Why Does The Swedish Prime Minister, Stefan Löfven, Continue To Deny That Sweden Is In Crisis As A Result Of Its Liberal Refugee Policy?

/// The former deputy chief of the serious crimes division wrote: “I’m so f***** tired. What I’m writing here isn’t politically correct. But I don’t care. ///

/// “Our pensioners are on their knees, the schools are a mess, healthcare is an inferno, the police is completely destroyed. Everyone knows why, but no one dares or wants to say why.” ///

Dare one say, that one does not have to go all the way to Sweden, so as to experience some of those problems?

It's the disease of the Liberal elite. They are right everyone else is wrong, is a racist, a xenophobe an uneducated swivel eyed looney etc etc.

Or, perhaps, the statistics are difficult to interpret, allowing anyone (of either extreme) to spin them to suit their narrative?

It's not obvious that Sweden is much worse (or, perhaps, much better) than, say, the US under its more liberal refugee policy. So what Trump is saying is wrong. Equally, those who portray Sweden as a utopia are wrong.

Spot on AOG.....

Unless I've missed it, I have not seen this story, or others of rape etc in Sweden, on any UK TV news, only RT..News, who tend not to bury their heads in the sand.

and the article cited has Mr trump holy words and immutable truth
"He said: "You look at what's happening in Germany, you look at what's happening last night in Sweden."

and there was nothing happening in Sweden that previous night

FOx had carried an item about general unrest

what was the question
why do we continue to listen to Mr Trump as tho he was the Voice of Truth when we know he makes it "arl up"

and then explains " I was told that. I was told that"

so why do we go on listening to him

gullibility sir gullibility

That wasn't the question, percy.

Those Swedish politicians would look ridiculous if they admitted mass-immigration has been a disaster. So they double-down and make it illegal for anyone else to mention the problems.

to answer the OP, because he, like many of our own apologists would shove their own loaf down the Bengazi before they'd ever own up to being Pete Tong.

I can understand people not trusting the Express.


Rabid right wing fascist, racist, xenophobe?





Unbelievably CNN have tried to pin this LATEST riot on Trump.

[Samjenko]

^ Love styx. He do look like an SJW, don't you think?

[CrapAtCryptics]

he reminds me of the Swedish chef - makes about as much sense also

[-Talbot-]

This chap asks 'how can facts be racist, facts are facts'
Well facts on Answerbank are considered racist if they are not palatable facts

It's all a coincidence don't you know? It has nothing to do with a runaway immigrant flow into Sweden, or France, or Germany, or..........!
It is the fault of the people who report it and disagree with such policies, not the ones who have encouraged it.

//Like the millions of other ordinary Swedes whom he now sees himself as one of, Mohammed Abbas fears his dream society is now under threat. When he first arrived in Stockholm as refugee from Iran in 1994, the vast Husby council estate where he settled was a mixture of locals and foreigners, a melting pot for what was supposed to be a harmonious, multi-racial paradise//
//"In the old days, the neighbourhood was more Swedish and life felt like a dream, but now there are just too many foreigners, and a new generation that has grown up here with just their own culture," he said, gesturing towards the hooded youths milling around in Husby's pedestrianised shopping precinct.//

The words of an immigrant into Sweden. He will need to be re-educated surely.

Well the BBC have caught up
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-39047455

They couldn't resist just saying some stuff though.

''At a rally in Florida on Saturday, Mr Trump suggested Sweden could face the kind of terrorist attacks that have hit France, Belgium and Germany.''


I do find it a constant dilemma though ... point out there is a problem and get accused of bigotry or pretend it isn't happening in the hope it will all go away.

[Samjenko]

BBC 'Some people suggest Mr Trump might have been referring to a clip aired on Fox News on Friday night of a documentary about alleged violence committed by refugees in Sweden.'

Er, no that would be the actual violence as seen on camera. Liars.

The public are assumed to be fools. Sadly, in many instances, that assumption is accurate.
