There's that smug position of authority I mentioned the other day...(which you and woolley seem to rely on a lot for putting me down). May would never win the PM slot before Brexit (remember she wanted to ban porn until it turned out her husband was charging hotel porn movies to her MP account). And she is only "popular" (and even then with a certain demographic) because she is over playing the "Brexit is Brexit" line. As soon as Cameron gave his intent to stand down, there should have been a general election.

You mean like PM Theresa May, sorry, the unelected PM Theresa May. That's so stupid it doesn't even warrant a reply. Unworthy of you. You moan about unelected officials, yet we are at the whims of one. You cant have it both ways.

Bloody economic migrants...

Rampant xenophobia?

No evidence for that whatsoever. Conjecture. Kind of like the "benefits" of Brexit you mean?

"The most recent Eurostat data for the 28 EU countries also puts Sweden in the top spot." But the agency warns that comparisons between different countries should be avoided because of differences between their legal and criminal justice systems, recording practices, reporting rates, efficiencies of criminal justice organisations and types of offences included in the categories. It helps if you can read in the first place, and second if you quote within context.

Anyway, enough of the misdirection... Trump and his media ban on the outlets he regards as "fake news", but still lets Brietbart a seat at the picnic? Hey wait....doesn't Bannon have a connection to Breitbart?

No, not really. It was Trump that made the comment about Sweden. They are laughing their socks off about it but don't realise their feet are on fire. Sigh, he made a spurious comment based off his idiot understanding of an idiot report on Fox "News". People like yourself and the troll immediately found the first confirmation bias post relating to the comment you could find, and now you're patting yourselves and Trump on the back. Regardless of the simple fact that you and he are wrong, and have been shown to be wrong. The only thing on fire here is yours and Trump's pants.

But you are avoiding the point of the thread...Donald Trump.

reductio ad absurdum. Very lazy. What's lazy? That's what you're saying and you aren't going to change your mind anytime soon. There just isn't a problem. Carry on. Bring in a few more hundreds of thousands. Bask in the glory of diversity. You are putting words into my mouth, in an effort to undermine my posts. Expect that from the resident troll but not from you (well I kind of do expect it from you, but at least you try a little harder). I am not saying that rape does not exist in Sweden. I am saying that there is no evidence to support the claims that Sweden is the rape capital of Europe or that there is any evidence linking this fake "title" and immigration.

http://www.thelocal.se/20170221/why-sweden-is-not-the-rape-capital-of-the-world A frequently cited source when comparing Swedish rape statistics internationally is the regularly published report by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). In 2012, according to the report by UNODC, Sweden was quoted as having 66.5 cases of reported rapes per 100,000 population. The UNODC itself discourages any cross-national comparisons based on their reports, because of the differences that exist between legal definitions, methods of offense counting and crime reporting. A crime survey funded by the UN and published in The Lancet Global Health concluded that almost a quarter of all men admit to rape in parts of Asia.[40][41] Some of the countries with the highest percentage of men admitting rape in that study, China and Bangladesh for instance, are also not listed or have relatively low numbers of reported rape in the UNODC report. Facts are so scary aren't they...

reductio ad absurdum. Very lazy.

Statement of one policeman. That's like me finding a active member of UKIP (which is basically the Tory party in all but name), letting him rant on about immigrants for five minutes and stating that "that's proof right there". I have just shown using reasoned and balance quotes why the situation in Sweden is being exaggerated and twisted to suit a certain narrative. You seem to think my balance approach to this "situation" is me ignoring something, where as I see it as you focusing on one small element and missing the larger events happening around you. For example, Trump is so focused on so called "Islamic Terrorism", he has failed to mention the several white Americans who have been caught attempting to carry out multiple domestic terrorist attacks on US soil against US citizens. This forum is so focused on the fake Sweden story that no-one has mentioned the terrorist bombing in Londonderry.

