London Populists across Europe have seized on the truck attack in Berlin as a way to criticise Germany's immigration policy but key players have held back on jumping to conclusions as the investigation continues. UKIP donor Arron Banks, who was also a key funder behind the Brexit campaign, tweeted that Merkel"might as well have" been driving the truck herself. Merkel has been criticised over her decision to let in around a million migrants -- many of them fleeing war-torn Syria -- over the past two years. Her policy has been polarising, not just in Germany. Just hours after Monday's attack, far-right Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders sharply blamed European leaders for admitting asylum-seekers into Europe.
