No, he's just one of those whiny perma-contractors who is negative about every idea that isn't his without giving a viable alternative.

Pretty much. Honestly the amount of whinging here from people who aren't actually being impacted by the current crisis AT ALL is amazing. Most of the migrants coming in are trying to go to Sweden and Germany and they're coming in via Greece and Italy over the sea. They aren't reaching UK borders in any numbers you could quote that would be significant.
Having said that the world is changing and like it or not white people are going to be even more of a global minority in the future than they are today. You'll have as much luck holding back the tide as resisting the demographic shift so you may as well get over it.

I don't think he's arrogant at all. And I think we'd be safer. He's all about the deal. Putin wants a deal? we're good pals. Everyone else is determined to make him the boogey man, and that is dangerous.
