In other news: Erdogan wants to give himself even more power. There is no doubt that Turkey IS rapidly descending into a dictatorship

Apparently a spokesman for Sweden’s Minister for Home affairs Anders Ygeman has said it will likely take several years to deport failed asylum seekers, and that they'll receive free housing and financial aid (paid for by the taxpayer, naturally) until they go. I'm waiting for a slightly more reliable source to pick this up (if it will, it's not exactly something they're going to trumpet, is it?), but it sounds entirely plausible. Sweden Yes, after all.

Assuming you're referring to Ygeman's (who is the minister of the Within-Realm, by the way) statement that Sweden is probably (going by statistic experience) going to decline asylum to about 80 000 of the applicants, and assuming that that timeframe is correctly extrapolated from that number, it's been on the news here for the last couple of days.

Meanwhile in another part of Sweden 19 asylum seeking youth rioted because one of them was not allowed to go and buy candy late in the evening. The staff had to lock themselves inside a room as the poor refugees destroyed the home.

Lastly in Swedish news the main government part and traditionally Sweden's largest party, the Social Democrats, have gone under 25% support and are at the lowest percentage since Sifo (Sweden's foremost polling business) started keeping statistics on voter support in 1967.

Blech, Google Translate is useless...

About 18-19%, yeah. The grey column is the result of their December poll, and the coloured one their freshest January poll. Their percentage of the last election was 12.86%.

For comparison, in the election the Social Democrats got 31,01%, and are now at 23%.
The Moderates got 23,33% and are now the biggest party at 25%.

1946?

Dispersal and regrouping phase

Nah it'll be fine, Turks themselves are fighting hard to keep their Republic

Uhm what about right now Loud Whispers? We aren't exactly a threat to europe as far as i can see.

Germany spends more money trying to neutralize the likes of Poland and Britain than they do Russia, or Russia to us, has placed all of Europe outside of the Isles, Norway and Switzerland under its economic yoke, and has grown fond of taking away everyone's sovereignty and democracy because Germany says so, is clambering its aryan tentacles into moist Franco-British armed forces in a desperate effort to get more non-Germans to die fighting non-Germans on behalf of non-Germans so they can fuck Germans too with the same tentacles...

No, Germany must be stopped, before they turn everywhere into Sweden.

Bouchart is out, just like nullBolt.  If you can't discuss this topic without encouraging specific acts of murder, you should move on to other threads.

[TheBiggerFish]

Yikes.  That's two bans from stuff in this thread now...

[TheBiggerFish]

I'm pretty sure it was not a joke.
All the same, it seems a bit much...

[Toady One]

He had a warning for antisemitism in 2012, and was going on about jews and white germans along with his refugee grenade thing.  Whether or not it is shit-posting is for some Poe's law analyst to decide on some place that isn't this forum, but those kind of posts won't fly here.

[TheBiggerFish]

Was not aware of the earlier warning.

Ditto.

[Loud Whispers]

Lol this whole damn mess is bringing out the worse of everyone

[Helgoland]

If throwing dud grenades is the worst our local xenophobes can manage, I'm sorta relieved.

[martinuzz]

Thanks Toady, too bad it was again nescessary to interfere. Now let's hope we can have a friendly and polite news sharing discussion here for a while without a need for warnings or bans.

Holy Shit... Bouchart was actually... Scott Adams?

[Baffler]

Damn, I liked Bouchart. He will be missed.

In non-refugee related news, The EU announced measures yesterday intended to combat tax evasion by multinational corporations. The measures seem to have come about mostly because of the abuses of tech companies, but others will be affected by the changes as well. I honestly couldn't be happier, they siphon a lot of money out of a lot of the places they do business in.
