“Illegal overstayer who requires 24/7 care costing thousands of £ each week at taxpayer expense to be deported”.
Equivalent Daily Mail headline if this was about the same thing happening here.
That aside, things like this are the harsh reality of brexit. Why would we expect Sweden to keep looking after him if we wouldn’t do the same?
If something happens to me, I’d expect the country i fuelled my tax money into to look after me.
You don’t just get to decide I’m worthless once i stop contributing if i spent decades being here.
There needs to be automatic “nationalisation” of sorts… and not behind a paywall. Citizenship in uk is £1400-1600 per person. That’s a lot for a family to pay, child could be born here and never leave UK for 15 years, they still got to pay it.
Swede here, alot of our empathic and socialist values have gone downhill for many years but especially the last few years have seen a big rise to the right wing extremist party. I think most people here will find this cruel. “This is not the people we wanted to throw out! It was only The muslims, arabs, jews, colored people, unemployed…” etc etc etc.
Some of the new laws that has been passed with the right wing partiets have been incredibly stupid and enabled shit like this. My favorite is that its now illegal to insult law enforcement. There’s this old rhyme we taught kids “polis polis potatisgris” (“police police potato-pig”) which with current jurisdiction would be illegal.
So yeah, Sweden is doing great and is absolutely not turning in to yet another unempathic capitalistic americanized shithole. People keep buying the lies and turn against the less fortunate of society instead of actually seeing the problem.
posts about the problems of xenophobia
still blames a foreign country
No other country was blamed for it in the post above.
“Americanized” = from American influence
Has brain, still not using it
