Swedish Elections

[Ghandi's Flip Flops]

So - not unexpectedly - Sweden is not overrun by immigrant rape gangs operating in no-go areas causing the collapse of a liberal society. I don't expect the American pro-Trump press to report otherwise but the level of ignorance in our press and on here is highlighted.

Yeah but the left leaning media don't do people any favours by insisting everything is OK or the 'move along, there's nothing to see here' attitude.

From the articles it definately seems like refugee/immigrant situation could be causing problems. The crime rate (including murder & sexual crimes) is rising, and immigrants/refugees are over represented in those figures.

There could be a myriad of reasons why the above is happening, like lack of funding for sufficient infrastructure, support structures etc but until it's acknowledged there are problems, then it's unlikely that a workable solution can be found. And if issues aren't seen to be being addressed and people feel it's being brushed under the carpet, then tensions will keep rising and they will could start looking to alternative/more extreme political parties.

Bit like the UK then............maybe their Police have had to deal with cuts and maybe other socials spending cuts haven't helped. Also seemed not to be isolated to immigrants as the likes of Farage love to scream at us from the LBC studio's

Possibly, but when i first watched all the articles there was a link (to a newspaper article) in one of the comments section showing how these supposed stories of 'no go zones' came about.

Roughly translated, it explained that the police had put together a report which identified 55 areas of growing crime rates, that they were going to target with extra resources. The majority of the areas were the typical poorer areas, but by default they were also the areas that the recent refugees/immigrants were being housed. There wasn't anything particularly special about the article other than the headline which went something along the lines of 'Police draft in extra resources to tackle no go zones'.
From the headline many people reached the conclusion that even with extra police resources crime rates were rocketing in the refugee/ immigrant areas. This was compounded when it was shown murder rates for places like Malmo had risen from 1 or 2 a year to 11 or 12 a year, and the idea of no-go zones stuck.

and its that kind of fevered bullshit reporting that leads to comments like those from Trump et al in the states claiming London has no go areas and Birmingham is an Islamic dominated Sharia Law imposing city and so on - then the r/w media like info wars repeat it - Bannon feeds it to his latest lapdog who repeats it in a speech and hey presto its the truth - fucking pathetic really

Agree - but the problem i have is that i'm finding the supposed left leaning mainstream media just as polarised.
The same guy, Tim Pool, who did those Sweden vids/articles has also covered things like the Berkeley freedom of speech rallies etc, high-lighting how the mainstream media were ignoring the violence being perpertrated by groups like Antifa, and purely concentrating on that of the supposed alt-right/ neo-nazis etc.
Because of this he was labelled as alt-right, received threats and had his channel & social media accounts purposefully targetted with false flagging to get them suspended.
