Since the Cologne attacks there's been more incident... A German town has banned male asylum seekers from a public swimming pool after women complained of harassment. A government official in Bornheim said men from a nearby asylum shelter would be barred until they "got the message" that such behaviour was not acceptable. It follows outrage over hundreds of sexual assaults in nearby Cologne and other German cities on New Year's Eve. Those attacks, by men of mainly Arab and North African origin, raised tensions over the influx of migrants. More than 1.1 million people claimed asylum in Germany in 2015. please log in to view this image Image copyrightAFP Image captionIt is unclear how the ban will be enforced The head of the social affairs department in Bornheim - about 20km (12 miles) south of Cologne - said the move to ban migrant men followed increasing number of reports of inappropriate behaviour from female swimmers and staff members. "There have been complaints of sexual harassment and chatting-up going on in this swimming pool... by groups of young men, and this has prompted some women to leave," Markus Schnapka told Reuters. He said none of the complaints involved a crime being committed, but that social workers in the town would help to ensure the asylum seekers changed their behaviour. It is unclear how this rule will be enforced, although Germany is set to introduce new ID cards for migrants in February. Support falling Correspondents say the pool ban is the latest sign of increased tensions following the Cologne attacks. On Thursday, the authorities in another town in west Germany, Rheinberg, cancelled a carnival parade planned for February over security concerns. Rheinberg's public security chief, Jonny Strey, told German media that events in Cologne had influenced the decision and that officials were worried about from men from migrant backgrounds misbehaving. Rheinberg Mayor Frank Tatzel later denied this, according to Reuters. Cologne authorities expressed concern about the city's own carnival in February following the NYE attacks, promising to step up security and public awareness. An opinion poll on Friday showed public anxiety increasing over the number of refugees and migrants arriving in Germany. In the research, published by broadcaster ZDF (in German), 66% of the 1,203 respondents said Germany could not handle the arrivals, up from 46% in December. Support for Chancellor Angela Merkel, under pressure over her policies to welcome refugees, also fell - with 39% of people agreeing the chancellor was doing a "good job" in this area, down from 47% in December.

Among the 11 victims were Pakistani men beaten by a 20-strong mob and Syrian refugee targeted minutes later by a smaller group nearby. Police said they had reinforced officer numbers in the city centre earlier on Sunday after receiving warnings about a group searching for “provocation”. It came after a Facebook page created by a gang of "rockers" and football hooligans had called for supporters to “clean up" Cologne.

One of the most prominent football-related groups on the far-right scene is Hooligans Gegen Salafisten (HoGeSa), which has been linked to the English Defence League (EDL) and claims to fight the rise of extremist Salafism in Europe. please log in to view this image Supporters of anti-immigration right-wing movement Pegida in Cologne, Germany, January 9, 2016. On Saturday, thousands of protesters from anti-immigration groupPegida (Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamification of the West) and counter-demonstrators had taken to the streets of Cologne. Police deployed a water cannon and pepper spray in attempts move Pegida supporters from a square where they threatened to clash with anti-fascist groups. The city has seen waves of protests, including against sexual violence, since scores of women were sexually assaulted and robbed near the cathedral and main railway station on New Year's Eve. Thomas de Maiziere, the German interior minister, condemned Sunday’s revenge attacks and warned against a broader backlash against refugees following the events in Cologne, which have deepened opposition to Angela Merkel's refugee policies. please log in to view this image Counter demonstrators hold up a sign reading "Against sexism, against racism" as they protest against a demonstration of the islamophobic movement PEGIDA at the train station in Cologne, Germany, on January 9, 2016. More than 550 criminal complaints have been made concerning New Year’s Eve far and 45 per cent of cases relate to sexual offences, according to the latest update from Cologne Police. A 19-year-old Moroccan man was arrested on Saturday after being found carrying a mobile phone stolen at Cologne Central Station on the night. At least 23 suspects have so far been identified by a 100-strong team dedicated to the case. Ralf Jäger, the interior minister for North Rhine-Westphalia state, claimed most of the suspects were of North African origin and travelled from other cities. “To label certain groups, to stigmatise them as sexual criminals, would not only be wrong, it would be dangerous,” he added. “Those people who make a direct link between immigration and violence are playing into the hands of right-wing extremists.” That daft cow has opened Pandora box by opening the doors to them. Silly bitch.
One strike and you're out policy needs implemented here, and by out I mean shot in the face. Merkel's a ****ing idiot for expecting these people to act like civilised westerners.
If she was to insist on this surely there was a better way. One word, integration. The whole Idea was idiotic in the first place.More interested in giving herself a legacy for making Germany the 'compassionate' nation. Backfire! and now women can't walk the street in fear of being sexually assaulted or caught up in a Vigilante lynch mob. Merkel has a lot to answer to.
There wasn't even a settling in period, it was just immediate carnage. She's a ****ing mong. I'd love to see the Germans kick her out and send the muff faced pig to Syria.
