Does Frau Merkel actualy think before she...

..Opens her mouth?

First we had the "hey everyone you can come and live in Germany" idea... and the inevetable rush to the beaches from half of Syria adding to the refugee problem.

Then yesteday she is saying the Uk will have a difficult time negotiating a trade deal if we leave the EU.

I do wonder if she has thought how the boards of Mercedes, VW, BMW, Meile, Karcher, Bose, Bosch, Krupp and dozens more top German firms who contribute to the German exchequer will react when she tells them access to the fifth biggest economy in the world has been curtailed by her political posturing?

How many of Merkel's migrants have been through the asylum application system and rejected? And how many of those rejected have been deported?

2015 stats you might be wanting, Florinda. Those numbers will deal with people who applied for asylum in 2014, too. Need to wait until about 2017 to get full stats for the 2015 influx to DE. Italy has similar population to UK but granted almost twice as many people asylum.
