...they are a´changing skulle jag kanske ha fortsatt med, men jag tar lite av en risk att i stället klistra in en artikel från den engelska tidningen som jag snott från en annan sida från en som i sin tur snott den från tidningen.

Men artikeln är så tung att jag måste. På engelska förstås men så är det, i svenska tidningar skrivs inte sånt här, hur skulle det se ut?

”Teens roam streets with rifles as crime swamps Sweden”
The army may be called in to halt a gang surge in immigrant areas
Bojan Pancevski, Malmo
January 21 2018, 12:01am,
The Sunday Times
Police officer Ted Eriksson is treated in Stockholm last summer after he was stabbed in the neck by an asylum seeker
The blast was so powerful that it shook windows a mile away. Ahmad’s first thought was that someone had thrown yet another bomb at the police.
He was right. On Wednesday night an explosive device was hurled at the police station in Rosengard, a troubled area of Malmo, Sweden’s third largest city.
Attacks on the police are increasingly frequent. Rosengard’s force works from a black fortress of reinforced concrete with narrow windows and a 10ft-high electric fence.
“I knew it was a bomb again,” said Ahmad, 53, who lives in the area with his wife and their four teenage children.
Sweden is among the world’s safest, richest and best-run countries enjoying steady growth and rising employment. But it has been experiencing an unprecedented surge of gang shootings, bombings and sexual assaults.
Rosengard police station was attacked
In a country of 10m people, more than 320 shootings and dozens of bombings were reported in 2017, along with more than 110 murders and 7,226 rapes — a 10% increase on 2016. More than 36% of young Swedish women say they feel unsafe at night.
The authorities have admitted they are unable to investigate rape cases immediately because the resources are focused on gang crime. “We are forced to choose between two evils,” the police said.
The crime surge is mainly confined to so-called “areas of social exclusion”, a code for neighbourhoods such as Rosengard that are predominantly populated by immigrants. They are not classic ghettos — the infrastructure and services are better than in areas of central London — but these communities are plagued by high crime rates and unemployment.
In Malmo, where a fifth of the 340,000 inhabitants are under 18, children as young as 14 roam the streets with Kalashnikov assault rifles and bulletproof vests. The average age of gang members is 22, the vast majority of them hailing from migrant families.
Sweden has pursued a liberal immigration policy for more than a generation; its government speaks of being a “humanitarian superpower” for having taken in a large number of asylum seekers. After the migrant crisis of 2015, when more than 160,000 people sought asylum, the policy was abruptly changed. Yet there is little debate or reliable data about the integration of the 12% of the population that derive from non-western countries.
For a long time the Swedish establishment played down the decay of immigrant-dominated suburbs, but it can no longer ignore the explosion of violence.
Stefan Lofven, the Social Democrat prime minister, said last week that he was ready to deploy the military to “stamp out” organised crime. The next day another bomb went off in Malmo, this time in front of a private property.
“We have really reached the bottom: people use machineguns and hand grenades — they want to kill,” said Zoran Markovic, the former chief of community policing in Rosengard.
Markovic, a decorated officer, is the Swedish-born son of immigrants from Serbia. Rosengard’s new fortified police station was built after his locker room in the old building was peppered with bullets in a drive-by shooting.
The situation has drastically worsened in the past two years. Markovic said the police are overstretched. Rosengard’s main school, which had pupils from nearly 200 different ethnic backgrounds, was closed because of social tension.
Barely three miles away, in Malmo’s centre, there is little sign of the crime epidemic. The old Hanseatic port is a vibrant area of medieval cobblestoned squares and contemporary architecture.
This is replicated across the country. Alongside the pockets of violence, Sweden continues to flourish, with low crime rates and a booming economy. Its citizens read about gangland wars with disbelief, although crime is increasingly spilling into middle-class areas.
Ted Eriksson, 34, was inspired to become a police officer after a stint as an assistant to Kenneth Branagh, the British actor, during the filming of the Wallander crime series.
Last August Eriksson was on duty at a pro-refugee rally in Stockholm when he was stabbed by an Afghan asylum seeker. He survived with minor injuries. The assailant claimed to be 17 but was suspected of being in his late twenties. He said he wanted to kill a policeman.
Rinkeby, a 20-minute metro ride from Stockholm’s old centre, is one of Sweden’s most crime-ridden areas. Paramedics and firefighters demand a police escort to go there. After nightfall, gangs of young men dominate the streets, offering drugs at the entrance to the station. A 25-year-old man was shot dead in a pizzeria this month.
When I visited Rinkeby last week a group of youths in shell suits aggressively asked why I was in their neighbourhood. Their tone turned more respectful when they found out that I am from the Balkans — the homeland of many local criminal kingpins. Born and raised in Rinkeby, they declared themselves not Swedish but Somali, Afghan or Lebanese.
Hanif Azizi, who came to Sweden from Iran as an unaccompanied refugee at the age of nine nearly 30 years ago, is a senior policeman in Rinkeby. “Hating police is part of some of these kids’ cultures. If as a society we have decided to take in refugees, we must set high standards: not ask what our society can do for them, but what they can do for our society,” he said.
Norway’s immigration minister, Sylvi Listhaug, visited Rinkeby last year to “learn” from the mistakes of “uncontrolled migration and poor integration”.
Stockholm’s mayor, Karin Wanngard, protested that Rinkeby was a “fine neighbourhood” and “teeming with vitality”.
A spate of shootings forced her to change her tune. The “growing brutality” among gangs has become “unprecedented” she said earlier this month.
It is taboo to make a link between immigrants and crime, according to Tino Sanandaji, a Swedish economist of Iranian-Kurdish origin who argues in Mass Challenge, his bestselling book, that the country has failed to integrate many newcomers: “Sweden was successful in abolishing the traditional class society, but politicians are now creating an ethnic underclass.”
Criticism of Sweden’s immigration policy has been the prerogative of the unsavoury far right for so long that Sanandaji’s book, soon to be published in English, was blacklisted by some public libraries, despite praise from experts.
“The attacks would have ended my career had I been a white ethnic Swede,” he said.
Paulina Neuding, an internationally acclaimed writer, was accused of xenophobia for linking the rise of anti-semitic and sexual crime to mass migration.
Neuding, 36, born to a Jewish family who migrated from Poland, said Sweden is experiencing a “sexual assault crisis”.
Statistics published last week revealed the percentage of women who reported being victims of sex crimes rose from 1.4% in 2012 to 4.1% in 2016. In 2014 a study on the geography of outdoor rape in Stockholm found two-thirds of the suspects were non-Swedish citizens.
“Our government declared itself the world’s first feminist government, yet they have quietly abandoned women,” Neuding said. “There is mounting evidence that large-scale migration of men from extremely patriarchal cultures is limiting women’s freedom.””

