  1. The EU is largely responsible for economic problems. They are a recipe for failure.

  2. ​ @jolyon_lb1423  On the basis of your definition, to use ethical or philosophical views as a basis for promoting restrictions on other people's rights would not be bigotry. One could otherwise argue that objecting to any laws - theft, murder or commonplace matters such as taxation - is bigotry. Some people argue that tax is a form of theft. The counter to that argument is that the state's claim on your property is based on some kind of ethical foundation. Is that correct?

  3. Pleasant surprise that the Slovakians have some much sense. Ukraine includes a chunk for Slovakia stolen by Stalin. If they don't upset the Russians they might get it back. Another kick in the teeth for the WEF and EU can't be bad.

  4. What happened to Swedish caution? The Russians could easily blockade Swedish ports, and worse. Gotland would be a handy prize as well. If Swedish politicians had anything between their ears they would have collaborated with Russia after the Soviet Union collapsed. It would have been a good alliance.

  5. Sweden will be a member of the Arab League within 50 years.

  6. The EU's politics are based on 17th century Mercantilism as recycled by Walter Sombart, advocated in Mein Kampf and implemented by the Na7is in 1934.

  7. ​ @chiaraimpeduglia1308  The people were either not asked or were not told what they were getting into and did not understand the implications.

  8. Immigration from Muslim countries shouldn't be a problem if the migrants are people fleeing from Islamists.

  9. To promote the WEF agenda.

  10.  @erik7999  How is Sweden an important part of the EU except that is costs a lot of money and makes it expensive and difficult to get stuff from outside the EU, including the UK after Brexit. EU membership just has nuisance value for us.

  11.  @dsludge8217  Try blockading St Petersburg. Why are you so keen on starting World War Three?

  12. Steam locomotives to keep the railways going without electricity? We could lend them some 9Fs.

  13. This development demonstrates how irrelevant is the pigeonholing of people and politicians as "left" or "right"

  14. That is an argument in favour.

  15. TLDR is scraping the barrel with this one. The EU protected Single Market is nonsense on stilts, based on a long discredited theory of economics. There are 165 countries in the world which the UK can source supplies from, and sell goods to. The British can eat all the food its farmers and fishermen can produce. The main losers from tariffs imposed by the EU are companies and consumers in the EU. Shame that TLDR doesn't understand this. The EU policy creates conflict all round. It is a major factor in the Ukraine hostilities.

  16. This is reminiscent of the WW1 stalemate. The Ukrainians are being disgracefully exploited as a Western, principally US catspaw. They will get ground down in the end. The two sides need to stop fighting and negotiate.

  17. They really are determined to have World War 3. The EU leaders couldn't be trusted with a box of matches. Germany has already achieved the economic aims of the Third Reich, since the Single Market is substantially a continuation of the Autarky policy of 1934. The EU's trade and economic policies have played an important part in turning Russia into the paranoid-agressive menace it has become. A European army should prime the fuse for WW3.

  18. Good idea, in that case. Bring it on.

  19. My contact with Ukrainians tell me they they are getting fed up with their leaders. Continuing seizure of church property is also upsetting and lot of Ukrainians.

  20. Every single EU country is running a tax and trade policy which maximises the damage done. The most harmful is VAT, followed by import tariffs. It is textbook stupidity. The urgent need for remedial action should put reform at the top of the Commission agenda, yet these policies are regarded as sacred and immutable. What a useless bunch are in charge.

  21. The EU sanctions are are self imposed blockade = EU self harm.

  24.  @michaelpettersson4919  Keen on border security? Welcome to our ISIS veterans. We could do with a bit of security here in Sweden.

  25. These are the effects of the EU policy of self punishment. Why is anyone surprised? If would be funny to watch the clowns in charge of the EU if the consequences were not so serious. At least it we help to achieve net zero.

  27. Sweden is too dependent on M$ IT systems. Turkey will object.

  28. Cambrdge University Professor Nicholas Kaldor warned against having a single currency in the 1960s. Shame that the EU got its trade and economics policies from Walter Sombart via Mein Kampf. They were a resurrection of 17th century Mercantilism, a theory which was discredited by all the 18th century classical economists. interest rate adjustment is not an effective tool for economic management. The EU economy is throttled by dysfunctional tax systems, notably VAT, and inefficient resource allocation due again to dysfunctional tax systems. Will the policy makers address these causes? Not a chance.

  29. You have just explained why the EU will fall apart in the not too distant future. It is worse than that, because the EU's finance is based on VAT, the worst conceivable tax that it is possible to have - of all taxes, it is the most inefficient and damaging that could have been devised.

  30. The EU are masters of self-punishment. We ( 🇸🇪 and the rest or the E27) are the losers from their mercantilist policies. We are the ones who will lose if the EU slaps tariffs and other tariffs on UK goods. It means shortages and higher prices. Tax competition is an excellent thing. VAT, the Eurotax, is the most damaging and inefficient ever imposed on an economy. The whole concept of 'access to markets' is a deception. 'Access to markets' is about allowing people to buy things. The EU's concept of 'access to markets' deprives people of the right to purchase freely.

  32. Let's invade Russia.

  33. Turkey is saving Sweden from its own folly. The country is broke. The krona has tanked. A big, half built infrastructure project has been stalled due to no money. Any support for joining is because the media have fed the national Russophobia.

  36. We in Sweden need to keep out of this. I wonder what the inducements were? Hopefully the Kurds in Sweden will take to the streets and our politicians will get thrashed.

  37. ​@@nadeemshahzad2182 They are hounding out the Serbs. Evil country, essentially a NATO base.

  38. The Ukrainians will be fine as long as their fleet of steam locomotives is in good order and the staff know how to operate them.

  39. VAT, CAP, the protected Single Market and the Euro - a perfect formula for failure. The theory behind it is known as Mercantilism and was obsolete by 1750. It owes quite a lot to Catholic Social Teaching and comes from the 13th century. Unfortunately the structure of the EU makes it impossible to change. The so called sanctions against Russia are really a boycott and were the tipping point. All entirely predictable.

  41. Left/Right is a crude and out of date categorisation. There are owners and renters. That underpins the main division.

  49. It's 1914 war fever all over again, getting all the pieces in play for World War III. Naughty Danes, up to now, not following the views of their political elites.

  50.  @NoName-hg6cc  In 1914 there were the Allies and the Central Powers. Now there are the EU and Russia. All it needs is a stray incident to spark off the keg.
