Unlike previous years, there will be no Christmas lights in many Swedish towns this Christmas, reports SVT . Formally the new ban is because of "security reasons".
The Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket) will stop allowing municipalities to put up their Christmas lights on light poles that the authority manages, and in many small towns, it means that the central streets actually do not get any Christmas lights at all.
The change is a victory for those who want to tone down the reminder of the country's Christian traditions, but according to the Swedish Transport Administration, the decision for the drastic change is "security".
- Poles are not designed for the weight of Christmas lights, and we have to remove anything that should not be there. We guarantee safety first, says Eilin Isaksson, national coordinator at the Swedish Transport Administration, to SVT.
How many poles that have fallen down in previous years because of the Christmas lights is not clear. It is clear, however, that municipalities have difficulty understanding the Swedish Transport Administration's priorities.
- In our municipality we have problems with wildlife and fences, that people are dying because of animals running on the roads. We think this is a more important issue for the Swedish Transport Administration to handle than to turn off our Christmas lights, says mayor in Lititz, Marie Johansson, to SVT.
Since they choose not to celebrate Christmas officially, GET RID OF THE HOLIDAYS, TOO! See how well THAT goes over with the civil servants and workers in the ‘people’s paradise’ of Sweden, when they have to work Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Second Day of Christmas!
Between the National Socialists and the International Socialists, well over a 100 million innocent souls were murdered from 1917 on.
It’s the only thing they’re good at - killing.
But hey... they’re different. The National Socialists had better boots... and more style...
Let’s also not forget EPIPHANY, which is a public holiday in Sweden!
Swedes have always had problems with Poles.

Complete and absolute cultural suicide.
No problem. Thier new Muslim overlords will replace the Xmas lights with Swedes. Problem solved. Enjoy your new country folks.
And yet all these little villages are voting for euthanasia and abortion and don’t understand why they can’t have their silly lights at Christmas. They are no longer Christians!!!! They have gone over to satan.
Stalin & Hillary would be friends. Hillary is Stalin without the death toll or time in office.
Same tailor and wardrobe, though...
All that’s missing on Cankles is the chest full of self-appointed medals for bravery, courage, heroic deeds, greatest vegatable garden, etc.,,
And the mustache... but that’s coming. You can see it quivering there, waiting to sprout.
LOL!
This is the Swedish sickness. A culture decides to die and lets outside forces slowly destroy it. Sweden is gone, and I have no pity for people who allow themselves to gradually succumb to ignorance, stupidity, and savagery.
Tell me I’m wrong, brother...
You know I’m not... :^)
It is very sad to see losers winning!!
Pussies.
I feel absolute grief & sadness that their beautiful way of life is quickly disappearing. Shame on every politician who did this.
Now legal to fly ISIS flag in Sweden while banning their own flag. Seriously. Im not kidding:
Hope and change is happening, obama style

Hang Isaksson from a lamppost to see if the pole falls down. If it doesn’t, put up the Christmas lights, and leave Herr Isaksson hanging to enjoy the decorations.
