that reads like immigrants getting caught in the crossfire by other immigrants, who in their right mind thought that opening the country up to Somalians etc was a good idea

That thread is grim. But, hey, celebrate the diversity.

Jeeeezus ! That’s just angering and depressing.

I’m sure the usual suspects will be along any minute to state that those who don’t want their 9yr old daughter raping is a ”far-right extremist”

That is absolutely horrifying. Very little response from the usual posters on NP&E, keeping very quiet indeed.

It isn't one or the other though is it? It isn't a case that if you don't vote for a particular party you approve of rape?

Anyway, "Usual posters"? Who are they?

What disappoints, every time, is the two-faced ‘kindness’ that recognises the obligation to take in refugees, but cares little enough about them to filter out economic and criminal migrants, let alone to help with their integration into western society.

Liberal to the point of irresponsibility. Immigrants and residents have a right to law and safety.

Get with the program Comrade. The rule of law, safety of the citizenry and the judicial system are all “far-right positions”.

Off to the re-education camps with you to learn some CRT and to beat that white privilege out of you.

I don't think any of that sounds far-right.
And yet I don't like the idea of a party set up in the '80s by neo-nazis. However photogenic they might be now.

Neither do I, but apparently all of the above are, along with freedom of expression, maths, working hard, marriage, self determination and being punctual.

Anyway, we’re getting slightly off topic here.

My apologies.

People can become less "extreme" in their views. Or they can be handily relabelled by the media so they're now the good guys. In any case, the statistics on crime points to where the problems are and one might assume that something should be done. No one has wanted to do anything about it, a new group of people do and here we are. The sad thing is that there'll be those who value what they've received and have worked to assimilate and integrate.

In there absence let me post. What is most disappointing is that Sweden, a country known for its tolerance, has joined the populism we see in many other countries.

As for the tweet. Let's see a right wing tweeter, check his other tweets, tweets about people with dark skin.

It seems it now a part of popular myth that Sweden has massive rise in rape. The problem is if you look at the same figures for the UK the rise in Sweden is small.

As for the tweet lots of use of percentages but using statistics in this way can be used to prove a point particularly if you do not offer any balance so as to score political points.

If you go back to the original academic study, which you will find on line. It is clear those from the ME and Africa are about 2.4 time likely to be convicted as those born in Sweden. However, it also shows they are significantly less well off and have more drug and personality problems.

So is the issue the ethnicity or the fact most immigrants will initially be at the lower end of society. Comparing rates against a similar Swedish population group would be useful but as the study comments data is in short supply.

After the statistics the tweet also focuses on individual cases of stranger rape. This is very misleading. Stranger rape is quite rare. Most rape happens inside where the victim knows the accused.

The tweet also ignores the biggest statistic. The vast majority of men from the ME and Africa DO NOT commit rape.

Interesting post. Purely speculation, but I also wondrof there is something in the demographic of immigration, compared to the general population.

I would hazard a guess that most violent rapists are youngish men. And I suspect that a disproportionate number of migrants fit that demographic too.

However, I di think there are issues around culture and integration, and what is meant by multi cultural society

Can't help feel this post plays the man not the ball, the implication is that people rape because they are poor and not due to attitudes that aren't compatible with western countries?

Interesting from the Spectator

https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/why-sweden-s-a...

Since the last election year, 2018, there have been almost 500 bombings (including hand grenades)
A 16 year old Armenian shot and kilked someone in a Gym.., fled to Armenia... and was granted sweedish citizenship whilst in hiding..

...at least 60 neighbourhoods where the Police say they have no control..

...some 240,000 chidren living under "honor related family norms" FGM??

Socialism is good for immigration, but not much else (other then calling everyone else far-right)

Can you tell us more - perhaps a link? I'm not doubting you by the way; just that you say it's been reported but not you've not seen much in the news. Cheers. smile
