Ahhh so that's the excuse
I imagine his "excuse" is that he isn't a violent criminal, which sorta holes your weak argument below the waterline doesn't it?Unless that's not the case - are you a bad person, Finlandia?

Citizensm1th is right though Fin, as an immigrant yourself you need to be aware of living in glass houses and all that.
I mean, you've only got to consider all those inner-city areas we're large swathes of Finnish people have moved in and are busily conducting gang-warfare, grenade attacks and pushing the rape count to the highest level the countries ever seen.
Honestly, you shouldn't be allowed an opinion.

Well if we must talk about the Finnish mustalaiset, they are afraid of dags and I can't ever recall seeing them doing any tarmacking, they have a fondness for horses and old Mercs though.
Generally they are a nuisance and they won't think twice about robbing you and may even threaten you with a knife while stealing your stuff.
But, they are not gang shooters or gang rapists, they don't blow s
t up or riot, quite the opposite, they keep a low profile (apart from how they dress) and are very friendly and polite (until they steal all your stuff).Fun fact about the Kale people, in the 17th century they were deported from the western part of Sweden to the eastern part, later to be known as Finland. The reason why they came to Sweden was that they were deported England and Scotland.

The Kale, Finnish or Welsh, are Romani.
Unlike Irish Travellers, they are not Finns or Welsh who, er, travel.
That's correct, there are some 15,000 of them seemingly floating back and forth between Finland and Sweden.Unlike Irish Travellers, they are not Finns or Welsh who, er, travel.

In Finland they are called mustalaiset or roomalaiset, in Sweden they are called romer, resande folket or zigenare.
I didn't know they can be found in Wales too.

From Wiki: "The original Finnish Kale were Romanisael who came to Finland via Sweden after being deported from Sweden in the 17th century. The ancestors of Finnish, Swedish and Norwegian Romani are English and Scottish Romani, who were deported from the kingdoms of Scotland and England. In 1637, all Romani groups were declared outlaws who could be hanged without trial; this practice was discontinued in 1748."

Re the bold text, wiki gives the reason they left England/Scotland all those years ago. They must have been doing some bad stuff in England/Scotland to have had a "hang on sight" order against them for over a hundred years! :

There's a Scottish folk song called MacPherson's Rant composed by a half-gypsy the week he was due to be executed for, among other things, being an "Egyptian"..From Wiki: "The original Finnish Kale were Romanisael who came to Finland via Sweden after being deported from Sweden in the 17th century.

He's a famous case because he was the illigitimate son of a local Laird and thus he had access to a level of education and privelege. After his father died he ended living a life of cattle theft, but evaded capture until walking into an ambush at a market.
He composed his lament and offered his fiddle to anyone who would play it at his funeral. When noone came forward, fearing being associated with him, he smashed the fiddle and declared that noone would play it. The pieces were collected by his fathers clan and are still held in a clan museum.
His writing was reworked by Robert Burns and thus has survived to this day as a folk song.

How's that for thread drift.
The Swedish foreign minister straightening out a few questionmarks about the Swedish covid-19 strategy.
”I’m the minister of foreign affairs, I don’t know if we have the right science of herd immunity or whatever.”
Once the criticism started rolling in here in Sweden, she tries to turn it into ¨it's because I am a woman.¨
I don't know if I should laugh or cry...

If it is so clear cut that the Swedes have been done over by their elected representatives, why don't they just simply vote for a party that will look after their interests?
Good question and I don't now the answer to this, but suspect the situation is similar to the question of why America voted trump into office. The phrase "least worst option" springs to mind.Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
