about the 1,000s of Migrants arriving in their Country, or are the media not broadcasting their views?

That would seem a NO vote from our Canadian friends then!! Ironic name Mayor Tory :-)
We are led to believe that the Syrian family who drowned of Turkish safe shores were denied access to Canada.Bit late for Mayor Tory to do a Merkel and try to prove what a shining light of compassion he is.
-- answer removed --
wrong to some extent, retro, the Canadians did offer the father sanctuary as his sister is a Canuck - he is the one who has turned it down....guess he he may reconsider in time.
I fear that this song could well be resurrected in Germany, DTC:

Die Fahne hoch! Die Reihen fest geschlossen!
We can hardly be expecting the man to be thinking straight at the moment.

///ex vets reguardless of age are watching..and prepared///

not too sure what ex vets are, but .... ... .. .
This is rather a chilling chronology of events with Germany welcoming the Turks.
How do you think the Syrians will fare in the weeks to come?

Vielleicht, Herr Dohle.
Retro, regarding your post of 2109. Actually, those are comments from some readers of just one paper in one city in one Province in the country. However, it would not surprise me in the least if they were typical views representing the entire country.
DTC - 2nd line doesn't scan too well, otherwise that's brilliant - I've just sung it. Wonder if I can persuade the choir? Perhaps I can substitute the wordsheets (OH and I are the only ones who can read German!).

Then I stand corrected. This is how I read it in this link. The Canadians rejected their application ???

I'm going by what Radio 4 said this morning and, apparently, he repeated it on a Beeb news interview - that he wasn't taking up the Canuck offer.....
jourdain, you can always delete the Hungarian reference.....
Is there no party of the right there to try and make political capital out of the refugees?

Well I suppose when you get the BBC and the Guardian dishing out the propaganda you will never reach the truth.
exactly...and it depends on timing....
Yes sandy. They are mainly called Germans.
My sister lived and worked in Germany for a while in the mid-70's, she still has her German friends and contacts. I'll ask her what they say.

Myself, I have a feeling that Der Volk are hunkering down. I like the German people I know very much. I lived not far from Oradour where an atrocity killed all in the town save a handful (3 or 4 survived - they shut all women and children, including babies, in the church, machine-gunned quite a lot and then set the place ablaze and barricaded the doors.

Point is that a huge number of visitors were Germans, very solemnly educating their children about the horrors of the past and insisting that this must never happen again. This has been drilled in.

They are, however, also, normal people and may well feel that the sins of the fathers have been visited for far too long on the sons, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

I am not to blame for the slave trade etc - my family were slaving on the land and in factories - so I wouldn't apologise for that. I think that a lot of Germans may be saying 'nichts mehr'!

About 18 years ago when I was in Queensville, Ontario I recall my late Canadian brother in law bitterly commenting,"The first thing these Middle Eastern A- rabs unpack when they get here is their additood"* I assumed that was the general consensus from the scuttlebut I picked up there. That was long before this current problem we have.

* I believe there had been a recent influx of Lebanese previously.
I dated a Lebanese, or was she a Lesbian, when I was a postgrad in Montreal? I can't remember.
