europe or perish beneath the waves of populism,” the document reads. “We must rediscover political voluntarism or accept that resentment, hatred and their cortege of sad passions will surround and submerge us.”

  2. Poland and Romania are definitely not on board with the EU open migration and refugee acceptance crap. Poland in particular seems like it might be an ideal vacation spot, currently at least. Like central and south America things can change overnight with a single well placed bullet.

      Yes but too cold for me. :) Vietnam is great as long as you stay out of politics, etcetera and forget about guns, but the biggest knives in the world are OK. :) Violent crime is rare but stealing certainly isn't. :)

  4. Society created and supported by white Europeans cannot be sustained by outsiders who have totally different culture and history. The fantasy that all people are alike is a European (and European colonists) thing. No one else in the world believes this.

      Yes and for instance, Vietnamese are highly prejudiced which is fine with me. If you don't want me, I'll keep on going. :)
