The king never dies.- William Blackstone, Commentaries, IV. 249
In August 2015 Angela Merkel announced that Europe was open to refugees and she declared, “We can do this”. Much of the media, like the Economist, backed her and said that her move was brave, decisive and right. And yet in 2010 in Potsdam she had made a speech in which she admitted that “the approach to build a multicultural society and to live side-by-side and to enjoy each other has failed, utterly failed”. Douglas Murray, The Strange Death of Europe, p 212 (Page 96)https://theweeflea.com/2017/08/11/the-strange-death-of-europe-part-2-immigration/
The first thing to say about Mr. Trump—against whom the women voluntarily (and children
involuntarily) were demonstrating—is that he seems to be doing what is unforgivable in a democratic politician, for it will make life difficult for all the others who come after him: He is keeping, or trying to keep, his election promises. Could anything better prove his complete lack of probity? - Theodore Dalrymple, Humble Pie in Short Supply
