Has a Folkemødet ever been better timed or more incendiary? Despite cancellations by MPs and event organisers, the island of Bornholm will still be packed this week

Usually about 100 of the nation's 179 MPs head to the Baltic island to press the flesh and be seen.
But this year, about half that number say they will be in attendance.
