How the far-right are trying to deter refugees from entering Sweden

Flier in Lesbos refugee camp filled with lies about Sweden/refugee situation. No comment from supposed signers. -SN pic.twitter.com/y4HnDeDerE — b9AcE (@b9AcE) November 7, 2015 A controversial flyer warning refugees against coming to Sweden is the work of the Sweden Democrats (SD). On Monday, the far-right party’s communication manager confirmed that party members are distributing these flyers in seventeen cities on Europe’s border. Under the headline of “No money, no jobs, no homes” the flyer argues that mass immigration made Sweden a hotbed for violent crime. It claims that Sweden ‘demonstrates the second highest number of rape reports in the entire world’. Others made a similar argument on the Gatestone Institute website in February 2015. But both miss the point. Rising crime figures do not suggest an epidemic, rather a shift in public attitudes, and policing methods.

In 2013, legislative amendments broadened the definition of rape to included victims deemed passive. The ease of alcohol and internet access are other societal factors police use to explain the rising incident levels. Comparing rape statistics [...]

An Affront to Modern Britain. This is the Racism That Some Suffer Today

This is the photo that was sent into us today. The family in Rotherham woke up to this on their gate and they have suffered years of racism and hatred. Who would think that in 2015 such graffiti would be posted on the property of an Asian family? Yet these issues are sadly not one-offs
