Nevertheless, I'll bet a house against a dime that those and most of all
other migrants learnt at school more English than German, Swedish or
Danish. Bertel can probably find out and tell us how many Danish courses
are held at schools all over the world.

Also, about your original claim that "migrants, disdaining Europe, are
willing to risk drowning in order to join us", you could publish the
figures about the absolute numbers of migrants to Germany and the UK
even in the period you chose - 2018 to 2025. For well-known reasons I'd
rather take 2015-2025.

And then, I'm still looking forward to your reply to Aidan's comment.