Sverige-bilden, Håkan, Sverige-bilden. Du borde tänka på den.

Försöker att bidraga till att få fram fram den verkliga bilden som finns någonstans under alla lager av PK-fernissa, Tomas E, och jag tror att bilden redan börjar bli så synlig att årtionden av konservatorer börjar fly fältet.

Men visst förstår jag ironin, som den upa-värsting jag är...

Passa dig Dj-t noga, Håkan!
Förslag från den hysteriska rödgröna nomenklaturan till inskränkningar i yttrandefriheten finns genom att införa lagar mot förtal mot Sverige, som gör dina citeringar från The Times olagliga och straffbara.

Jag citerar från länken nedan:

“Utvidgningen innebär att röjanden som inte är tillräckligt allvarliga för att bestraffas enligt våra förslag till nya brott i 19 kap. BrB ändock kan träffas av straffansvar” innebär, i den kontext som utredaren presenterar, att det räcker med att Sveriges relationer med andra länder påverkas på något sätt. Även om uppgifterna isolerade i sig inte är hemliga utan även ett arbete med öppna källor som grund kan, om det presenteras, bli straffbart om sammanställningen kan bedömas som hemlig eller skada relationerna med främmande makt eller en grupp av länder eller intresseorganisationer. Det är allmänt känt att världens underrättelsetjänster arbetar kanske främst med öppna källor mer och mer. Öppna källor som blivit allt mer viktiga, och värdefulla, med internets framväxt."

Jag kan hoppas på att kunna bli båtflykting, Seawolf, om lagförslaget inte går igenom innan jag sjösatt...

Artikeln du länkar till läste jag då den kom, och jag nämnde den men utan länk i en tidigare tråd där jag kom i meningsutbyte med bland andra ole, alltid lika stimulerande med hans utmaningar för de små grå.
