The European Union is in a ‘race against time’ to stop the impending collapse of its border-free travel zone as its leaders admitted they had lost control. Countries across Europe are poised to bring back checkpoints as one of the most senior EU officials admitted the ‘clock was ticking’ on the end of the Schengen Agreement. Sweden slammed shut its borders warning it could no longer continue its tradition of welcoming migrants as it cannot cope with the vast numbers coming in.
A major migration summit last night descended into an acrimonious farce as African leaders angrily rejected a deal to take back tens of thousands of failed asylum seekers and accused Europe of causing their problems.
It came on a day of chaos as:
- European Council president Donald Tusk said it was a ‘race against time’ to save the EU’s Schengen travel zone.
- Denmark said it stood ready to follow Sweden and bring back checkpoints on its border.
- Slovenia began work erecting a razor-wire fence along its border with Croatia
- Angela Merkel’s finance minister and close ally compared her managing of the migrant crisis to a ‘careless skier’ who triggers an ‘avalanche’
- It emerged European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker had told Britain to stump up £275million to help refugees in Turkey.
Sweden's prime minister Stefan Lofven yesterday defended his decision to reintroduce passport checks, saying it was no longer possible to properly control the country's borders. The Swedish move was seen as particularly significant as the Scandinavian country has been one of the most hospitable to migrants with the highest number per capita in any of Europe, but its officials said it is now over-stretched.
Mr Tusk, who chairs the meetings of all 28 EU leaders, said urgent measures needed to be implemented. ‘This includes, first and foremost, restoring external border control,’ he said. ‘Without effective border control, the Schengen rules will not survive. We must hurry, but without panic.’ Danish prime minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen said he had put in contingency plans so they could bring in border controls at a moment’s notice.
Officials in Slovenia yesterday said they had erected three miles of a fence it is building along its border with Croatia. Hungary's right-wing government has already stopped all migrant coming through its territory with more than 120 miles of fence on its borders with Serbia and Croatia. Bulgaria and Greece have placed fences on their borders with Turkey.
German finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble caused a row after he accused Mrs Merkel of starting an ‘avalanche’ of migration. His comments came after Germany reversed Mrs Merkel’s decision two months ago to allow all Syrians to claim asylum there, which many claim has encouraged hundreds of thousands more to come to Europe.
‘I don't know if we are at the stage where the avalanche has hit the valley or whether it's at the stage where it's still at the upper end of the slope,’ said Mr Schaeuble, who is one of Mrs Merkel’s closest allies. ‘An avalanche can be triggered by a careless skier on the slopes who moves a bit of snow.’
Hahahaaha literally everything I predicted is coming true. It's all blowing up in their stupid faces. Morons! Idiots! And where are all the fools on here and in the media who stated that Britain should join in this farce of accepting all these people? Answer: they're silent just as you won't hear from them below.
Two of the EU's most precious projects, Schengen and the Euro, are on the floor. Delicious stuff.
Thoughts?

Oh @conservative (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=36885); weren't you one of the ones backing Merkel and saying we should let all these people in? What do you have to say for yourself now.
