He's just listing news items, the interpretation part is small. Like with the misconduct of north African men in Munich in January this year [0], you can't argue that they are not due to immigration. But somehow you're not allowed to speak of it. Somehow, you have to be intelligent, open AND politically correct, that doesn't match. It will never lead to and honest dialog if some facts may be said aloud and others may not.

And I agree, Farage is just against the undemocratic, far from the people but not far from lobbyists, will make us eat American pesticides via ttip -EU that it is becoming. And what big bureaucratic institution will not become like that?

Jumping into conversation with pre-existing lists of talking points is tedious and destroys real discourse. It's always predictable and ideologically driven; it has nothing to do with listening to what someone else has to say, considering it, and responding with something relevant. Those two processes may look similar on the surface but they're fundamentally incompatible, and the one we want here is thoughtful conversation.