Police in the Swedish capital Stockholm have launched an internal investigation into accusations that the force covered up widespread sexual assaults by mostly migrant youths at a music festival. In a case echoing recent attacks in Cologne, a group of men reportedly groped girls at the We Are Sthlm event. Police ejected 200 people from the site in August but did not mention assaults in their reports to the press. Sweden was the first country to offer permanent residence to Syrian refugees. Internal memo The allegations relate to both the 2014 and 2015 editions of the festival. Following the most recent event, a police spokesperson told local media: "There have been relatively few crimes and few taken into custody considering how many participants there were." Varg Gyllander, head of communications for Stockholm police, admitted the force "should have communicated" details about the alleged sexual assaults. "I actually do not know why it did not happen," Mr Gyllander told Radio Sweden. "Police have, as I understand the information I have been given, done a pretty big job there. A number of people have been removed due to harassment of women." The omission from the police's account of the event came to light in an internal police memo leaked to Dagens Nyheter, which recorded that police identified 50 suspects and removed 200 people from the event over its five days. The organisers of the festival, which is held outdoors at Kungstradgarden Square in central Stockholm, told the newspaper that there had been cases of sexual harassment every year, but that beginning in 2014 groups of boys and young men began to work the crowds together. According to Peter Agren, who led the police operation at the festival this summer, the controversy over welcoming refugees and migrants to the country may have contributed to a reluctance to publicise the issue. "Sometimes we do not really say how things are because we believe it may play into the hands of the Sweden Democrats," Mr Agren told Dagens Nyheter, referring to Sweden's right-wing anti-immigration party. Mr Gyllander also conceded that the issue may have been a factor. He said: "These days, the level of discussion is very harsh, and it's very aggressive when it comes to discussing the matter of refugees and foreigners. I think that all of us are very careful how we express ourselves." But he denied there had been any kind of cover-up. Stefan Lofven, Sweden's centre-left prime minister, called the incident "a double betrayal" for the women assaulted. "We shall not close our eyes and look away. We need to deal with such a serious problem," Mr Lofven told Expressen newspaper. At a press conference on Monday, national police commissioner Dan Eliasson said the force's conduct would be internally investigated. "We have to get to the bottom of this. We will first hand it to the internal investigation to see if any wrongdoing or crime has taken place," he said. Dagens Nyheter has also been accused of failing to report on the assaults, despite receiving a tip-off. Caspar Opitz, the newspaper's editorial director, wrote in a blog post that the paper took the tip "very seriously" but was unable to confirm it. Not just Germany either - It's the non reporting that worries me I. E. What else are we not being told?
Been looking into all of this for a couple of months now both in Germany and Sweden.. The outcome, if you want to see actual genetic crap then pay Malmo a visit.. This will be the major problem for years to come, Merkel wishes that your fanny gets caught on a S hook somewhere, you thick useless piece of ****..
Good old foreign policy biting us all on the backside. We need to bring our corrupt governments to task over the fact that people don't even feel safe walking down the streets because of these backward ****s!
I am that enraged at what's happening in Germany and Sweden then if one of the ****s ever and I mean ****ing ever passes me on Sadler Street then................................... ...........................................I will stick a Newcastle shirt on him and tell him to join the rest of the dodgy twats..
The scale of the cover ups by the mainstream media (msm) such as the bbc is staggering. In Germany the newspapers are referred to as ' lugenpresse ' which means the liar press. If you want to hear about a lot of the hushed up things 'them lot' get up to google. Breitbart and click on the London part. They are not afraid to print things going on around Europe which most of the other papers want to keep quiet about, to keep the locals in the dark. The comments sections after each item are also very interesting and are not censored as much as comments sections in the msm papers. Another source for information is the website. Biased bbc Google it and read the comments which point out the failings and bias of this once respected tv broadcaster. The amount of things going on here and in Europe is like the cases in Rotherham and all the other places that have been played down, even though there are many thousands of children and young girls involved. They (the msm) just bang on about enrichment and vibrant diversity. It was breitbart that reported the Cologne enriching days before the msm couldn't hide it any more. If you want the truth that the politicians don't want you to know go to breitbart. I have nothing to do with breitbart by the way, just want to share it with you.
Maybe these refugee's in Germany may want to read some history books........not the best idea to fart around in that country as a minority, Germany has previous form when it comes to ethnic cleansing.
The dregs of life, imprisoned in a religious belief, set free from the cage and forgetting that they really are the dregs. ****ed their own Country up and moving around to **** everything in front of them up. Breed 2 a penny and now they are in..
They have no concept of history. They're too young, they were never taught about the last 50, 70 or 100 years ago, and they haven't got a clue about the second world war. Unbelievably sad but true!
They **** up everywhere they land en masse. The Swede's have ****ed up big time & blood will flow in Germany.
How politicians across Europe can't/ couldn't see this turning into a complete and utter disaster is beyond me. ****ing dangerous situation.
off course they could see it happening - it's all contrived to create fearing populace - hence we're easier to control
local media in the north east are just as bad ! 26 asian taxi drivers were found guilty of sexual asaults in newcastle crown court last october but the local media kept it very low profile in fact more or less hid it
from my observations and experience I would say that the exact opposite is happening in the UK even from 2nd and 3rd generation residents. Muslim communities seem to be separating themselves off from the wider communities both geographically and culturally, and for me, this is a time bomb waiting to explode if it is not addressed and reversed.
you can drag a refugee to water but you cant make him drink it, especially if the bottle has a red cross on it
