Germany torn apart: Mob of 100 neo-Nazis in vicious brawl with 20
asylum seekers who goaded them into violence in latest example of how
Merkel's open-door policy is dividing the country
About 100 far-right men and women attacked some 20 asylum seekers
The night of violence unfolded in the east German town of Buatzen
Police reportedly pelted with bottles by migrants they were protecting
Neo-Nazis are said to have chanted 'Bautzen for the Germans' during clash
Refugees
and neo-Nazis battled it out on the streets of an east German town on
Wednesday night with police fighting to save the migrants outnumbered
five to one.
But
police said the asylum seekers started the confrontation - and later
hurled bottles at the police trying to save them from a beating.
About
100 far-right men and women attacked some 20 asylum seekers in the town
of Bautzen after the migrants taunted them. Video footage shows chaotic
scenes as fighting breaks out in the German town.
It
comes as German chancellor Angela Merkel continues to fight for her
political life over her open-door policy on immigration with the threat
of fresh gains by the right-wing populist AfD party.

Halifax BNP meeting 1996 - attacked by armed communists
This is a video that was uploaded to Youtube in 2010. It was taken by this writer who attended this meeting.
In this video you can see the Halifax Police arrive . The Police were led that day by Sgt. Jimmy Lynch, who promptly did nothing. Surprising that . Until we realise that his daughter is now the current Labour party MP for Halifax, Holly Lynch, who was a friend of Jo Cox MP.

Angela Merkel is smashed in her home state polls by
the far-Right a year after she let hundreds of thousands of migrants
into Germany
Polls in Mecklenburg Western-Pomerania show Merkel slump to second
Merkel's party tied in region with hard-right group Alternative for Germany
Her support has suffered as a result of her open door immigration policy
Immigration is a big concern in Germany after recent terror attacks
Chancellor
Angela Merkel was hammered in an election in her home state on Sunday
by the hard-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.
Exit
polls in the Mecklenburg Western-Pomerania election show Mrs Merkel's
CDU conservatives slumped to a tied second place with the AfD which has
eroded her power base because of her open door immigration policy.
Both
parties scored 22 percent of the votes cast exactly a year after Mrs
Merkel took the decision to open the country up to unregulated refugee
immigration. The AfD now have seats in 11 regional parliaments in
Germany.

Chancellor Angela
Merkel was hammered in an election in her home state on Sunday by the
hard-right Alternative for Germany party (Pictured, on the eve of the
election in Bad Doberan)
The figures may change when the final count is in but the result is seen as a clear disaster for Mrs Merkel.
The
result will further plunge her prospects of serving a fourth term in
office in doubt when Germany stages its general election in the autumn
of 2017.
The
vote on Sunday in the state - where she has had her own constituency
since 1990 - was a referendum on her controversial refugee programme
which has seen more than a million people enter the country in the past
12 months.
Germans
are frightened of losing their national identity, of terrorism - two
refugees carried out attacks in the country in July - and of escalating
sex crime. In Essen on Friday night there were more incidents of
immigrant men sexually assaulting women at a street festival.
Mecklenburg-Western
Pormerania is Germany's poorest state and elections are usually decided
on economic issues. But this one was fought solely on the refugee
question.
After the AfD win the party leader Frauke Petry said: 'We have made history here today.'

The
result in the state, currently ruled in a coalition with her CDU and the
centre-left SPD, proves that Mrs Merkel is failing to connect with
voters. A new poll out on Friday showed that her approval levels have
slumped to their lowest for five years.
The
SPD came out on top in Mecklenburg Western-Pomerania with 30 percent of
the vote, meaning it can still form a coalition with the CDU but could
also go into power with the hard-left Die Linke party and the Greens.
The
result is seen as Mrs Merkel's fault alone she continues to ignore
public opinion and insists that there will be no U-turn on her asylum
policy.
In
an interview published in Bild prior to the election, she said: 'We did
not reduce benefits for anyone in Germany as a result of the aid for
refugees. In fact, we actually saw social improvements in some areas.
'We took nothing away from people here.
'We are still achieving our big goal of maintaining and improving the quality of life in Germany.'

