They do indeed and we can all see how that’s panning out as we speak…
Is it now the highest rapes per capita in the world behind South Africa or something? Not quite sure but something alarming like that.

Anyone else get the feeling things unfolded the way BJ wanted last night?
He's putting 0 effort into getting a deal. His Brexit team is something like half the size May's was. JRM spent all of the debate last night trying to goad someone into a VoNC.
I expect the strategy is:
- Show BXP voters he's doing everything he can do ensure No Deal so they sympathise with his position
- Push opposers of No Deal to the brink so they vote for a FTA GE or VoNC
- We go to a GE and BXP voters either believe BJ's No Deal dreams and vote Con or BXP secures a decent number of seats and form coalition with Cons

Discotits you do realise that Scandinavian countries arent really socialist in the way you would like them to be seen. The means of production are not owned by the government but by private individuals and resources aren’t allocated by governments either.
The only thing they may have in common with your ideals is a generous social safety net and universal healthcare but this is also impacted by the fact that these countries are very small in population and very stringent upon who they let in, not to mention the very high rates of tax.
In fact the Danish Prime Minister once said at a Harvard speech:
“I know that some people in the US associate the Nordic model with some sort of socialism. Therefore I would like to make one thing clear. Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy.”

My wife is danish and I’ve spent quite a bit of time in Denmark and Sweden so I’ve seen this firsthand.
Edit: and I was talking to Fig but it was a little harsh so I apologise.

That’s not true about Sweden … don’t they let in the most amount of immigrants per capita in the world ?

Non-MSM and not Guardian. Pro-Science though, which some may not like.
