@MarianneleMag Absolument. Il a raison, comme d’habitude. D’ailleurs il n’a jamais existé la moindre “théorie du Grand Remplacement”. Le Grand Remplacement n’est pas une théorie, le Grand Remplacement est un crime. Et il est commis par ceux qui l’appellent une “théorie”.

In a brilliant essay in The Sunday Times, Matthew Syed writes the following: “If extremism is defined as acting out of proportion with context, history or consent, I suggest Merkel’s tenure represented the high point of postwar European extremism.”

I agree with Syed’s analysis. But there is one aspect of Merkel’s legacy to which we need to pay particular attention.

In Merkel’s own country, Germany, the political centre is collapsing. Nationwide opinion polls suggest that the three establishment parties that rebuilt Germany after the Second World War now command the support of only around a third of the electorate between them.

Nor is Germany the only country where the political centre is collapsing. The same is happening in France - a development that puts the future of the centre at issue in next year’s presidential election.

In my view, Angela Merkel bears a grave responsibility for the collapse of the centre and the growing ability of the political extremes to set the agenda.

The almost one-third of voters who would support Alternative für Deutschland in a national election are not fascists or Nazis. A substantial proportion are disillusioned CDU voters.

What has disappointed these voters? First, what I see as Merkel’s failures on so many fronts: immigration. Security. Energy. A sustainable strategy for business and economic growth. Digitalisation. Infrastructure maintenance. The list is almost endless.

Second, the extraordinary denial of reality that, in my assessment, Merkel allowed to take hold when it came to immigrants’ responsibility for antisemitism, violence against women, terrorism and gang crime.

Coming from Denmark, where we have reliable statistics on all these matters, I find it frankly shocking to listen to the nonsense coming from Germany’s political elite.

But I would also trace back to Merkel the rise of what is often called “Islamo-leftism” - a tendency that has recently gained ground in Sweden and is also growing in Germany. In Sweden, polls have indicated that 85 per cent of Muslim voters support parties to the left of centre, with almost one in five supporting the Left Party, Vänsterpartiet - a party tainted by antisemitism and the glorification of terrorism. I see no compelling reason to assume that the pattern in Germany is fundamentally different.

My argument, then, is that it is not only the rise in support for the AfD that can be traced back to Merkel. The same applies to the growing support for parties on the German left that promote the political and religious views of a significant proportion of the people, Merkel invited to Germany. Not least on the Gaza question.

Merkel’s role in Europe’s political destabilisation deserves far closer scrutiny.

We need to discuss this openly and honestly. Otherwise, we cannot understand why the political centre is collapsing in so many countries today.

Hi @andyburnham

Just checking to see if you feel "ashamed" after meeting President Trump today?

It's almost like we are living in some parallel world. The idea that millions of young working-class British lads are going to be rushing to enlist to fight in a manufactured war for a ruling class that has spent the past three decades stigmatising and demonising them is just wild. Have our political and military leaders lost their minds? Do they know the slightest thing about the mood inside the country?

BREAKING - This man is going viral after revealing that the last woman shot by Minneapolis police was a White woman named Justine Damond, who was killed by a Somali officer after she called for help, and not a single Democrat spoke out or protested.

A Swedish politician from the only immigration-critical party in parliament has had her horses stabbed and her chickens killed because of her political views.

They even put her chicken’s head in her mailbox with a note: “You will die, racist scum".

That’s the “peaceful” left, stabbing and killing innocent animals.

The double standard is the point. It creates an environment that people of a certain ethnic background can get away with anything and everything, and every time it's somehow justified.

And when you point out that it's insanity, they slander you as racist.
