  1. It's obvious. It happened at the start of the university year. It was done as a prank by Swedish students.

  2. Numbers and types of migrants here in Sweden are ludicrously higher than the ability of the country's resources, institutions and economy to absorb them. To make matters worse, the tax system locks people out of the kind of work that migrants traditionally took up to support themselves. VAT, the Eurotax, in Sweden has almost killed off market trading and tradesmen working independently. Meanwhile, earnings from crime are tax free. All that before we even consider the differences in culture and values. The result is a crime wave

  3. We kicked ourselves in the teeth by boycotting Russian energy and the US or Ukrainians or British blew up the gas pipeline.

  4. I meet a lot Serbians. They loathe the EU nearly as much as they loathe NATO. Then there is the business of Kosovo. Orthodox Christianity retains a significant hold, and its values are diametrically opposed to EU values.

  5. It's the price of housing for families that is the trouble. We don't need migrants.

  6. Hahaha, who's talking about rules of law and freedom of speech?

  7. Rioting muslims in Malmö Sweden yesterday. No arrests made. That will give Alternativ för Sverige a boost. We need some policies that offend the EU establishment.

  8. It makes you something when you focus on Israel and ignore all the other crimes against humanity going on around the world eg China, Iran, Yemen, Papua New Guinea. Do you see what I mean? Who started this anyway? What do you think that the Israelis ought to do? Nothing? Should they just let the terrorism continue?

  9. Because there is space for them all in Ireland.

  10. They wouldn't do that.

  11. Regional economic imbalance is inevitable when tax systems ignore the effects of geographical advantage and disadvantage. The disadvantaged locations are below the margin at which profitable economic activity can take place. This is an example of Ricardo's Law of Rent, which is, apparently not taught in most economics courses.

  12. People are fed up with it but the government is lackadaisical.

  13. The party might have peaked but the resentment against mainstream policies keeps on growing. "Far Right" and ******phobia are badges of honour.

  14. Freedom of the press? Lots of things cannot be mentioned.

  15. 7 October has also backfired, hasn't it?

  16. You are a rational person. The people who run Gaza are not. The Israelis left in 2005., Gaza is world class real estate. It could have been another Singapore by now. The Israelis would not have stopped it. Hate prevents rational thinking. The people of Gaza have brought the on themselves. If you are on the side of reason and decency then you have to take the side of the Israelis.

  17. Sweden's economy has been taxed to death for decades. Honest work is punished. The property tax was heavily capped, pumping up the housing bubble. Large scale migration has been catastrophic for education, crime, employment, housing and social cohesion.

  18. It's the usual sloppy TLDR.

  19. The threats to Europe come from within.

  20. Time they Turks got out of Cyprus.

  21. The truth goes against Jack's narrative. 😊

  22. Bosnia is another Lebanon only with two Christian camps and no love lost between them either, with memories of the Ustase only just beyond living memory. A lot of western European countries will be facing these conflicts in a couple of decades.

  23. ​ @zekkiy  There is nothing good about eye slam. The more you see of it, the worse it looks.

  24. The competition for unpopularity is tough. Failed migration policies and their knock on effects are also behind the disapproval. Funny this wasn't mentioned.

  25. Ukraine holds a bit of Hungary that was nibbled off by Stalin. That might have something to do with things.

  26. The general public is alarmed at the creeping islamification all over Western Europe.

  27.  @icuigloo  Great. Give all the Gazans a refuge. You have plenty of space and they will fit in nicely, though I don't know if they will take to Irish bacon.

  28. The last place in Europe where steam locomotives are in constant use.

  29. Sweden suffers from over dependence on insecure and unreliable IT systems which go down all too often.

  30. I stopped listening when the commentator referred to her as "far right".

  31. Take them home with you

  32.  @SarastistheSerpent  The fascism is Islam. The collaboration goes back over 80 years.

  33. Sweden's entry into NATO is not so popular in Sweden. The country is broke, with soaring inflation and an unsustainable tax burden which is slowly destroying the economy. There is more concern about the unchecked gang warfare and crime wave.

  34. If it had not been for the famine of 1783, caused by a volcanic eruption, France would probably have evolved into a constitutional monarchy. There is hardly a country in the world that is not suffering from bad governance.

  35. Watch Colonel Macgregor to get the complete picture. A few local advances do not alter the reality that it's all over for the Ukrainians. The ammunition is running out. The supply of trained soldiers is running out. The supply of suitable men for army is running out. They should not have followed Johnson's advice when the Russians began to move last year.

  36. Truss should stand firm. The EU protected Single Market is something that you don't want to be in. If the Republic wants a border then they can put one up for themselves. Everything you try and buy from outside the EU gets seized by customs. The EU is trying to make a grab for sovereignty. While Truss is at it she should scrap the Eurotax, VAT. It is the most inefficient and damaging tax ever invented.

  37.  @mathish1477  Nobody wanted Kaliningrad in 1992.

  38. The EU does not do free trade; free trade does not stop at any border. Few countries in the world have tax policies that are anything other than both immoral and ruinous.

  39. Harming them? Cheap bread shock horror.

  40. How long does it take to set up manufacturing facilities?

  41. ​ You forgot to mention NATO uranium.

  42. What Swedish democracy? NATO membership overturns two centuries of neutrality, and for what? We have had referenda on far less significant issues. In the meantime the Swedish press has stirred up the Russophobia.

  43.  @giovy1922  The Euro is the problem. Europe is too large an area for a single currency. The Euro is undervalued for Germany and overvalued for countries like Greece and Spain. This leads to chronic trade imbalances.

  44. EU membership would damage the economy of Ukraine just as it has for the Baltics. There also the little matter of the Hungarians stuck in Ukraine and the Hungarian territory taken by Stalin.

  45. Red Square by Christmas.

  46. "Outfit"? "Right wing"? "Populist"? "Sounds like one of those suits people wear for jumping off mountains. The Guardian don't like it, which means it cannot be all that bad. Another nail in the coffin of the EU. Would TLDR approve of an unpopular left wing gang? Appointing a banker as PM was not exactly tactful.

  47. Good analysis. The mainstream politicians cannot listen.

  48. Hopefully the time will come when the elected members vote to dissolve the wretched EU. It has become an oppressive and intrusive bureaucracy which is impoverishing most of those who live in it through its incompetence, and is too sclerotic to adapt.

  49. They could get one of Network Rail's contractors in.

  50. Yes. It is the argument for land value taxation. Land isn't going anywhere.
