#1 Most observers in the mainstream media (MSM) provide an occidentocentric analysis of the facts. They depict the youths as outsiders who want to be brought into Western society and have the same rights as the natives of Old Europe. The MSM believe that the youths are being treated unjustly because they are not a functioning part of Western society. They claim that, in spite of positive discrimination, subsidies, public services, schools, and all the provisions that have been made for immigrants over the years, access has been denied them.
This is the Marxist rhetoric of the West that has been predominant in the media and the chattering classes since the 1960s. But it does not fit the facts of the situation in Europe today

This is a good article. It shows that the winds are changing in Europe as well as America. I think it particularly interesting the reference to the MSM as "they". Most citizens are beginning to accept as fact the MSM and ivory tower elites are no longer representative of the views of average citizens. Cake anyone?

#2 I got kinda discombobulated reading this. Isn't France the country doing the mass deportations and employing their Napoleonic laws to throttle the jihadis? Hasn't Britain been one of only two EU countries who had citizens blown up by jihadis - and the site of several bungled or discovered plots?

Pretty weird to point the finger at France when there's at least as much official kowtowing and failure or nerve in the UK. Carbecues are pretty flashy stuff, yeah, but the UK is sinking without even the obligatory whimper. News Flash for Melanie: It's not the UK press under-reporting French jihadi grief that's the problem, it's your dumbfuck UK PCism -- that's the story not being covered or dealt with. Or that's my take, anyway.

#4 I'm glad she wrote it. France and Belgium are in deep trouble, no denying that. However, it's truly laughable that she makes it sound as though Britain has no problems. Huh? A 15 year old taken off the street, murdered and burned. And, no outcry ? Just like the incident in France a year or so ago where a French youngster(Jewish to boot) was kidnapped, tortured and murdered. Nothing done. These damn fools think the wolf will always go to the house next door ? Brits on the way to allowing the largest mosk in Eurabia without a whimper ? These people were all blindsided by their multicultural rot, not realizing how Muzzies function. Only compliant until their numbers rise. Has been the same throughout history. Maybe that's what lacking in civilization today. No knowledge of history or appreciation of the sacrifices and hardships endured by ancient ancestors to reach the heights of today. The only bright spot is the voice from the Brussels Journal, of all places. Some real clarity. I hope the right wing group gains power. Something has to be done fast. I fully believe this will happen in Germany also. Britain ? Who knows ?

#5 I think that the problem here isn't that people are not outraged - though the PC rot is certainly a part of the problem. I think the problem is that the MSM is actively working for the other side. They've done a good job of gobbling up just about every news outlet and wire. I don't mean all of the individual reporters or even the publishers themselves. I just think that they are given guidelines about what and where they get their news and they just fill in the blanks not always knowing they are pawns.

And too many politicians were put into office with money that doesn't represent the average Brit/Frenchman/American interests.

It's tough for the average person like you or me to get anything going when you can't have your voice heard. I mean - what are you gonna do - call your friends and say let's get together and march? The media won't cover it anyway. But it makes me mad, because then instead of measured responses, we will get rioting an senseless violence followed by seething,and more violence.

#6 .com - Phillips's article's focus was Islamist unrest on the continent, at the end she said, wrt the UK:

Just across the channel, therefore, there is mayhem: a religious war, escalating violence and gross intimidation, supine or ineffectual public authorities locked into a state of denial, and a growing climate of political violence and anarchy.

In other recent articles, she has already stated that the British establishment has taken leave of its senses.
