Most of the millions of overwhelmingly male migrants who have come to Europe in the past two years are not refugees fleeing war zones. Douglas Murray, in our latest video, discusses the total failure of Germany and other countries to integrate the migrants, and what the consequences will be. "If you have jobs in Germany that need filling, why on earth wouldn't you fill them with the young people from Italy, Greece, Portugal and other European countries, who are unemployed at the moment?"

If the remarks below, quoted in the Guardian, by the husband of the Labour MP brutally murdered this week, are anything to go by, the issues raised by Douglas Murray in this video are clearly derided by the left as little more than aberrant populist right-wing ignorance and fear-mongering and certainly not the right British way.

"The husband of Jo Cox plans to continue with a project that aims to build an international alliance to combat "the dangerous breeding ground" of economic insecurity on which the populist right has fed across European politics.
Brendan Cox has let it be known that he is determined to continue with the work in memory of his wife, who was killed on Thursday, but believes this will only succeed if lessons can be learned from why the right has so far taken the initiative on the migration issue.
In a paper he wrote a few weeks before his wife was killed which he has circulated – and asked the Guardian to quote from – Cox argues that one of the problems is that those hostile to refugees are better organised, more focused on galvanising public opinion, and better at tapping into human emotions, including over wider economic insecurities."

So, Mr Cox considers populist opinion to be inconsequential and invalid NOT because it stands on its own merit but because populists are just better organized and better at whipping up man's baser instincts. This elitist moral righteousness is stunning. Whatever happened to respect for democracy as the voice of the people, warts and all?