Delivering
a closing campaign speech on Saturday, in the state of 1.3 million
voters north of Berlin, she continued to encourage a focus on Germany's
role to help those in need.
She
said: 'The vast majority of people are ready to help people in distress
in the world. For that I am very thankful. We must maintain this
stance.'
Hans-Herman
Tiedje, a former policy adviser to legendary German chancellor Helmut
Kohl, said: 'The German people has not been asked once if it wants this
demographic restructuring of our country.
'The good people of this world will maybe give her the Nobel Peace Prize--but domestically her politics are devastating.
'As
to the poll - the AfD is indeed definitely not intellectual enrichment
for our country, but it binds to itself voters who despair at Merkel's
policy.'
Angela Merkel's CDU 'suffers Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania poll blow'
Angela Merkel's
ruling CDU party has been beaten into third place by an anti-immigrant
and anti-Islam party in elections in a north-eastern German state, TV
exit polls suggest.
The Alternative fuer Deutschland (AfD) party took 21.4% of the vote behind the centre-left SPD's 30.2%.
The German chancellor's CDU was supported by only 19.8% of those who voted, according to the exit polls.
The vote was seen as a key test before German parliamentary elections in 2017.
Before
the vote in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania, all of Germany's other parties
ruled out forming a governing coalition with the AfD.
However, the party's strong showing could weaken Mrs Merkel ahead of the national elections next year. 'Rapefugee' message in Rostock as AfD challenges Merkel Germany jolted by AfD success Is Merkel really on the ropes? Profile: AfD leader Frauke Petry
Mecklenburg-West Pomerania, in the former East Germany, is where the chancellor's own constituency is located.
Under
her leadership, Germany has been taking in large numbers of refugees
and migrants - 1.1 million last year - and anti-immigrant feeling has
increased.
The AfD, initially an anti-euro party, has enjoyed a
rapid rise as the party of choice for voters dismayed by Mrs Merkel's
policy.
But its political power is limited and critics accuse it of engaging in xenophobic scaremongering. Image copyrightAFPImage caption
Local AfD leader Leif-Erik Holm, a former radio presenter, said his party had achieved a "proud result"
The CDU has been the junior coalition partner in
Mecklenburg-West Pomerania since 2006 and is likely to remain in the
governing coalition. However, its 19% in the election is its worst ever
result in the state, German broadcasters said.
BBC Berlin
correspondent Damien McGuinness says that following her political
embarrassment, Mrs Merkel will now come under greater pressure to change
her welcoming position on refugees.
Addressing supporters, local
AfD leader Leif-Erik Holm said: "Perhaps this is the beginning of the
end of Angela Merkel's chancellorship today."
Mrs Merkel, who is
in China for the G20 summit, told Bild newspaper on Saturday: "We did
not reduce benefits for anyone in Germany as a result of the aid for
refugees. In fact, we actually saw social improvements in some areas.
"We
took nothing away from people here. We are still achieving our big goal

Angry scenes as police separate Leave and Remain protesters at
anti-Brexit rallies across Britain (and Eddie Izzard has his pink beret
knocked off)
March for Europe launched to pressure Government to delay Article 50
Protests in London, Birmingham, Oxford, Edinburgh and Cambridge
Typically British scenes included gentleman in tweed waving a Union Flag
And hundreds walked through rainy streets of Bristol during the protest
Thousands of pro-Europe protesters flooded Britain's cities today - leading to counter-demonstrations from Brexit voters.
In
typically British scenes, a man in tweed held a Union Flag aloft in
Parliament Square, while in Bristol hundreds trooped through the streets
under steady rain.
The
March for Europe was launched to ratchet up pressure on the Government
to delay activating Article 50, the formal process of leaving the EU.
Simultaneous
rallies supporting close economic, cultural and social links to Europe
have taken place in Edinburgh, Birmingham, Oxford, and Cambridge.
In
London, Eddie Izzard's pink beret became the centre of police attention
after it was swiped off his head along with his yellow bag by a
protester in Whitehall.

