The fact that the incredibly generous & humanitarian Swedes are admitting that they
are full of asylum seekers might just be a trigger to a much bigger & wider issue.

I cannot imagine that the inhabitants of Northern Germany are going to be too happy
about the increasing numbers of migrants building up there due to the combination
of a closed door ahead of them but a trail of still migrating people behind.

This could well lead to Germany closing their doors to avoid fueling the more extreme
nationalists there and that, in turn, will knock-on to the other countries "upstream" of
them.

The time to really worry will be when it isn't just a case of "not allowing more in" but
instead turns to "sending them back".

That's when it could get very messy indeed.
