That is the antithesis of the sort of politician they like - the soundbite merchants - Obama, Macron, Blair (well used to like) with their dog-like adherence to the platitudes of political correctness. Orban really jerks their chain.<br /><br />It's a shame we have no one remotely like Orban in our political world in the UK. Why are our politicians almost universally shallow, unprincipled, obsessed with money, intellectually low grade and unable to see the dangers that lie ahead?

Clearly Hungary has joined the BBC’s target list with Trump , Brexit , etc..<br /><br />The subtlety of the Hungarians reply is damaging to BBC views and Maitliss and co. Scream and shout to obscure it. They say “We follow the democratic whereas you have chosen differently” but of course we haven’t been consulted on mass immigration. Just shouted at.

"Yes, I know. The powder works well doesn't it?" <br /><br />It was in any case an absurd argument. The PC lunatics always claim it's not about numbers until they turn round and tell you "The country's changed. It's a different place now. Better. More diverse..." So it WAS all about the numbers then...<br /><br />The Hungarian guy did well, in remaining composed. But I think there is only one tactic that works with them and it is the full on Trump counter-attack. A better Hungarian chappie might have said "Well I remember your correspondent Jenny Hill leaping up and down excitedly at the Berlin station welcoming all those migrants. She didn't look like a reporter doing her job. She looked more like a cheerleader. That was before the events in Cologne that New Year's Eve. And now even Merkel acknowledges Germany has a huge migration problem. So your hysterical line of questioning is entirely unacceptable. You, the BBC, lost the argument." <br /><br />By the way, Jenny Hill is still at it. I heard on the World Service today telling listeners the crisis in Germany is about politics and not migration. <br /><br />Whereas before she was an excited puppy, now she is a determined ostrich. <br /><br />Again numbers were cited, the reduction in the number of detected undocumented migrants coming into the EU. But Germany's migration crisis is just beginning. Nearly all the migrants of 2015 want to start chain migration, bringing in claimed "dependents" and spouses. They're nearly all young, ready to start families. They're mostly unemployable by German standards (they have to be given state-subsidised make-work jobs). They are a huge drain on the social housing and welfare system, costing Germany already tens of billions of Euros. <br /><br />Jenny Hill doesn't cover any of that.

And that's the point. Hungarian people have looked at the godawful mess that multiculturalism has made of the "more enlightened" countries of Western Europe and decided they want no part of it.<br /><br />What number of migrants would make the arrogant, ignorant Maitlis happy? 36,000? 360,000? 3,600,000?<br /><br />Any of those number would bring more rape, social conflict and, yes, terrorism to Hungary.<br /><br />Fair play to the Hungarian chappie for standing his ground and making a forceful defence while retaining his composure.<br /><br />My God, Maitlis and others of her ilk at the Beeb really hate democracy, don't they?RockyLiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06626129419692802987noreply@blogger.com
