Norway Minister Ridiculed After Floating in Mediterranean to See What it's Like to be a Refugee

Norway's minister of migration and integration has sparked outrage after floating in the Mediterranean Sea in an orange survival suit to experience being rescued from a refugee's "perspective."

Sylvi Listhaug, a Progress Party member known for her hard-line stance on immigration, travelled to the Greek island of Lesbos to familiarise herself with the rescue work carried out by Norwegian vessel Peter Henry von Koss.

..Sylvi Listhaug, a Progress Party member...

In my vast study of Norwegian party politics of about thirty seconds on Wikipedia, it looks like the Progress Party are the good guys.

Founded by Anders Lange in 1973 as an anti-tax protest movement, the party values individual freedom strongly, supports market liberalism, and advocates downsizing bureaucracy and the public sector, while also proposing increased spending of Norway's public Oil Fund to invest in infrastructure, rejecting the notion of the "budgetary rule".[5][21] The party also seek a more restrictive immigration policy and tougher integration and law and order measures. In foreign policy it is strongly Atlanticist, and pro-globalization.

(Remember, in much of the world "liberal" is still associated with its Latin root meaning freedom and not the American meaning of "not quite as socialist and authoritarian as the Soviet Union... yet.")

Norwegians gave Omoron a Nobel Piss Prize just for breathing. I don’t think we can expect too much from them.

Liberalism is a mental disorder - one that will get us all killed.

The Norwegians who fought the Nazi occupation of their country are all gone now.What’s there now is pajama boys and other various forms of idiot.

Again, my WWII Navy father was right - the only thing dumber than a dumb Swede is a smart Norwegian. The woman who went for a floating refugee experience is a traitor to her nation and is encouraging its eventual destruction.
In 1945, Norway knew how to deal with treason by putting Vidkun Quisling up against a wall and weighing him down with lead.

Your Post 22, and this quote from the article: "...Sylvi Listhaug, a Progress Party member known for her hard-line stance on immigration..."

confuse the heck out of me. So are we saying that this Nowegian Mediterranean floater wants to stop the wholesale immigration/invasion of the Islamic hordes?

If so, then why the floating exercise?

Airhead Alert!

[Talisker]

Is that... real?

[dfwgator]

Like Tom Petty said, “You don’t have to live like a refugee.”

She is the Immigration Minister and was touring the Norwegian rescue ship being used in the Mediterranean. The article stated: The minister said the Peter Henry von Koss' crew asked her if she wanted to see how they work and get pulled out of the sea and she "did it with joy".

If given that chance I would probably do it to.

And the Peter Henry von Koss is owned by the Norwegian Society for Sea Rescue (Norwegian: Redningsselskapet) which looks like a private charity if I have it figured out right.

Another article says that Three of the crewmembers are from the police, including the Force Commander, and three crewmembers are from The Norwegian Society for Sea Rescue. It mentioned that the ship was under contract, but didn't say who (Greece, Norway, ????) paid for it.

They wear form fitting pants and no veils - open season for rape by Muslims who see it as their right.

So this is what the Vikings are reduced to?

This is the face of stupidity.

Drown these rats.

Has she volunteered to experience gang rape by rapefugees yet?

Just wondering...
