This planet is sick.

Government crime figures show a 20 per cent increase in far-right attacks in the first six months of this year. Germany's neo-Nazi National Democratic Party, which has already entered parliament in the eastern state of Saxony, won further seats in Chancellor Angela Merkel's home state in the north-east last September.

A survey conducted by Germany's Freidrich Ebert Foundation earlier this month showed that 39 per cent of Germans felt that their country was suffering a dangerous invasion of foreigners, that 18 per cent thought that Jews had too great an influence and that 15 per cent wanted the return of a "strong leader".
