Was any attempt made to vet the security staff for Euro 2016 at all? Or was any Muslim who applied immediately hired, because not to have hired him would have been another instance of islamofauxbia? Europe is setting itself up for catastrophe of monstrous proportions.

“Euro 2016: 82 security staff revealed to be on terror watch list – French intelligence,” RT, June 5, 2016:

“This threat will last for a long time. But we must do everything to ensure that the Euro 2016 is a success,” the French president told radio France Inter on Sunday.

The French had made promises that the championship would be entirely secure, and the Mediterranean resort of Nice is set to spend about €1.2 million on preparations, which is almost half the €2.5 million budget, according to Le Point. The city will host four matches.

Each football team will also be given 17 police officers and two agents with France’s elite special forces for extra protection….
