This is not a Daily Mail report, but one from the Guardian no less, and these groups in Europe are not trouble making skin heads, no they are decent Europeans from all walks of life that have begun to see the light and the problems associated with mass immigration.

One was a 66-year-old retired canteen worker who had always voted for Sweden's Social Democratic party, until last Sunday, that is. when she broke the habit of a lifetime by voting for an extreme-right movement which is accused of being Islamophobic

I wonder when Britain will wake up and smell the coffee?

Fair enough boxtops you have put up a good argument, but first let me add that three letter word.........BUT.

Had you just put

/// statistics - they can always been manipulated to suit any argument ///

There would have been no reason for me to accuse you of inferring it was lies.

/// so how could a local poll here be said to be representative of the local community? ///

I think what you call a local poll, was in fact a local election, you know where one goes along to put a cross by the person you want to represent you, so in fact it is representative of the local community, or at least those that bother to turn out to vote.

/// which is why I rarely read daily newspapers these days, and I certainly couldn't scour through them the way you do, apparently seeking contentious issues to flag up here.///

This is the whole point of the News Section of AnswerBank, without persons such as me and others there would not be such a site to 'flag up here' and then persons who very really read newspapers would have nowhere to 'flag up' their criticisms of other persons views.

Thank you TCL:)

Oh and BTW AOG had you bothered to read your own link you could have spared yourself the embarrassment of claiming that one in three voted for the Sweden Democrats. Quote:

Åkesson, a dapper, bespectacled 31-year-old, celebrated his party winning nearly 6% of the vote by declaring: "We're in."

I have not embarrassed myself I only quoted the report, and yes I did read it all.

I don't know what your point is, but is 'one in three' 6% of the national vote?

Or is 'one in three' those who voted in her suburb and 6% is what the party gained nation wide?

[swedeheart]

The latter. As anyone who reads the article can see. Whereas if one didn't read the article your post of 11.34 could only be taken to suggest that 33% of all Swedes voted for the Sweden Democrats.

AOG, please stop using such using American expressions as 'wake up and smell the coffee'.The practice offends me, a white, native Briton of true British ancestry. Life's bad enough in Britain when there are foreigners here, without someone British importing their various expressions, languages and dialects.( I could put LOL but I don't want to follow your bad example)

[fredpuli47]

Over using!

Thank you for pointing that out Fred, I didn't realise how much those pesky foreigners have infiltrated into our very language.

Must stop watching all American films, in fact I must be careful with those new Bollywood ones too, just in case some of their lingo infiltrates my mind also.

Have a nice day!!!!!!!!!!!! blimey here I go again.
