"So now you know our little secret why we give Nobel prizes to
murderers, slavers and terrorists like Arafat.
It is a quid pro quo. They give us slaves."

I got an idea. Let's do the friendly thing and deport some of our illegal aliens to the Swedes. That way they wont be deprived. We got twelve million of them, so I'm sure we can spare some.

“Swedish Police have been receiving complaints since the beginning of the 1990s about the poor workmanship of English-speaking paving companies.”

- Sometimes I’m not proud of being Swedish. Furthermore, if the police have investigated this case since the early 1990’s, valuable resources have been used for no good.

There’s lot of things to be said and many questions to be asked concerning this sad story.

How does Britain treat its weakest of citizens?

Why has these kids not received proper education?

If these kids get off the streets and get a chance of doing a good day’s work, that’s great. However, they should, of course, get a decent wage, decent lodging and work no more than other British or Swedish construction workers.

- If they don’t want to work in your country, they probably aren’t willing to work in my country neither.

The best thing would be if some honest employer could provide these kids with work. Apparently, there are a lot of Swedish house owners who’re prepared to pay for the services.

There is a big difference between investigating and making arrests.

To make an arrest, there must be a suspect who can be found.

In east Tennessee and surrounding states the current version of the Swedeish story involves driveway sealing. After being paid more than originally requested, they move on. There is no slavery involved however.

Comment: These are probably "Irish Travelers"; nomadic groups that are also in the USA. They are con artists, not paving companies. Sometimes I’m not proud of being Swedish. Comment: You need to work on that! How does Britain treat its weakest of citizens? Answer: Britain has no weakest citizens since they imported socialism from Sweden and other EU nations. Why has these kids not received proper education? Edited: Why did these young men not take advantage of the superior education opportunities available in the UK?

- Probably not, I’ve never heard this word before. Where is it from?

“Why did these young men not take advantage of the superior education opportunities available in the UK?”

- I know of these opportunities, I went to school for one year in the UK from the age of 9 to 10 (today I’m 37). It’s probably even better today.

Still, I wonder how it is possible in a rich, well ordered society like the UK of today for a child to grow up without ever receiving proper education. We have problems in some parts of Sweden too (especially in Malmö and Stockholm from what I’ve understood), but it’s nowhere near what seems to be the case regarding these British kids.

I don’t wish to mock the UK or anything, I just think the whole thing is a tragedy and I have difficulties understanding how British authorities (as well as Swedish police) work in cases like these.

They sound like "Irish Travelers", Hibernian gangs in the U.S., Ireland and Britian that pull the same scam.

Few native Swedes speak arabic, but I often hear it in the streets here in Sweden for some strange reason...

I was thinking you might have come across the Swedish word “åbo” (which also happens to be the Swedish name for a city in Finland, there’s no connection though).

“Åbo” is an old legal term which meant a person had the right to use a piece of land which he did not own. During the 18th and 19th century, Swedish soldiers often received a piece of land, that was owned by the state, although the soldier cultivated it. However, this has little to do with slavery of course.
