we have hearts, but we also have heads. our heads dictate what’s best for our country.

I am pretty sure that this crises has made it’s way to the news in the USA and there isn’t too much you have not already seen.
That said, I also think we see more of it and from different views as it’s right on our doorstep.

I wish I could say we see an end in sight, or that the EU was falling apart.  Neither is happening that I can see at the moment.  However, I would suppose the fact that some European countries are now squabbling amongst themselves on the refugee issue.

As you will read here, Hungary and Croatia are at loggerheads.  Hungary is extending it’s barb wire fence and now Croatia who were originally talking about humanity yadda, yadda, have found themselves with more of it than they can handle, so now they also are closing their border. 
Oh, and I haven’t even spoken of Serbia.  Countries we do not hear much from in the normal course of events are caught up in what I call, “Merkel’s Mess”, with threats from Germany that member countries who do not sign up for quotas, may see themselves being refused monies from the EU bank for development programs and subsidies they normally receive.  Woo-hoo. Germany threatening Europe?  Again?

The PM of Croatia has said,

We can not register and accommodate these people any longer.
They will get food, water and medical help, and then they can move on.
The European Union must know that Croatia will not become a migrant
‘hotspot’.  We have hearts we also have heads.

Now that quote came from a paper but I heard what he said on radio last night, and there was another line left out of the paper. No big deal but I think they could have printed it. He also said, “Our heads dictate what is best for our country and its security”.
Well said I think.

Meanwhile, as you’d suppose, the left wing press is using the ‘R’ word, and a guy named Sean O’Grady writes under the headline,
EUROPE’S DARK NATIONALISM IS BACK.  But there are one or two voices on the left , who do not agree with their friends and take a view closer to the warnings of more conservative people.  But do not mistake that for a sign of hope.  All hope is lost and as Drew has already said here, the USA is not far behind.

Hungary accuses Croatia of ‘human smuggling’ as unrepentant leaders in Zagreb vow to continue ‘forcing’ thousands of migrants over the border

· 20,000 migrants have entered Croatia since Hungary blocked route into EU
· Zoran Milanovic said they would give them food before sending them on
· Hungary has accused Croatia of committing violation of international law
· Elsewhere, a five-year-old girl migrant has drowned off coast of Lesbos

Croatia has vowed to continue sending thousands of migrants to Hungary as tensions mount between the neighbouring countries over the migrant crisis.

More than 20,000 migrants, many of them Syrian refugees, have flooded into Croatia since Hungary blocked their route into the European Union with a metal fence, tear gas and water cannons on Tuesday.

Croatian Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic said his country could take no more and would give them food, water and medical attention, before sending them on their often perilous journey to western and northern Europe.

Some 3,000 entered Hungary by bus and train on Friday with officials accusing Croatia of committing ‘a major violation of international law’.
More were expected today, as dozens of buses on the Hungarian side of the border lined up in the village of Beremend.

‘We forced them, by sending people up there. And we’ll keep doing it,’ Milanovic told reporters in the northeastern town of Beli Manastir, from where many of the buses and several trains left on Friday for the short trip to Hungary.

The Hungarian government hit back with spokesman Zoltan Kovacs claiming it showed the Croatian system for handling migrants and refugees had ‘collapsed.’

‘What we see today is a complete failure of the Croatian state to handle migration issues,’ he said.

‘What is more, we see intentional participation in human smuggling, taking these migrants to the Hungarian border.’

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
