james Hawes mentions Merkle's communist leanings in his book, the shortest history of Germany.
He's fairly well respected.

My sister lives in Berlin and I've said to her many times I think " mutti " was a KGB sleeper. Just my opinion of course. But she is a naturist for sure. I hope that hasn't ruined your lunch.
We need a deterrent. Oh wait, we had one

Migrant gang jailed in France.
Somebody posted that tackling gangs doesn't work as you jail one lot and another pops up to replace them. This gang were arrested in 2022 so as we are now seeing record numbers crossing the channel I think it is reasonable to assume that the vacuum has been filled.
Of course criminality should be tackled but the only realistic way to stopping this people smuggling trade is to make it unattractive to come here. Currently people are prepared to pay £10,000 to get their feet onto blighty so presumably they feel it is money well spent.
Perhaps removing the incentives will reduce the demand.