Police
grappled with the alleged thief, who was able to flee towards
Parliament Square. Izzard then retrieved the beret from the suspect, who
was dressed in black and had a bandanna covering half his face.
The
Labour-supporting entertainer later gave a speech to a crowd of several
thousand at the event, before his prize hat was taken away by police as
evidence.
The
comedian said: 'Somebody stole my hat. There were masked Brexit people,
dark glasses, masked, skull teeth across [the masks].
'There
was one guy, I was complaining about this to him, he went up and
snatched my beret - which has a British flag and an EU flag on - and he
marched off, he stole it.'
Izzard
said he 'jumped on him to get it back and then he struggled more',
saying that the police 'did fantastic, there was an inspector, some
other officers in there, they took him down'.
He
said: 'I got my beret back, but it's gone off as evidence - my beret is
now in evidence,' adding: 'I'm out, transgender for 31 years and if
anyone steals my pink beret, I'll get it back.'
The
Met Police confirmed they had arrested a 26-year-old man shortly before
1.10pm, adding he was 'from a group of around four men who attempted to
demonstrate against the march'.

The new TTIP? Meet TISA, the 'secret privatisation pact that poses a threat to democracy'
Government insists 'public services are under no threat whatsoever from this deal'
Anti-TTIP protests have brought thousands onto the streets
across Europe, while the TISA talks have gone largely unnoticed Getty
An international trade deal being negotiated in secret is a
“turbo-charged privatisation pact” that poses a threat to democratic
sovereignty and “the very concept of public services”, campaigners have
warned.
But this is not TTIP – the international agreement it appears campaigners in the European Union have managed to scupper over similar concerns
– this is TISA, a deal backed by some of the world’s biggest
corporations, such as Microsoft, Google, IBM, Walt Disney, Walmart,
Citigroup and JP Morgan Chase.
Few people may have heard of the Trade In Services Agreement, but campaign group Global Justice Now warns in a new report: “Defeating TTIP may amount to a pyrrhic victory if we allow TISA to pass without challenge.”
Like the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TISA is
being negotiated in secret, even though it could have a major impact on
countries which sign up.
While TTIP is only between the EU and US, those behind TISA
have global ambitions as it involves most of the world’s major economies
– with the notable exceptions of China and Russia – in a group they
call the “Really Good Friends of Services”.
The Department for International Trade dismissed the idea that public
services were at risk from TISA, adding that the UK was committed to
securing an "ambitious" deal.
But according to Global Justice Now’s report, the deal could “lock in
privatisation of public services”; allow “casino capitalism” by
undermining financial regulations designed to prevent a recurrence of
the 2008 recession; threaten online privacy; damage efforts to fight
climate change; and prevent developing countries from improving public
services.