"Malmo, along with other urban centres in Sweden, has one of the highest levels of reported rapes in proportion to population in the EU, mainly due to the strictness of Swedish laws and how rape is recorded in the country. The rate of reported rapes in Malmo has not dramatically risen in recent years and has in fact declined from its peak in 2010, before the recent large increases in refugees. It is not possible to connect crimes to the ethnicity of the perpetrators as such data is not published." - BBC "It is true that Sweden has the highest reported rate of rape. The key word is "reported". Sweden reports more rapes than other countries (for good reasonms) - that is very different from claiming it has more rapes than other countries. In 2012, Sweden had 66 cases of reported rapes per 100,000 population, according to the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention(Brå).[234] This was unequivocally the biggest number reported to the UNODC in 2012 Rape is an unusual crime in that it is only reported by the victim and sadly often they will not report it. In too many countries it is a mark of shame; the attitude is "she was asking for it". So victims do not report, or police do not record. There are three factors: 1) Swedish people (women primarily but not exclusive) are more willing to report rape. That is a factor of more equality, and that sex is not seen as shameful. there is a strong correlation between higher levels of gender equality and disclosure of sexual violence.[251] This, and a greater willingness among Swedish women to report rape in relationships,[252] may also explain the relatively high rates of reported rape in Sweden 2) Swedish police take it more seriously. In many countries the police will not progress an investigation. "It was her own fault", "that isn't really rape" 3) Swedish law is very strict. "rape" includes a range of acts that would not be considered rape in other countries. Their definition of "consent" is strict. An example of this is the Julian Assange case; in Sweden he was charged with sexual assault for things that many of his supporters claim were completely legal & legitimate. But not they were not in Sweden. The Swedish police record each instance of sexual violence in every case separately, leading to an inflated number of cases compared to other countries.[236][239][243] Sweden also has a comparatively wide definition of rape.[236][237][238] This means that more sexual crimes are registered as rape than in most other countries.[237] For example, in 2005 Sweden reformed its sex crime legislation and made the legal definition of rape much wider,[236][244][245][246] which led to a marked increase in reports.[247][248] I do not know if anyone has tried to "normalise" statistics to calibrate thoe effects. But if so, I'd be willing to bet that many of those countries under-report compared to Sweden and that the actial rate would be vastly higher in other countries (eg Jamaica, Bolivia) Wikipedia has a long discussion of rape statistics variation by country: Rape statistics << Quotes from this And Sweden in particular Rape in Sweden" - Quora In short, the title of "rape capital of Europe" is just another spurious false hood used by the rabble right to demonise a certain demographic.

In relevance to Trump's comments on it or just in general? Do I need to comment on the fact that the only reason Trump made a comment about a terror attack that never happened, is because he "watched" a report on Fox "News"? That Fox used a fake "expert" to further push a fake story? I can't comment on Sweden, having never been there or really read up about it. But I can comment on Trump getting his intelligence briefs from "iffy" news reporting and opinion pieces

You are hilarious bringing Hitler into this. There is absolutely no parallel. And why should we not focus on Sweden? The canary in the European coal mine. Lügenpresse - History is repeating itself. The parallel is there, you just choose to ignore it, because it doesn't fit your narrative. And as usual you're apologist stance when it comes to the right wing (or alt-right) is as predictable as ever.

Farage wasn't "having" dinner with Trump. He spotted them having dinner and attached himself. As for Woody2, his brand of trolling is so easy to spot. If we all stop responding to him he will get bored.

So you're focussing on Sweden, and not talking about the fact he is basically blocking any news outlet he doesn't like from White House briefings (however Briebart - remember who is linked to that....are still involved). Now what was that word that Hitler used for doing that....

You know the democrats and republicans basically switched philosophy some time ago?

When was the vote for that? oh... they only asked 10,000...well that's telling. And while they state the age, gender, education and geographical location, they don't state the break down of ethnicity of the respondants. Even looking at the figures, its not hard to work out the demographic this "survey" was presented to: older, white, males of a certain polictical persuasion. Bias is blindingly obvious here I am afraid. C- for effort. Must try harder.

Well as soon as some concrete positives come out if... Typical razor sharp intellect as usual... Sharp as a beach ball and twice as circular... Oh look the other snake oil salesman has woken up...

Duck, duck, duck. You and Wolley are selling the same snake oil.

"May" implode... Until it does its another "Leaver" - Lets wait and see job.

Leaver - "We want to take back our laws and control our country" The Court of the Land - "Leaving might not be legal and needs looking in to" Leaver - ".............Unjust laws...who are these Judges to tell us what is what......immigrants!!!!"
