I have just been reading a report from the Norwegian Government that they are preparing legislation to enable them to abandon International Law in the event of a migrant-induced breakdown of Swedish society. As far as I am concerned this is the red flag for real problems coming down the road. Let me explain.
Norway is one of my favourite countries. I know it very well, and have long admired the people. They are democratic, law-abiding, steady, calm and stoic. This action by their Government is so far out of character that I can barely begin to absorb it. It is one of the wealthiest countries and quite able to deal with a few immigrants, but they evidently feel so under threat - and probably with very good reason - that they are prepared to give International Law the finger. I am sure that some of the Forum members who are ex-military have possibly done their cold-weather training in Norway - OH used to fly choppers up there and kis a great admirer of the country.
I know it doesn't rank highly as a big country, like Germany (God help the Germans at the moment), but the importance of this action is immeasurable. I think the EU is on the verge of collapse.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
