Vile attacks on immigrants and ethnic minorities are continuing all across Europe.

Reaction is being whipped up by the pro-austerity parties, who also lend support to each other’s agendas.

While she was completely unwilling and unable to offer any encouragement on his central demand for a European referendum, the consolation prize offered was support for yet another ‘clampdown on benefit tourism’.
