I stayed up late last night to watch with absolute horror what is happening in Europe. Once in bed, I still couldn't sleep, and so I switched on the light and read - again - Douglas Murray's prophetic book "The Strange Death of Europe". I had always thought that the book should've been made into a documentary film. Now we have documentaries by the thousands on YouTube.
No, don't run for the hills; run to your nearest bookshop to buy a copy of "The Strange Death of Europe"! It's a well-researched book, with footnotes and everything, about how godless Europe is dying in front of our eyes; and all because it’s too knackered and feeble to resist the barbarian hordes, welcomed in by idiots who’d trade a few beheadings for some more colourful ethnic restaurants. (I paraphrase, but barely.)

"The Strange Death of Europe" is a highly personal account of a continent and culture caught in the act of suicide. Declining birth rates, mass immigration, and cultivated self-distrust and self-hatred have come together to make Europeans unable to argue for themselves and incapable of resisting their own comprehensive alteration as a society and an eventual end.
This is not just an analysis of demographic and political realities, it is also an eyewitness account of a continent in self-destruct mode. It includes accounts based on travels across the entire continent, from the places where migrants land to the places they end up, from the people who pretend they want them to the places which cannot accept them.
Murray takes a step back at each stage and looks at the bigger and deeper issues which lie behind a continent's possible demise, from an atmosphere of mass terror attacks to the steady erosion of our freedoms.
The book addresses the disappointing failure of multiculturalism, Angela Merkel's U-turn on migration, the lack of repatriation, and the Western fixation on guilt. Murray travels to Berlin, Paris, Scandinavia, Lampedusa, and Greece to uncover the malaise at the very heart of the European culture, and to hear the stories of those who have arrived in Europe from far away.
This sharp and incisive book ends up with two visions for a new Europe--one hopeful, one pessimistic--which paint a picture of Europe in crisis and offer a choice as to what, if anything, we can do next.
But perhaps Spengler was right: "civilizations like humans are born, briefly flourish, decay, and die."
Could it happen here in Australia? Of course it could, but don't you worry about that: South Africa is 4-40 and staring into the abyss.
