'On the brink' is a bit ott but pretty grim. What's the back story here?

I agree - the article doesn't appear to tell us what they are on the "BRINK" (their capitals) of.

Thanks. Still not sure what they are on the brink of.

The last sentence of the report originally linked stated:

"It comes as police across the Scandinavian country pleaded for the government to grant them more resources as the force is struggling to cope with crime in "no-go" areas".

The link I posted explained the reasons why the "no-go" areas are described as such.

"On the brink" would I imagine mean being unable to cope with the problems caused with the resources (manpower) they have.

Thanks. My brother moved to Sweden from the UK 23 years ago; I wondered if I should ask that they all come back to avoid disaster. I get the feeling though that it's a right wing newspaper trying to hype up something that's going wrong in a left wing country. Edited to add that since it's the Express, the idea is clearly that their readership should add in their own minds the words "of disaster" after "BRINK".

I didn't know about the problems in Sweden until I saw this thread on PH have not seen any news about this problem which I find quite shocking.

This clip paints a very dark picture of where Sweden is heading is really this bad?

Seems to be an angry bloke with something of an agenda.

It's not just Malmo with the car fires, we had 3 cars torched last night in a small village close by. It happens all across Sweden fairly regularly and doesn't really have much to do with the issues to do with migration, it is more likely bored teenagers in most instances (once they run out of Pokemon to catch).

The police here are just as out of touch with reality as anywhere else, but they are severely under-resourced also which is not helping them and recruitment is a major issue for them. It is down to the Socialists for this, they are happy to spend Millions of SEK on re-building every bus stop in the city whether they needed it or not and underfunding the police!

For info, in the UK I believe it to be the case that we have more police and more police per head than in the 1950's. Additionally, since then the police have given a number of jobs away to be done by others... off the top of my head (IIRC) CPS, protecting buildings, prisons too (?). Problems with the police stem from what they're made to do.

Even the most blinkered socialist would have to acknowledge that the cultural enrichment programme in Sweden has gone awry.

Our kommun is really struggling, 22 million sek in the red and counting - lots of public workers only able to work 75% of their shifts at the moment. But more and more immigrants seem to be arriving in town and getting massive hand outs and living above the Systembolaget for free. It's these kind of things that will eventually lead to something stupid happening when the far right gain enough traction with more moderate people... (all in my opinion)

Brilliant sharia and gays thrown from buildings in ten,nine....

[Driller]

Well that's not going to work is it?

How can you control and subjugate the general population by the divide and conquer method, giving them reasons to be constantly worried and stressed and fight amongst themselves thus leaving them no time or energy to attack the government, if you go and move the immigrants out?

Whatever next, a police force and judicial system which tackles crime effectively?

[Mothersruin]

How do these morons get even remotely close to power?

[jshell]

My Norsky colleagues are starting to rent out to refugees as per the Govt financed schemes in place. Better than sticking them all in huge refugee 'centres', I suppose.

I thought that was what the migrants were doing?
