This is a press release from the Danish government. For those unfamiliar with Danish politics, the Danish government is a coalition government. It is led - I almost wrote: as always - by Social Democrat Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.
The press release is in Danish. I am sure you can find a translation tool that will read it for you.
But the headline reads: "Denmark and a majority of EU countries push for return hubs and reception centres outside Europe."
I come from a Danish opposition party. But now I am going to do something rather unusual. It is in the service of a higher cause.
The truth that the centre-left and left in the European Parliament cannot bear to hear - and instead label racist - is one that the Danish Social Democrats have understood. That is why they are Europe's most sensible Social Democrats. Nobody else even comes close.
The Danish Social Democrats have understood that the welfare state breaks down if a country accepts uncontrolled or near-uncontrolled immigration. They have understood that we are not merely talking about economic collapse. We are also talking about the breakdown of the social contract.
Why, ask the Danish Social Democrats, should people who have worked and paid taxes all their lives accept that people who arrived the day before yesterday can immediately draw on all the benefits that we have collectively insured ourselves against? No normal person can understand that - and nor should they be expected to.
The Danish Social Democrats also know - and vote accordingly - that it is immigrants who have a duty to integrate themselves (and preferably assimilate). They dare to say it out loud: we do not need "counter-citizens". We need fellow citizens.
And the Danish Social Democrats also dare to say openly that it is a major problem that the Muslim Brotherhood is infiltrating society. And that there are too few moderate Muslims willing to speak out against it (although, fortunately, they do exist).
My three Social Democratic colleagues in the European Parliament are among the very few normal people in Crazyville.
To all the social liberals, socialists, communists and Islamists on the Left who have cried themselves to sleep every night since we voted for the Return Regulation, I say this:
Be more like the Danish Social Democrats.
They are working for socially, economically and politically sustainable countries.
The rest of you are working for the opposite.

This is a video recording of the iconic live musical performance by two legendary stars: Judy Garland and her daughter, Liza Minnelli. The footage is extracted from the legendary concert that took place in November 1964 at the London Palladium theater (UK). This was a truly special event as the mother and daughter shared a major stage together.
