I think Clouseau must think that the German police should have expected this sort of behavior at every railway station regardless...a
strange attitude really, possibly racist

Hmmm.... in the wake of recent events and having received specific intelligence from both the USA and France that there was a threat to the rail network in the country, I humbly suggest that a bit of extra vigilance would have been a minimal requirement at all major train stations.

However, somehow, it seems apparent that a group of up to 1,000 young men ran amok, including mass sexual assault and the setting off of fireworks, without raising the eyebrows of the authorities who didn't seem to notice.

a grammatical mistake no doubt - but the first part will be soon resemble Germany when it hits the fan in months to come

As you know I am always intrigued by the presentation of news. Take SKYISLAM news.  They are forensically picking over corbyn and the shadow cabinet.
They have done a long rambling forensic examination of daesh new technology advances to scare us more yet the report on cologne is a bland quick minute or so with no mention of muslim gangs etc, just a very quick second about arab/african looking men.  Also included a german minister trying to play it all down.

Another slant.  Skyislam has now done two long reports on daesh in two days. I smell something very political about this.  They are concentrating on daesh as the EVIL one. Softening us up for when they get rid of them and then claim the 'MODERATE' rebels are just the job to take over in syria!!!  Just a thought.
Don't they think other groups aren't up to similar experimental technology etc.  But it is ONLY daesh that are doing it??   Obviously much more to this then is superficially shown to us.

I'm with you mobo regarding the presentation of the news (and even the presentation of the presentation of the news if we want to get really @n@l about the whole thing).

Like Joe Strummer taught me - Question Everything!

So for example, the much derided BBC News reports 'that the men involved were of Arab or North African appearance'. (I know! this from the bastion of 'luvviedom'!)

Yet go to examiner.com and you get right into Donald Trump territory with reports stating:

This horrifying epidemic of rape and sexual assault across Europe is getting worse, as rapes have skyrocketed in England, Sweden and Norway after they took in large numbers of Muslim refugees and migrants from the Middle East and North Africa. Under sharia law, it's OK to rape any non-Muslim woman because they are "infidels."

Rapes in Sweden and Norway — two of the most feminist and gender-equal countries in the world — have soared in recent years as their Muslim refugee and migrant populations have mushroomed.

Sweden, which once boasted extremely low instances of rape, is now considered the "rape capital of the West." Gang rapes in Sweden have soared between 1995 and 2006, and culprits in most cases were immigrants from Muslim countries.


All my emphasis, but just watch out for agenda peddaling from whatever your source.

Headline news in the D/M now

Set your sensors to 'Extreme Liberal' i.e Liberal in the true meaning of the word - small government, autonomy, general freedom ('freedom from' as well as 'freedom to') - as opposed to the dopey supposed-insult it's become on here with the purveyors seemingly believing it means the exact opposite.

Indeed roger. Classic liberalism is the term I believe.

Will the BBC give them the same treatment as the Chelsea supporters on Paris underground received or is that kind of behaviour acceptable In the BBC. Thinking back to all the stuff they turned a blind eye to the answer must be yes.

Whoops I mean no

Didn't remain the headline news for long

Adolf would know what to do ....

Angela Merkel to receive prestigious Four Freedoms Award

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — German Chancellor Angela Merkel has been named as this year's recipient of a prestigious international award, with organizers lauding her "great moral leadership" in Germany and pivotal role in tackling the crises buffeting Europe.

The Dutch-based Roosevelt Foundation says Merkel will receive the International Four Freedoms Medal at a ceremony in April. In a statement announcing the award Wednesday, the foundation praised Merkel for her role in the European financial and migrant crises, for leading efforts to bring peace to conflict-torn Ukraine and for showing "great moral leadership as chancellor of all Germans regardless of faith and ethnicity."

Previous winners of the award include U.S. Presidents Harry S. Truman and John F. Kennedy, South African leader Nelson Mandela and former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan.

Jesus Christ on a friday!!!! this is as bad as Blair being a 'PEACE' envoy.

I think that's all to come, hitmanhearn.

More to the point is why doesn't the majority of Germany's supposed peace-loving muslims do something to stop their extremist brethren from giving them all a bad name?  The reason, of course, is that they condone such actions, loyalty to their cancerous faith must be put first and foremost and everyone else can go to Hell.
