Interesting, we're always told to learn from the Scandinavians on equality. Let's see how it plays out for them.

Do any of the politicians who let in these immigrants live in that town?

Maybe it's just me, but if I threatened the police with my knives or swords, I think I'd expect to be shot.

Multiculturalism in action unfortunately. Immigration is fine if the immigrants assimilate to a reasonable degree and accept the mores of the host country but too many seem to 'self-ghetto-ise' if you'll forgive the made-up word.

Father in Law is a, now retired, working class Swede and his view and that of his neighbours is that the immigrants are not doing their duty to integrate. Not learning Swedish and expecting their cultural values to be upheld above those of Sweden.

It's quite similar to here in many ways but their smaller population seems to make the effects more obvious.

Yes, I lived and worked there many years and one could see what was going on. One day walking into the office with a Swedish friend, this in a place over two hours north of Stockholm, and she says, "Some days I feel like a stranger in my own country."

To which I replied, "Yes I know what you mean, but I am a stranger in your country."

She laughed and said "But you are one of us." Didn't really know how to take that, it was meant as a compliment I think, but it could have also been bit racist, maybe.

But as the article in the local says, it's left Swedes born and bred wondering what the hell has hit their nation. OK Finnish gypsies have always been an issue, one wrong look and you get shanked, but recently with asylum seekers, e.g. take Malmo.

Lots of Central European, in particular German, Jews settled there in the 30s. Even 10 years ago violent anti Semitism was evident from the more recent asylum seekers, who also deliberately targeted Swedes. I've heard asylum seekers brag that they target Swedish kids for street robbery them as they don't fight back but just give up their phones at first asking.

Sounds as fked up as here, more proof (if we needed it) that mufti-cluturalism doesn't work.

This seems to be one of the issues, another issue is the spending of tax money. A few years ago a considerable amount of tax money was spent to teach immigrant women to ride bicycles, it sticks in the eyes of old generations that their care homes and hospitals are then being closed down due to lack of money.

I have family who are Swedish/in Sweden and noted in a thread a couple of years ago the increasing number of stories of deliberate attacks on white Swedes by immigrants in Malmo, particularly in and around bus stations and rail stations, partly for theft/easy pickings but also for 'fun' etc. as quoted by a good number of the instigators.

And, of course, the obvious backlash and a rise in attacks by Swedes on immigrants, including the well reported shooting spree. Madness.

The attacks on Jews have hit another level and have led a good number to, basically, flee the city.

The history books are full of "rape, burn, and pillage". It seems our short respite (relatively speaking) is over.
