Fear and Loathing of the Impending Roma Invasion in the UK

There is an increasing awareness that the May elections for the European Parliament could be a watershed moment. After listing most of the nationalist parties, Timothy Garton Ash, who wears his hostility to all things nationalist on his sleeve, writes in the LA Times:
“Today is the beginning of the liberation from the European elite, the monster in Brussels,” cried [the Dutch Party for Freedom's Geert] Wilders. “Patriotic parties,” added [Marine] Le Pen [leader of France's National Front], want “to give freedom back to our people” rather than being “forced to submit their budget to the headmistress.”There is nothing at all coming from the current leadership in Berlin, Paris or Brussels (forget London) that is likely to reverse the tide that’s buoying these parties. Behind their typical 10% to 25% standing in opinion polls is a wider popular discontent with unemployment, austerity and a Brussels EU bureaucracy that spews out regulations about the specifications of your vacuum cleaner and how much water you can use in a toilet flush.If the tide continues to rise, what happens? (“Is Europe headed for divorce?“)
Ash suggests that a strong showing in the elections would “drive the mainstream socialists, conservatives and liberals closer together.” But unless these elites completely change course on immigration and national identity, I rather doubt that they can stem the tide. . . .
