The Strange Death of Europe - Essential Reading.
The author of "The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam", is a British journalist, and political commentator. He is the founder of the Centre for Social Cohesion and is currently the associate director of the Henry Jackson Society and associate editor of The Spectator.
Douglas Murray is a seasoned journalist, who has spent a good deal of time studying, reporting and debating much of the ground covered by this book.
Europe is changing and most likely not for the better. As Murray puts it in the first sentence of the first page "Europe is committing suicide." The book describes in detail, how Europe is allowing itself and Western culture to be steadily deconstructed and probably with dire consequnces.
Murray's approach to the subject is methodical, thorough and at times injected with his acerbic wit. The book covers many aspects of immigration going back as far as the Huguenots in 17th century. However it's main focus is immigration since WWII and more specifically the present day migration crisis.
Murray has travelled much and has met migrants, escaping genuinely distressing situations, sensitively retelling their stories. In contrast he is quite critical of the way in which governments have mismanaged the migration crisis (and in some respects haven't managed it at all), allowing migrants to pass through borders with minimal or zero scrutiny. The net result being that the majority of people being allowed to land on Europe's shores, are not as many would believe refugees, but are economic migrants.
Murray discusses the social impact, the effects on law and order and the way in which much of the negative impact is glossed over by the mainstream media and politicians.
Murray demonstrates a great concern for the future of Europe (doesn't look good) due to the clash of cultures between the people's being imported to Europe and our tolerant, liberal Western culture. The West has hamstrung itself, weighed down by political correctness gone mad, it's loss of faith and self confidence in it's own culture. Almost masochistic in its nature. As a consequence the West is all to happy to blame itself and take ownership of the world's problems.
Throughout the book, Murray supports his views and analysis with statistics and facts gathered during his research, many of which are genuinely unsettling if not shocking. He covers the excuses we made for ourselves and which were invented for public consumption by the establishment. Murray systematically debunks these in a highly skilled manner.
The book has been hailed by some as the most important book of our time and I would have to agree. Murray's arguments are comprelling and difficult to refute. The book provides clarity and honesty in an area which is shrouded by the language of political corectness.
This book really is essential reading.

Could wait to send it back
2 of 5 found this helpful We were very excited when the Samsung TV arrived and couldn't wait to try it out. The excitement wasn't long lasted.
The first issue was the curve of the screen. I should have anticipated the problem with the horrendous reflection of light but, I suppose, we live and learn. I have since learned that manufacturers are backing off from manufacturing curved screens. It's just a gimmick - a failed one at that.
Sitting dead centre, in front of the TV, the immediate impression is that you have a pretty good image. However, the angle of viewing is critical, and if you move to either side of the sweet spots or even stand up,the image loses its crisp sharp look. It takes on a slightly misty quality.
My guess is, that unless you suffered the problems with the bad reflections, it may take a little longer to spot the next issue. To counter the issue of reflections, we tried watching the TV in the dark. I tried with a couple of wide screen DVD movies (letterbox display) and found that in scenes where there was predominantly dark backgrounds but with lighter / whites thrown in, there was an awful mix of blooming, ghosting and colour bleeding. At first we noticed this at the top and bottom of the display, where the black bands of the letterbox display are, however it became apparent, that the portions of the central display were susceptible. The opening credits of Bladerunner, are wnite text on a black background. The display showed a misting of blues, smeared near the text. Some misting was bleeding either way, between the black bands and the main part of the display.
Alyernately dropping the backlight setting and the brightness didn't cure this either.
Finally, we couldn't quite get the colour quite how we liked it. The TV seems to have a bias to the warm side, showing greens more than we would like. This is a subjective area so I can't say that it would be a problem for everyone.
Hope this helps.

Good, but could have been better.
1 of 1 found this helpful With the two batteries that came with our mower (each 2AH), I was able to cut our lawn fully on one cut, but only got about a third of the lawn cut on a followup shorter cut, before running out of charge on the second battery.
I thought this battery might get the whole of the first as well as the second cut done with a little to spare, being as it's rated as 6AH. It did about 1 and 3/4 before running out of charge. I then replaced it with one of my original batteries to finish the last part.
So it obviously does more work than two of my original batteries, but doesn't seem to equate to three, as you might expect. I'm not particularly disappointed though; as long as it keeps performing the way it did on this first usage, I'll be happy.
