Taking my wife over there for the weekend. Best room at the Raddisson and Frantzen for a meal.
What's not to like, as PH say.
You guys sound like you are chewing on lemons when talking about Sweden, it's a great place.
Cheers.
I think that you are a complete hypocritical idiot, who thinks he is smarter than he actually is. You type posts not to give your true thought, but merely for effect.What's not to like, as PH say.

A case in point is your mindless posts on the climate change threads, pretending that you're a sensitive new-age guy by typing complete crap (and adding absolutey nothing to the debate), it's all our fault etc., yet, over on General Gassing, you have a post that revels in your old diesel spewing out particulates, and how much you enjoy the smoke emanating from your dirty old exhausts!
I am sure I am not the only one who can see through your crap.

It seems like more of a sub-conscious "conspiracy" brought about by a sort of cultural collapse across the west, but especially in Europe. As a culture or civilisation we seem to have made the ultimate error somewhere and are unable or unwilling to perpetuate ourselves. We have negligible birth rates, huge youth unemployment, pension and welfare liabilities that we really can't hope to cover, and a society that is aging rapidly. We're culturally in Shakespeare's 6th age of man "the lean and slippered pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side, His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide, For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,"
IIRC you read Fate of Empires? What we see is quite in line with what is written in there. IMO our broad error is the decline in Christianity (and no I'm not really religious, although I recognise where our values come from). If there wasn't abortion on demand in the west I think we would have quite reasonable birth rates.
He offered another mindless post yesterday on the thread about the CPS - totally off topic and offering nothing: to whit:
"I get my pork scratchings out and love reading the right wing thoughts of PH peeps on the lefty public squanderings.
As if business was any better ..."
Utter nonsense. An obvious cretin.
And here, again, conflating dislike of wrong behaviour and a govts. incompetence in allowing liars and miscreants in unchecked, mingling with the genuinely needy, compounded by their lack of will to tackle many incidents fully, with racism. A prat.

As a heartless right winger I would be happy to treat the current situation as an invasion and repel it very robustly with all the force necessary to show that we will not accept illegal jumping of our borders. In the longer term though Europe needs to be self-sustaining and it needs to be willing to defend itself.
The trend does not favour your wishes. Edited by Sam All on Friday 12th February 15:41

According to the ever reliable dailymail the 'youth' who murdered the youth worker is over 18. I would say over 21 actually.

Several people started brawling in an asylum accommodation in Ljusne, outside Söderhamn. One person has died and three people have been injured.
The area has been evacuated and it seems like the police are getting ready to storm the accommodation.

For me, I think what helps is the problem is the cult of greed that was once the province of the aristocracy/establishment but now it's all persuasive, in all classes; mixed in with the shareholder/consumption/want/lack of accountability world Britain/West Europe now live in.Halb said:

Love the bit that its Afghans that are escaping the atrocities of war, yet when across in whatever country they are in, making or receiving money, they happily go on holiday in Afghanistan several times a year.
I think the trick is to bring the atrocities with you, one way or another. That way Afghanistan is a bit nicer when you go back. Du1point8 said:
