"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPtNON6sHXw Is this fact based or opinion based? is this right wings truth or just truth? " Paul Joseph Watson. Enough said. As I mentioned on a previous thread, he decided to illustrate the 'offer' he put out with a series of images supposedly to depict how bad it was... apart from 3 of the 4 photos were from right wing extremists attacking immigrants. I would guess sending a camera crew into most (white, british) violent council estates in the UK and you'd also get people not wanting you filming. -Matt | |||

"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPtNON6sHXw Is this fact based or opinion based? is this right wings truth or just truth? why enough said? 12 min vid and you reply after 6mins, so you no idea about its content, this is the problem with opinions getting in the way of facts. i watch left and right and liberals. pjw always provides his truth and his facts for people to make up there own minds, but to do that you would have to watch it i guess Paul Joseph Watson. Enough said.

"again... funtimes... since you didn't answer what matt actually said... we can try it again.... So, some right wing blowhard Paul Watson offered to pay for tickets and accommodation for any journos wanting to see what Malmo was actually like. Fair enough. But in response to the flood of offers he got taking him up he tweeted a series of 4 pics along with: "All you lefty idiots accepting a “trip to Sweden”. Can you read? I said you’d be staying here. Good luck. " only the 4 pics he decided to illustrate his point with were looked up and mostly identified: First pic: 2008 story about a Polish far-right group planning to attack immigrants. Second pic: It's a 2009 protest about Israel competing in the Davis Cup. No immigrants here. Third pic: no source found. Could be anything. Fourth pic: 2008 story about student squatters angry about lack of affordable housing. No immigration angle. Whether his point on Malmo is true or not, I really don't see why he sees the need to use irrelevant and misleading pics to try and prove his point. I mean, if he actually had any conviction he wouldn't need to lie about it all. He has since deleted his tweet now as clearly showing himself off to be a complete idiot. http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/paul-joseph-watson-twitter-sweden-trip_uk_58ab04f6e4b037d17d29b00a" thats not this video, im asking if its right wing truth or just truth. not hear to defend somebody i have no thoughts on, other than his video has some very serious content that needs discussing not shutting down if was going to only watch people who never make mistakes, then be nobody to watch | |||

But you have to always look at the context of information. If there is someone telling you something and they repeatedly lie or mis-represent things, how do you react to what they say? You think that when searching for photos to illustrate his challenge he deliberately picked photos that were actually capturing the opposite of what he was trying to push? e.g. a photo of an immigrant community centre being attacked by militant right wing extremists? Or do you think he went to Google Images and typed in "Sweden" and picked the first 4 he saw? Hint: both are bad... one is deliberately seeking to mis-represent. The other is proof that picking a bunch of random images and them turning out to represent your opposite view possibly means your view isn't as widespread as you think. Then going on to spout shit statistics to attempt to justify something... again... if you actually understand the statistics the represent the opposite of what he is saying. If you are saying that 90% of a population is a certain demographic, then say that the majority of crimes reported in that area are from that demographic, then that make sense. If the majority of the crimes were *not* from that demographic then you should be concerned, as that means that they are being committed from another demographic. ie. if less than 90% of crimes committed in the area in question are from muslim immigrants then it means that muslim immigrants are committing a *lower* than average number of crimes for their population density. ie. if you see "80% of crimes are by muslim immigrants" in an area that is 90% muslim immigrants, then that means that muslim immigrants are committing *less* crime than average. I'm not saying everything is roses and unicorn farts in Sweden right now. Far from it. What I am saying is that the situation is being used by the likes of Paul Watson, Trump, etc to further their own agenda. Does Trump give a fuck what is going on in Sweden? Hell no... he just wants to use it as an aid to justify his own shitty policies. -Matt | |||

The content of the vid has shocked me, and im not easy shocked. i always thought Sweden was safe crime free place, now its rape capital of Europe and all in past few years plus the footage of camera crews being ran over and punched is beyond belief. they guests in the country, you would think they would be happy to be filmed and show how happy they are the country has taken them in. | |||

Its real, an its actually worse ! You right about wondering if this is right wing truth or just the truth ! I say it is the truth , that for a long time in Sweden has been censored by the state and the mainstream media ! The truth should not be left or right, it should be able to stand absent of politics ! To prove my point here are some vids , so you can decide for yourself ! Censorship by the state : Ever heard of Swedish police code 291 ? This Vid is done by a muslim ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15gDRLkYvbU Here is another https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9MjN6fh1z0 To put in context ; https://www.youtube.com /watch?v=3KSJY0c8QWw And this happened a year ago : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KSJY0c8QWw So.. you decide | |||

" OK, look I'm trying to just justify things here, but please look deeper into some of the stats there. "Rape capitol of Europe"... be aware that that may not be what you think... e.g. "As for the specific issue of rape, there was a 13 percent one-year increase in the number of reported rapes, which totaled 6,560 in 2016, according to preliminary numbers from the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention. But that total is slightly lower than reported rapes in 2014 and about the same as the number in 2011." So in 5 years, the number of rapes has not increased. "2006, a year after the country passed a law expanding its definition of rape to include cases in which a victim is intoxicated or asleep. The yearly number gradually increased through 2011 and has fluctuated in recent years." In 2006 the definition of rape changed. and... "On the face of it, it would seem Sweden is a much more dangerous place” than other countries, the BBC wrote. But, Klara Selin, a sociologist at the National Council for Crime Prevention, told the news organization that the difference could be attributed to the way Sweden documents rape – if a woman reports being raped multiple times by her husband that’s recorded as multiple rapes, for instance, not just one report – and the culture in the country, which encourages women to report such crimes. “[T]he major explanation is partly that people go to the police more often,” Selin told the BBC, and yet another factor was the broadening of the definition of rape in the 2005 legislation." All from a fact checking site found if you do a cursory search for info online about the stats. Nothing is black or white, and especially with stats you have to look at exactly how they are collated and definitions of what is being counted. But hopefully above is enough information to make you at least question the numbers you have so far seen, and think about them further. -Matt | |||

"We've got two people on the thread who know the place first hand saying there is a major problem. There are a number of youtube videos showing riots, film crews being attacked and police officers saying they will not go into muslim no-go areas. And to cap it Sweden's 'feminist' government dressed up as slaves and went to Tehran to grovel before the ayatollah. But the conclusion drawn here...is that it's all a right-wing plot!? Well, from the videos I've seen...NOT available on the BBC, Sky or anywhere else in the mainstream media, unidentified, muslim 'asylum seekers' are turning parts of Sweden into the same carbon copy islamo-fascist, misogynist dungheaps they've just left." You never seem to have any problem finding the fuel to feed your hyperactive fears. Do you not even feel slightly concerned that it is only right wing extremists who are telling the world of the horrors that are befalling Sweden? I mean it is not like ordinary people, groups, councils, States and the government are broadcasting this shit. It is verging on the criminally insane that people will go out of their way to find things that support an ideology that is founded on hatred and fear and worse, that others will actually fabricate "news" knowing that there are people out there who will swallow it up as concrete fact for no other reason than they want to believe it. | |||

"I started watching it but then just as the fight was kicking off, some old geezer in a disabled buggy ran the bad guy over good style. I couldn't watch the rest for heavy giggling . More power to the disabled I say!" Yes...the disabled old geezer is probably from a generation where good, respect for others,and values matter ! How sad is it that amongst all present there, he was the only one who had the balls to do something about it The tragedy of a lot of these old , retired Swedes who own a home they bought 30 or 40 years ago in a decent peaceful neighbourhood, Have now see it invaded and taken over by this Scum | |||

"Those that denys what is happening there is mostly liberals and lefties." I actually lived in Malmo 3 years ago for 6 months - granted its not a life time, and I was at the local uni for a research posting, working a huge amount of the time. Yet I never really saw the excessive violence that is claimed to be a regular occurrence. I noticed that in some areas that - admittedly looked like British council estates, there were people who were loud, rude, seemed a bit aggressive. But then I just kind of shrugged that off, all societies have groups of bad eggs, and I grew up on a shit council estate so I know how to deal with those who intimidate or threaten/do attack people. If you went to poor council estates in Britain and shoved a camera in angry, frustrated, young and old men's faces, you'd probably get a similar amount of crap from them. What I'm trying to say, is they seem like they are looking for trouble. They look like they are aiming to provoke a certain response. Ask any cocky teenager and they'd tell you that they could get the same response from chavs if they wanted. That said, I do believe that our nation and a lot of the western nations, need to get stricter on punishment and reforming individuals who engage in criminal activity. From both national, and migrant backgrounds. | |||

Well, from the videos I've seen...NOT available on the BBC, Sky or anywhere else in the mainstream media, unidentified, muslim 'asylum seekers' are turning parts of Sweden into the same carbon copy islamo-fascist, misogynist dungheaps they've just left. we have had censored news for years, or out right bullshit from the news. no question about alt media taking over now, hence why they attacking pewdiepie, 53 million subs, he reaches more minds than all MSM combined and nobody pulling his strings, they are soon going to be thing of the past unless they start being reporters once again and covering things with no bias or government agenda " Thank you, someone finally acknowledges that the media and press have almost always had a vested interest/bias. Just so happens, as political views, both left and right become ever more polarised, so does the medias reporting and protest against them. Just so happens that the 'alt', far, and very hard right, are very good at convincing others that the press has suddenly turned against them over night. | |||

You never seem to have any problem finding the fuel to feed your hyperactive fears. Do you not even feel slightly concerned that it is only right wing extremists who are telling the world of the horrors that are befalling Sweden? I mean it is not like ordinary people, groups, councils, States and the government are broadcasting this shit. It is verging on the criminally insane that people will go out of their way to find things that support an ideology that is founded on hatred and fear and worse, that others will actually fabricate "news" knowing that there are people out there who will swallow it up as concrete fact for no other reason than they want to believe it." If the 55 no go zones are true im disgusted its not being taught in schools etc, thats why debate is so important rather than the shut down of speech we have all lived in, some like it, its suits them, others hate it, family members fought wars to protect it i was brought up sticks and stones, you no the rest, but was also taught to listen to them disagree with as people you agree with can't teach you much and if can't teach you at least try to understand. and now the echo chamber is mature the west is split what seemed to be 50/50 but for ever growing on the right and history could well have a whole new chapter brewing that i don't want to be part of but like us all will be dragged into it 1 way or the other | |||

"Those that denys what is happening there is mostly liberals and lefties. I actually lived in Malmo 3 years ago for 6 months - granted its not a life time, and I was at the local uni for a research posting, working a huge amount of the time. Yet I never really saw the excessive violence that is claimed to be a regular occurrence. I noticed that in some areas that - admittedly looked like British council estates, there were people who were loud, rude, seemed a bit aggressive. But then I just kind of shrugged that off, all societies have groups of bad eggs, and I grew up on a shit council estate so I know how to deal with those who intimidate or threaten/do attack people. If you went to poor council estates in Britain and shoved a camera in angry, frustrated, young and old men's faces, you'd probably get a similar amount of crap from them. What I'm trying to say, is they seem like they are looking for trouble. They look like they are aiming to provoke a certain response. Ask any cocky teenager and they'd tell you that they could get the same response from chavs if they wanted. That said, I do believe that our nation and a lot of the western nations, need to get stricter on punishment and reforming individuals who engage in criminal activity. From both national, and migrant backgrounds." Alot have changed since those 3 years ago, it is the difference between night and day. | |||

That's a bit unfair, ALL immigrants bring their home cultures good and bad with them, they ALL try to rebuild their homeland in the new host country, you only have to look at the Spanish Costa to see that. I think ALL country's except the good bits and downplay the bad bits, I'm pretty sure the Spanish were told that they would integrate the British out of their culture of getting pissed out of their heads and then starting fights!. Ha yeah good look on that front Spanish and good luck to the swedes neither will succeed but it will be a noble effort | |||

" Look, whilst I do think there is an overbearing PC attitude to certain things, currently in western politics, I also question why the hard and 'alt' right don't question their own sources narratives. I mean come on, islamic terrorism, left wing or anti-nationalist demos, non-white domestic violence are reported on to the pin-head - there are no excuses attempted to be made. Yet, the hard and alt right are the first to pipe up about how someone might be 'mentally ill' or had a 'poor family background', if a white guy attacks, assaults, commits a hate crime, or guns down non-whites. I'm fine with strong answers and responses, but don't ignore the hypocrisy amongst the reporting and opinions of those who you support, listen to and align yourself with. | |||

There are better ways of tackling PC culture and a government who supposedly allow 'no go areas' to form, than to vote for a party which subtly and whose supporters openly advocates for white ethno-states, | |||

"Those that denys what is happening there is mostly liberals and lefties." Most people just want factually accurate discussion. Sounds like you just want to believe any old bollox that fits your own pre-conceived world view. Time and time again the claims of these right wing hate-mongers are shown to be at the very least a massive distortion of the facts, and usually are shown to be completely false. Give me facts, and no matter how uncomfortable they might be for my "lefty liberal" views they prove, at least we can debate and make proper change. | |||

"Police sealed off an apartment complex in the Lindängen area of Malmo last night after a grenade explosion! A grenade explosion!? Must be a one-off? But according to reports recorded in Wiki under the heading "List of Grenade attacks in Sweden"(!?) the Swedish police say that: "the increase of grenades in Sweden is not comparable to other EU-countries, but rather comparable to the usage in countries that are war zones"!? There were over 30 grenade attacks reported in Malmö alone by August 2015 (only 25 in 2014!?) and over 50 bomb and grenade attacks throughout Sweden in 2016!?

"'lead a horse to water' = go translate these webpages and ignore the bits that don't prove my point. Also please accept what one newspaper says even though no other outlets are reporting it. " Well if that one doesn't work for you here is another that applies ! "You cant argue against a close mind" or " The highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you don't know anything about" If you had been actually paying attention to previous posts you would have noticed other links to official state sources.

Here are some actual facts. http://www.government.se/articles/2017/02/facts-about-migration-and-crime-in-sweden/ lol you do know they dont publish all of it?. Source for this claim?It is on alternative media Oh, great Actually Shag, its not only on alternative media , here are links to official SVT Swedish state tv ! its in Swedish so for all but Shag..... use Google Translate ! http://www.svt.se/nyheter/inrikes/info-om-flyktinginsatser-lamnas-inte-ut http://www.svt.se/nyheter/inrikes/fa-brott-kopplade-till-flyktingar And Swedens biggest daily lefty tabloid: http://www.aftonbladet.se/debatt/article22226950.ab So.... comments ? From one of your links, via google translate: "Refugees are involved in less than one percent of the interventions that the police do in Sweden, shows statistics Dagens Nyheter developed." Wow, less than 1%, powerful stuff I think you got lost in translation and you didn't translate the whole article, but I suspect you are dishonest enough to do it on purpose , because you conveniently "forgot" the other 2 links Yes just confirmed it this is the part you missed the facts bit, by not clicking on it: "Facts: Code 291 The code was first used by 15 October and will be used until the end of February. There are all events that can be linked to individuals who are in the Migration Board's reception system in Sweden who receive code 291st Police would not say how many cases with the code, but according to the Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet, these are about 5000 cases, until the end of January" Fact is that what you put into question was that shag replied to you , it could be found in alternative media. I proved it is in mainstream media , but You are still in denial So lets recap: 1- 291 is a Fact that influences crime stats! 2- Its not a "right wing conspiracy" , and its even reported on mainstream media. So MAN up and admit you were wrong You haven't proved the slightest thing. Why should I bother to translate all your links when the very first sample I did failed to support your case? Your mainstream media source is a single Swedish newspaper. Why are no other sources reporting this? Oh right, it's a media cover up... You remind me of that saying; "You can lead a horse to water , but you cant make him drink !" Or should it be an ass in this case Sure, resort to personal insults if you can't prove your case.

"Police sealed off an apartment complex in the Lindängen area of Malmo last night after a grenade explosion! A grenade explosion!? Must be a one-off? But according to reports recorded in Wiki under the heading "List of Grenade attacks in Sweden"(!?) the Swedish police say that: "the increase of grenades in Sweden is not comparable to other EU-countries, but rather comparable to the usage in countries that are war zones"!? There were over 30 grenade attacks reported in Malmö alone by August 2015 (only 25 in 2014!?) and over 50 bomb and grenade attacks throughout Sweden in 2016!? So Sweden, now not only European premiership champion of rape and sexual assault but brand leader in...grenade attacks!? All part of the new 'normal' in Sweden's perfect multicultural society run by the world's first feminist government! Sorry, but I'm really struggling to see the link between feminism and hand grenades, can someone please explain it for me. Has the government started putting free grenades in boxes of tampons or something? " Ok ! its a root cause that results in a contradiction ! The feminist policies facilitated some groups of people that came to Sweden and are behind these attacks. The contradiction lies in the fact that these people for cultural and religious reasons oppress and discriminate women! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gOvT9dmpA4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTVtYvVwUXg colourful language in this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdH7Nqz32-k&list=PLo0ElGp48iyJqyeqk-_KeYjIz0z-PU5bV&index=8 | |||

"Correlation does not always equal causation." Who knew that the number of people who drowned by falling into a swimming-pool correlates with the number of films Nicolas Cage appeared in? | |||

"You're trying too hard to find a correlation here. You don't know these people, you don't know what they intended. You try to compile statistics and correlate them to a result that amounts to nothing more than speculation. " You mean amounts to their view. Plus Nicolas cage retired to save people. | |||

" In denial .... Facts and evidence don't matter. " No, the exact opposite. Facts and evidence matter hugely. That is why it is so important they are used correctly and that people don't try to take random statistics and try and correlate them and assume they are then related. Or draw false conclusions from them. e.g. like Paul Watson, the right-wing nutjob who runs Prison Planet, the site that your the guy who you keep posting YouTube vids of also contributes to. He was the one who came up with that 'Sweden Challenge' that spectacularly backfired on him and made him look like an idiot.. In his latest video on Sweden he says that one neighbourhood is 90% immigrant muslims. He then goes on to exclaim that the police report that the majority of crimes recorded are from muslim immigrants, like that proves that muslim immigrants cause a disproportionally high level of crime. Whereas instead that is just selection bias. I'd be more worried if muslim immigrants were NOT behind the majority of the crimes, as that would suggest some other faction committing an above-average proportion of the crimes. -Matt | |||

"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPtNON6sHXw Is this fact based or opinion based? is this right wings truth or just truth? " Hey funbased. What is fact and what is opinion? Isn't fact something that is proven by evidence? I.e. I asked 10 people are they a remainer. 6 said no. That's a fact? If I recorded it yes. So if I say 60% of the population are not remainers? Is that fact? What if I ask the 4 remainers do you have breakfast. They all say yes. So 100% of the remainers have breakfast. I can say all remainers eat breakfast. Is that fact or opinion? It's based on facts. | |||

In a matter of 5 or 6 years SD, The Sweden Democrats , went from 3% to over 23 % (depending on the poll) They now are, soon will be, the biggest party in Sweden. While I dont like their program , they are currently the ONLY party in Sweden that has a realistic view of the country. To Clarify ! They are not Far right ! The actual program they have is based on the social democrats (Swedish socialists ) from the 50ties! The Folkhemmet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folkhemmet Funny how political "Labels" are misleading. So how can you label far right , a party that is based on Swedish socialist doctrine ? | |||

And I don't get the miss America diatribe ... so its you going off topic now... ? No it's you. The discussion is about fact vs opinion and correlation and causation. And that statistics are manipulated to support opinions. Nicolas cage and miss America are known examples of correlation does not imply causation. Simple mathematics. So in fact any data can be manipulated. It's not ignorance, it's being open that everything is not what it seems. Answer this. What is my bias? Your bias , resides in the fact you refuse to accept the mere possibility that Swedish reality is not what people like Shag ( a swede) , or me , that have experienced the country first hand , or disturbing events reported are true! You prefer to believe the politically correct official state line (propaganda). You label us as right wing conspiracy theory anti immigration/muslim nuts ! lol...Now I have nuts.... but use those for fun , that's why I´m on Fab That is right, they are liberal and lefties and are blind to what is happening there. Um I'm a lefty by hand. Not by politics. I am a green and not very liberal..Right handed though. What happened to tonys nuts."now i have nuts" " I'm struggling to keep up with people's writing hand. I assume I'm the only real lefty. | |||

"OK I'll bite. Can we start again. What's the truth about Sweden? they have elections next year and the far right are leading in the polls An why do you think that is ?

"Wilders is because both the labour and conservative government ignored the poor. Wilders is using that angle. But he's just another conservative career politician who thinks he has a unique value proposition. But in fact he's a marketing machine." That is possibly true. Again though, the Dutch people have to ask. How did we get to the point where Wilders is leading the polls? I think your first sentence almost answers it correctly. I would just add that it isn't only the poor that have been ignored for years. The middle have been equally ignored. | |||

Shouldn't the poor be listened to and doesn't immigration affect the poorest most? | |||

"It's funny (nay scary really) that the left, including mainstream media, are very quick to jump on the bandwagon and start chucking labels at anyone or organisation or political party that doesn't fit into their agenda. Far Right, Alt Right, Fascist, Nazi, have all been chucked around at anything and everything. Trump, Brexit, UKIP, Marine le Penn, Wilders, AFD, criticism of Sweden, I could go on. The point they all miss (well with one or two rare exceptions) is why and how we got here. Whether we like it or not, immigration is the issue and has been for decades. Over the years many have tried to open a sensible debate on the subject only to be constantly shouted down as racist every time that they did. Mainstream politicians have always had this "we know best" attitude and along with the, mostly, liberal media have done everything they can to shut down any debate. Well now it has well and truly bitten them on the arse. However they never learn. We are still hearing the same old rhetoric. Racist, Nazi, Etc Etc. is pretty much all that they can come up with. I'm fully aware that quite a few on here support uncontrolled immigration but the vast majority of the public at large do not. Their stance may vary from "some controls" to "bolt the door" but it is only a very small (although loud) minority who support the open door. I would have thought (hoped) that Brexit, Trump, Sweden Etc. would have made the mainstream (both politicians and media) take a long hard look in the mirror and ask, as I did above, how the hell did we get here? Then let's have a sensible debate on the whole subject of immigration starting with a clean piece of paper. Unless that happens it will only get worse with two polarised sides and chaos in the middle. " The sensible debate is that immigration is a positive force in our economy, more workers, more taxes and more customers. This has been proven again and again and again. The irrational debate about foreigners is "I wouldn't want to live next to Romanians", or "sharia law is coming, run for the hills!", or "they get council houses and benefits from day 1" So which one do you want to have? A sensible debate or an irrational debate? | |||

" Agree that there needs to be a debate and an open and inclusive one involving all groups in society, commerce and politicians etc.. The rise of the far right is not however a fiction by the Guardian to sell copy and whilst there are radical extremists in society who want to do us harm it's not as the Mail, Express and others would portray the whole of one religious group whom are of that mindset.. Trying to present an objective view is labelled liberal wishy washy do goodie.. I don't know anyone on the left who supports open door immigration and it's not something on here expressed by many again on the left.. We need immigrants with skills who will contribute and for me they will always be welcome but we also need to accept that some of our own need to get off their arses and also contribute too.. People need to be objective but some have an agenda and that in this age of new speak and false news will only serve to widen any division.. I think views will become more entrenched and if brexit and trump are not a success for the core vote of that, some who want an instant answer to what there lot is and has become of late then it will only be exploited by some to cause further division.. | |||

Thing with Wilder's and others like him is they only blame foreign people coming and stealing our jobs. The reality of globalisation is often ignored.. You could never call someone like him objective in presenting a balanced view and a progressive programme for dealing with things.. He is of the mindset that fear and division and 'they' are to blame.. Like it or not it's the same tactics used by the likes of Goebell's and others .. | |||

Over the years many have tried to open a sensible debate on the subject only to be constantly shouted down as racist every time that they did. Mainstream politicians have always had this "we know best" attitude and along with the, mostly, liberal media have done everything they can to shut down any debate. Well now it has well and truly bitten them on the arse. However they never learn. We are still hearing the same old rhetoric. Racist, Nazi, Etc Etc. is pretty much all that they can come up with. I'm fully aware that quite a few on here support uncontrolled immigration but the vast majority of the public at large do not. Their stance may vary from "some controls" to "bolt the door" but it is only a very small (although loud) minority who support the open door. I would have thought (hoped) that Brexit, Trump, Sweden Etc. would have made the mainstream (both politicians and media) take a long hard look in the mirror and ask, as I did above, how the hell did we get here? Then let's have a sensible debate on the whole subject of immigration starting with a clean piece of paper. Unless that happens it will only get worse with two polarised sides and chaos in the middle. The sensible debate is that immigration is a positive force in our economy, more workers, more taxes and more customers. This has been proven again and again and again. The irrational debate about foreigners is "I wouldn't want to live next to Romanians", or "sharia law is coming, run for the hills!", or "they get council houses and benefits from day 1" So which one do you want to have? A sensible debate or an irrational debate?" Debating anything with you is akin to wading through treacle but I'll have a go. You say that immigration is a positive force for the economy. I will concede that purely from a growth point of view that is true. The economic activity of every person does effect growth, so more people equals more growth (where do you think Blair's came from?) However the effects on the individual can be completely the opposite. If the population increases in percentage terms by more than the overall growth, then the growth per household actually contract. It's a variation on the old saying that 50% of something is better than 100% of nothing. I notice again that you like to throw the old xenophobe and race slurs around and while I am concerned about the rise of Sharia in the west and the behaviour of some (but not all) eastern Europeans, among others, there are, as you know, many more facets to the debate. Despite increased funding (no matter what Corbyn likes to say) the NHS is creaking under the strain and in some areas is close to collapse. The whole infrastructure is being strained and adding another 300,000 or so per year to the population does not do anything to relieve the situation. It only adds to it. But they work and pay taxes you could say. In some cases you would be correct. I'm sure there are many from the EU and elsewhere who have good jobs and pay enough tax and NI to cover themselves. However a sizeable chunk, if not a majority, of the immigrants in the last few years do not. Anyone working on minimum wage, or these days quite a lot for less, either don't pay tax at all or pay such a small amount that it would never cover what they take from the system. Many are so poorly paid that they even qualify for in work benefits. Where is the positive force there? And whether you like it or not, there are still a large number who are just benefit tourists, or worse. I don't think anyone on here (least of all me) is advocating the "bolt the door" solution. I accept that some immigration is for the good of all. However I will never support and open door and all welcome no matter what policy. That is the road to ruin as Sweden is slowly and sadly waking up to. | |||

" I would agree with most of that. Of course there has been a rise in support for the "far" right and papers like the Guardian are fully entitled to report it. Where I disagree is where the line for "far" is drawn. In Germany for example I would call the NPD far right, but not AFD. In Britain I would call the BNP, Britain First and a few others far right, but not UKIP. As there is a moderate left there is also a moderate right and no debate on this subject will go anywhere until both sides accept it. | |||

I only mentioned Sweden at all in the last sentence and I base most of that on what our Swedish neighbours in Spain tell us. A university lecturer (hardly the image of a far right knuckle dragger) who has moved his young family to Spain and commutes from there to work in Sweden. Why? Because his wife and kids no longer fell safe there. In the last year the Swedish residents (not visitors) on our urbanisation has more than doubled and they all tell the same story. Sweden is no longer safe. So you read or watch whatever you like, and you are free to believe whatever you want to. However, I trust my neighbours. I will look up the youtube vid though, just to see what it is all about. | |||

The post above illustrates it perfectly. The centre are scared shitless of being labelled racist so they would sooner run away from the debate leaving an open goal for the extremes. And, as I pointed out in the earlier post, that is why we now have Trump and Brexit. | |||

I would have thought (hoped) that Brexit, Trump, Sweden Etc. would have made the mainstream (both politicians and media) take a long hard look in the mirror and ask, as I did above, how the hell did we get here? Then let's have a sensible debate on the whole subject of immigration starting with a clean piece of paper. Unless that happens it will only get worse with two polarised sides and chaos in the middle. The sensible debate is that immigration is a positive force in our economy, more workers, more taxes and more customers. This has been proven again and again and again. The irrational debate about foreigners is "I wouldn't want to live next to Romanians", or "sharia law is coming, run for the hills!", or "they get council houses and benefits from day 1" So which one do you want to have? A sensible debate or an irrational debate? Debating anything with you is akin to wading through treacle but I'll have a go. You say that immigration is a positive force for the economy. I will concede that purely from a growth point of view that is true. The economic activity of every person does effect growth, so more people equals more growth (where do you think Blair's came from?) However the effects on the individual can be completely the opposite. If the population increases in percentage terms by more than the overall growth, then the growth per household actually contract. It's a variation on the old saying that 50% of something is better than 100% of nothing. I notice again that you like to throw the old xenophobe and race slurs around and while I am concerned about the rise of Sharia in the west and the behaviour of some (but not all) eastern Europeans, among others, there are, as you know, many more facets to the debate. Despite increased funding (no matter what Corbyn likes to say) the NHS is creaking under the strain and in some areas is close to collapse. The whole infrastructure is being strained and adding another 300,000 or so per year to the population does not do anything to relieve the situation. It only adds to it. But they work and pay taxes you could say. In some cases you would be correct. I'm sure there are many from the EU and elsewhere who have good jobs and pay enough tax and NI to cover themselves. However a sizeable chunk, if not a majority, of the immigrants in the last few years do not. Anyone working on minimum wage, or these days quite a lot for less, either don't pay tax at all or pay such a small amount that it would never cover what they take from the system. Many are so poorly paid that they even qualify for in work benefits. Where is the positive force there? And whether you like it or not, there are still a large number who are just benefit tourists, or worse. I don't think anyone on here (least of all me) is advocating the "bolt the door" solution. I accept that some immigration is for the good of all. However I will never support and open door and all welcome no matter what policy. That is the road to ruin as Sweden is slowly and sadly waking up to. People talk of Sweden based on what they pursue to watch/read in YouTube/tabloids/tv... If I choose to read or watch anything is on the media about serious long term racist problems in Sachsen anhalt for instance, then I will have a narrow minded vision of Germany and think all Germans are racist. I believe the same apply to many here who give credit to trump and garage (I wrote farage but dictionary corrected to garage, interesting) on what they saw on foxtv about problems in a malmoe barrio where there is high migration percentage. Concluding that migration is bad based on that only, not only shows you are narrow minded but proves you are deep down racist. Notice: Calling malmoe the rape capitol of europe when Brighton has worrying numbers of rape cases since year 2000 shows how worried (f)garage is with rape problems in his own nation... If racism was considered a disease, many in this forum would be quarantined. And that comment illustrates exactly why there will be no serious debate on immigration. Opening hand, race card played. Firstly I haven't actually seen any youtube videos about Sweden, I've heard about a few though. Secondly I don't live in Sachsen Anhalt. I don't think immigration is bad, just needs to be controlled, read my post properly. In fact, did you read it at all? I didn't even mention Malmo so why accuse me of basing my comments on it? I only mentioned Sweden at all in the last sentence and I base most of that on what our Swedish neighbours in Spain tell us. A university lecturer (hardly the image of a far right knuckle dragger) who has moved his young family to Spain and commutes from there to work in Sweden. Why? Because his wife and kids no longer fell safe there. In the last year the Swedish residents (not visitors) on our urbanisation has more than doubled and they all tell the same story. Sweden is no longer safe. So you read or watch whatever you like, and you are free to believe whatever you want to. However, I trust my neighbours. I will look up the youtube vid though, just to see what it is all about. I rest my case." What case? You have no case. Just chucking the race card on the table and saying that's it, isn't a case. | |||

Mainstream politicians have always had this "we know best" attitude and along with the, mostly, liberal media have done everything they can to shut down any debate. Well now it has well and truly bitten them on the arse. However they never learn. We are still hearing the same old rhetoric. Racist, Nazi, Etc Etc. is pretty much all that they can come up with.

The rise of the far right is not however a fiction by the Guardian to sell copy and whilst there are radical extremists in society who want to do us harm it's not as the Mail, Express and others would portray the whole of one religious group whom are of that mindset.. Trying to present an objective view is labelled liberal wishy washy do goodie.. I don't know anyone on the left who supports open door immigration and it's not something on here expressed by many again on the left.. We need immigrants with skills who will contribute and for me they will always be welcome but we also need to accept that some of our own need to get off their arses and also contribute too.. People need to be objective but some have an agenda and that in this age of new speak and false news will only serve to widen any division.. I think views will become more entrenched and if brexit and trump are not a success for the core vote of that, some who want an instant answer to what there lot is and has become of late then it will only be exploited by some to cause further division.. I would agree with most of that. Of course there has been a rise in support for the "far" right and papers like the Guardian are fully entitled to report it. Where I disagree is where the line for "far" is drawn. In Germany for example I would call the NPD far right, but not AFD. In Britain I would call the BNP, Britain First and a few others far right, but not UKIP. As there is a moderate left there is also a moderate right and no debate on this subject will go anywhere until both sides accept it. Agree with that.. It's for the middle ground of either left or right to have more influence and not let the extremes set and guide any agenda.. Exactly but that is the whole problem. They won't. The post above illustrates it perfectly. The centre are scared shitless of being labelled racist so they would sooner run away from the debate leaving an open goal for the extremes. And, as I pointed out in the earlier post, that is why we now have Trump and Brexit." I see very little middle left in politics. The tories have moved further to the right trying to be ukip light. The left have moved further left in politics with corbyn.The divisiveness has made the middle pick a side .Same in the USA.This isn't going to change soon.The policies of trump and brexit will only fan the flames. Hate racism and xenophobia have always been with us.It took farage and trump and others to bring it to the surface.Until the colour a mans skin has no more significance than the colour of his eyes there will always be war and thats not going to happen anytime soon. | |||

Wow I started a long discussion. But back to the point. Yes, they see immigrants coming in taking their opportunity. They don't see the effort those immigrants for work. For example, I need to earn above a certain amount, need to be educated to masters level and in an area they have a lack of. But in the UK I studied many years, worked in the industry for 8 years, got promotions. But to a local I just came in and took their job. It's perception. For other immigrants it's different. But they interviewed some Wilders supporter who's never seen a foreigner. They lived in a Dutch town. They just believe what he's saying. | |||

"It's funny (nay scary really) that the left, including mainstream media, are very quick to jump on the bandwagon and start chucking labels at anyone or organisation or political party that doesn't fit into their agenda. Far Right, Alt Right, Fascist, Nazi, have all been chucked around at anything and everything. Trump, Brexit, UKIP, Marine le Penn, Wilders, AFD, criticism of Sweden, I could go on. The point they all miss (well with one or two rare exceptions) is why and how we got here. Whether we like it or not, immigration is the issue and has been for decades. Over the years many have tried to open a sensible debate on the subject only to be constantly shouted down as racist every time that they did. Mainstream politicians have always had this "we know best" attitude and along with the, mostly, liberal media have done everything they can to shut down any debate. Well now it has well and truly bitten them on the arse. However they never learn. We are still hearing the same old rhetoric. Racist, Nazi, Etc Etc. is pretty much all that they can come up with. I'm fully aware that quite a few on here support uncontrolled immigration but the vast majority of the public at large do not. Their stance may vary from "some controls" to "bolt the door" but it is only a very small (although loud) minority who support the open door. I would have thought (hoped) that Brexit, Trump, Sweden Etc. would have made the mainstream (both politicians and media) take a long hard look in the mirror and ask, as I did above, how the hell did we get here? Then let's have a sensible debate on the whole subject of immigration starting with a clean piece of paper. Unless that happens it will only get worse with two polarised sides and chaos in the middle. The sensible debate is that immigration is a positive force in our economy, more workers, more taxes and more customers. This has been proven again and again and again. The irrational debate about foreigners is "I wouldn't want to live next to Romanians", or "sharia law is coming, run for the hills!", or "they get council houses and benefits from day 1" So which one do you want to have? A sensible debate or an irrational debate? Debating anything with you is akin to wading through treacle but I'll have a go. You say that immigration is a positive force for the economy. I will concede that purely from a growth point of view that is true. The economic activity of every person does effect growth, so more people equals more growth (where do you think Blair's came from?) However the effects on the individual can be completely the opposite. If the population increases in percentage terms by more than the overall growth, then the growth per household actually contract. It's a variation on the old saying that 50% of something is better than 100% of nothing. I notice again that you like to throw the old xenophobe and race slurs around and while I am concerned about the rise of Sharia in the west and the behaviour of some (but not all) eastern Europeans, among others, there are, as you know, many more facets to the debate. Despite increased funding (no matter what Corbyn likes to say) the NHS is creaking under the strain and in some areas is close to collapse. The whole infrastructure is being strained and adding another 300,000 or so per year to the population does not do anything to relieve the situation. It only adds to it. But they work and pay taxes you could say. In some cases you would be correct. I'm sure there are many from the EU and elsewhere who have good jobs and pay enough tax and NI to cover themselves. However a sizeable chunk, if not a majority, of the immigrants in the last few years do not. Anyone working on minimum wage, or these days quite a lot for less, either don't pay tax at all or pay such a small amount that it would never cover what they take from the system. Many are so poorly paid that they even qualify for in work benefits. Where is the positive force there? And whether you like it or not, there are still a large number who are just benefit tourists, or worse. I don't think anyone on here (least of all me) is advocating the "bolt the door" solution. I accept that some immigration is for the good of all. However I will never support and open door and all welcome no matter what policy. That is the road to ruin as Sweden is slowly and sadly waking up to. People talk of Sweden based on what they pursue to watch/read in YouTube/tabloids/tv... If I choose to read or watch anything is on the media about serious long term racist problems in Sachsen anhalt for instance, then I will have a narrow minded vision of Germany and think all Germans are racist. I believe the same apply to many here who give credit to trump and garage (I wrote farage but dictionary corrected to garage, interesting) on what they saw on foxtv about problems in a malmoe barrio where there is high migration percentage. Concluding that migration is bad based on that only, not only shows you are narrow minded but proves you are deep down racist. Notice: Calling malmoe the rape capitol of europe when Brighton has worrying numbers of rape cases since year 2000 shows how worried (f)garage is with rape problems in his own nation... If racism was considered a disease, many in this forum would be quarantined. And that comment illustrates exactly why there will be no serious debate on immigration. Opening hand, race card played. Firstly I haven't actually seen any youtube videos about Sweden, I've heard about a few though. Secondly I don't live in Sachsen Anhalt. I don't think immigration is bad, just needs to be controlled, read my post properly. In fact, did you read it at all? I didn't even mention Malmo so why accuse me of basing my comments on it? I only mentioned Sweden at all in the last sentence and I base most of that on what our Swedish neighbours in Spain tell us. A university lecturer (hardly the image of a far right knuckle dragger) who has moved his young family to Spain and commutes from there to work in Sweden. Why? Because his wife and kids no longer fell safe there. In the last year the Swedish residents (not visitors) on our urbanisation has more than doubled and they all tell the same story. Sweden is no longer safe. So you read or watch whatever you like, and you are free to believe whatever you want to. However, I trust my neighbours. I will look up the youtube vid though, just to see what it is all about. I rest my case. What case? You have no case. Just chucking the race card on the table and saying that's it, isn't a case. Lecturing in Sweden? Hope you're not lecturing my son: He loves to have misinformed lecturers for breakfast/dinner/lunch. I'm not a lecturer in Sweden. Do you ever actually read posts before you answer them?" Relieves me to know you're not a lecturer in Sweden: I felt hopeless thinking you were one, which is what I understood from how you write... Have you thought of improving your written grammar? You're are too old for that. | |||

Maybe your Swedish neighbors in Spain should have been more proactive towards integration rather than moving out: Following that logic, I see then moving out of Spain too to America. I understand your neighbors are maybe not too old (I though I wrote "not too old" in my previous post) but narrow minded. I somehow live in Sweden (my son studies there) and find it progressive and very very very safe, in fact I get my hair cutted in the so called "no go" zones, where I can also get the most delicious kebaps. | |||
