If ever you wanted an example of the retarded definition

[Billy Goat Sverige]

of racism in Sweden, look no further than one of todays headlines.

"Rasism mot svenskar i London efter brexit" which translates to "Racism against swedes in London after brexit".

This because some woman claimed swedes have been told to "go home".

Oh, yes. The Guardian ran with that despite not being able to cite a single decent example of racism against Swedes. As you say, the best I could see was clearly some harmless workplace joke.

Racist against Swedes, ffs! The idea itself is fairly hilarious when you think about it.

Except the Guardian piece doesn't mention racism but xenophobia (if we are talking about the same article). There is a difference, b. Johnny Foreigner might not have the vocabulary to differentiate, but we do

Bear in mind that, to the Guardian, synonyms are commonplace in the English language.

Xenophobia = racism = fascism = Nazism = Farage

Polly Toynbee called May 'The true heir of Enoch Powell' I think she must be having one of her hot flushes.

I'm going to break the habit of a lifetime now and use a terrible about a woman, something I have never done before.

Polly Toynbee is the sourest old **** ever shat forth from a 'woman'.

There. I have that off my chest.

You're correct. However, I would argue that xenophobia towards a single race or people amounts to the same accusation.

And you must concede that they still couldn't come up with a single solid example to back up this rather insulting claim.

Yes - it is a piss poor effort as have been the other scare stories about people people being thrown out or not being able to claim a passport. Generally down to people jumping the gun and the Home Office/Passport office not having a clue what is going on
