  • I’m not big on victim blaming either, but I do think it’s weird to consider Sweden your primary home, and yet not apply for citizenship much earlier than that.

    Prior to the law change a couple months ago, he could have become a citizen after just 5 years (or 3 if cohabitation with a Swede). Both the UK and Sweden recognize double citizenship as well, so there’s really no reason not to…

    He has also missed out on all non-local elections his entire adult life, because non-citizens can only vote for local government, and now he’s paying the price. It’s very sad.


  • I mean, that’s probably part of the reason why Sweden is an outlier in the number of UK deportations. We got a right-wing government a couple years back, and they obviously want to please their constituents by saying “we deported this many criminals, remember to vote for us again!”

    Britons are an easy target to pump those numbers up. There is usually nothing that hinders deportation to the UK, unlike to other countries with more instability/wars/etc.



  • if the truck didn’t back all the way in, the smaller cars would have a problem getting out

    Then they shouldn’t be parked there from the start.

    If there’s no parking for full-size vehicles

    Then, again, they shouldn’t be parked there from the start. It’s not a difficult concept.

    No one has forced them to buy an oversized vehicle. And if the area is obviously not zoned to allow oversized vehicles, they shouldn’t even be driving it there.

    if it’s not in my way

    It is obviously in the way for all pedestrians, as there’s like less than a quarter meter free space behind the truck, and people need to be especially careful to not fuck up their legs on the hitch.

    You don’t need to be enraged by idiots, but you don’t need to defend their behavior.

    What case are you referring to? Most people who torch cars (NB: as vandalism, not insurance fraud) don’t get caught, and the few who have gotten convicted have had foreign background in the majority of cases. Young men from poor areas, often living in exclusion from the rest of society.

    It’s awful that racists abuse stuff that maladjusted people do, but I don’t really believe your story. I’m very active in these kinds of cases and haven’t heard about it, so please let me know more about these right-wingers that got caught burning cars in orten.
