Your post is a good example of why a little intelligence is a dangerous thing.
All civilisations/societies rise and eventually decline. And all great civilisations have been multi-cultural either through trade and/or conquest, from the Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, Roman, British and right up to in modern times, the US.
It can in fact be argued that open, multi-cultural societies flourish while homogenous ones (generally) don't.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
You might want to lay off the waccy baccy mate, because too much will addle your brain and make you simple minded

Didn't the French suffer a similar "scare" a couple of years ago as a right-wing party was gaining popularity with the voting public?
Is this not still, in fact, the case?
Are we concerned because it's right-wing, or because it's happening in Germany?? What about South Africa? United States (KKK and White Supremicists etc.)
I think this is symptomatic of peoples when economies are in decline, they look to blame others for their misfortune - and the current crisis is no different - let us re-examine the "UK swamped by IT foreigners" thread again - aren't the Mail responsible for drumming up national hatreds??