Jeremy Corbyn vows to veto TTIP
Nick Dearden, director of group, said: “This deal is a threat to the
very concept of public services. It is a turbo-charged privatisation
pact, based on the idea that rather than serving the public interest,
governments must step out of the way and allow corporations to ‘get on
with it’.
“Of particular concern, we fear TISA will include clauses that will
prevent governments taking public control of strategic services, and
inhibit regulation of the very banks that created the financial crash.”
He suggested pro-Brexit voters should be concerned at the potential loss of sovereignty.
“Many people were persuaded to leave the EU on the grounds they would
be ‘taking back control’ of our economic policy,” Mr Dearden said.
“But if we sign up to TISA, our ability to control our economy – to
regulate, to protect public services, to fight climate change – is
massively reduced. In effect, we would be handing large swathes of
policy-making to big business. “
The report says the widespread opposition to TTIP, a deal between only the EU and US, had not yet been repeated over TISA.
“It is vital for elected representatives, campaigners and ordinary citizens to unite against this threat,” it adds.
“TISA threatens public services. From postal services to the NHS,
TISA could lock in privatisation and ensure that big multinationals
increasingly call the shots on areas like health, education and basic
utilities.”
A so-called “ratchet” clause in the deal means that after a service –
like trains or water or energy – is privatised, this is almost
impossible to reverse even if it fails.
According to the report, a “standstill” clause also means “no new
regulation can be passed that gives foreign companies worse treatment”
than when TISA is passed.
“Taken together, the standstill and ratchet clauses could make it
much harder for a future government to renationalise the railways, a
move backed by a majority of the British public,” it says.
“Similarly, it could mean that the creeping privatisation of the NHS
becomes more and more irreversible with greater involvement of companies
from countries like the US. And forget taking control of the
electricity system back from the big six energy firms.”
Migrant workers could be classified as “independent service
suppliers”, the report says, meaning they would not be eligible for the
minimum wage or be allowed to join a union.
People going to another country may find their visa is tied to their job, so if they were sacked, they would be deported.
“This sort of system of modern indentured labour is wide open to
abuse by unscrupulous employers who may get away with illegal practices
safe in the knowledge that they can threaten any employee with
deportation if they complain," the report says.
“This sort of system is used in countries like Saudi Arabia, the UAE
and Qatar and has resulted in working conditions that have been
described as being close to slavery.”
The global economic crash of 2008 was precipitated by the sale of
complex financial products linked to unsafe "sub-prime" mortgages. The
report says there is a danger the final TISA deal would “undermine
efforts to regulate risky financial products” with a proposal that firms
should be allowed to offer “any new financial service”.
“The danger is that TISA will deter governments from limiting the use
of such ‘innovative’ financial products and leave us powerless to stop
the next financial crisis,” it says.
TISA could also potentially prevent governments from favouring
renewable energy over fossil fuels – despite the need to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions and the health effects of air pollution.
Private firms would also be allowed to move online data from one
country to another under one proposal being considered. While the
original country’s privacy laws would have to be respected, the report
said it was “not clear how this will be … enforced”.
While developed countries in Europe have established public services
that would not be threatened unless a state’s government decided to open
them up to private firms, the same is not true of many developing
countries. If they signed up to the deal, it could effectively prevent
them from setting up public institutions taken for granted in the West.
The TISA negotiations were held behind closed doors for about 18
months until they were publicly revealed by the global trade union group
Public Services International (PSI). Information about some of the
proposals has been also disclosed through Wikileaks and similar sites.
Daniel Bertossa, PSI’s director of policy, said: “Anybody who’s
interested in maintaining democratic control of national institutions
should be very concerned about the Trade in Services Agreement that is
being negotiated in secret.
“It will remove large sections of national sovereignty and the
ability of any government, including the UK Government, to regulate
important service sectors [on issues] such as energy, such as transport,
such as privacy. The Trade in Services Agreement is part of a radical
project to limit governments’ sovereign right to regulate and freeze it
almost in permanence in the interests of foreign corporations.”
According to the European Commission, TISA is about "facilitating trade in services".
"The EU is the world's largest exporter of services with tens of
millions of jobs throughout Europe in the services sector. Opening up
markets for services will mean more growth and jobs," its website says.
The Independent has contacted “Team TISA”, a group of mainly American companies in favour of the deal, asking for a comment.

Corbyn: Labour would veto TTIP
On its website, it says:
“Services are the fastest growing sector of the global economy and
account for two thirds of global output, one third of global employment
and nearly 20 per cent of global trade.
“The TISA provides an opportunity to expand services trade among over
50 countries, covering nearly 70 per cent of global trade in services.
“The potential expansion TISA provides will benefit not only global growth, but also US domestic growth.
“As the world’s largest services exporter, with over $1.3 trillion
(about £1 trillion) in annual cross-border and foreign-affiliate sales,
the US will benefit tremendously from elimination of services barriers.”
A Department for International Trade spokesperson said: “Public
services are under no threat whatsoever from this deal or any other
trade agreement. The UK remains committed to an ambitious Trade in
Services Agreement.” http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/ttip-trade-deal-new-what-is-tisa-privatisation-pact-secret-threat-to-democracy-a7216296.html
