The invasion of Germany continues: 250,000 more
Bolt’s Threat
“This is going to end very badly”
Bolt’s predictions last year were that 1mill plus refugees invaded Germany . He reduced that to 600,000, the official numbers in his latest and recent blogs, simply because the official data showed the 1 million figure was obvious bullshit. However he’s back again saying the 2015 number was a million 400,000 more than the official figure why, for impact alone.
How disappointed is he that this year’s estimate is only 250 – 300 k a little over the 220,000 of Australia’s immigration intake. Germany is a country with X4 times our population so comparatively the 600,000 input in 2015 is 33% proportionately less than us. Consequently the truth in fact ” is not as bad as it seems” .
With aging populations small towns in Germany are crying out for immigrants to replace their dying populations. Like Shepparton in Australia they are only too grateful for newcomers who have integrated exceptionally well when welcomed. You can’t rely on Andrew Bolt for any truth in news can you! He’s the Arthur Daley of media selling truth without wheels no without an engine.
Immigrants in Sweden are beginning to get homesick and apparently leaving the EU in greater numbers something Bolt doesn’t tell you, which indicates they never arrived for economic opportunity alone. Bolt’s greatest argument was these people were economic refugees. In fact the poorest remain in camps outside the EU. These people are in fact home sick. So Andrew Bolt not only exaggerating the numbers but he isn’t even attempting to quote nett annual numbers. He’s simply putting in numbers to feed his imaginary story to whip up fear. Incoming refugee numbers are dropping and outgoing are increasing which simply says if the wars the West began stop Bolt’s Muslim invasion is little more than a right wing fantasy. Nigel Farage Bolt’s not he is however worse and more like Trump even a bigger liar supported by News Corp. Who is also all biggest media support of all three.
