On the back of Swedish Lapland town Glommersträsk offering to pay people up to €900 to move there to help save its primary school from closure, the Swedish Migration Minister has announced grants of up to $34,000 for migrants to leave Sweden.
Not surprising given the largely negative impact migration has had on humanitarian Sweden and its culture with gun crime, murders and rapes on the rise. Wallander would have a field day. If he survived.
According to Statista:
A report published by the Swedish national council for crime prevention in 2021 found that Sweden was the only European country in which the number of fatal shootings per 100,000 inhabitant increased since 2000.
A Sky News report, Bombs and Bullets: Sweden's Deadly Gang War tells us:
Last year, 363 recorded shootings led to 53 deaths across Sweden, according to police.
In 2022, the gun murder rate in Stockholm was roughly 25 times higher than in London.
In 2022, almost half the suspects in gun-related murders were aged between 15 and 20.
Denmark also pays migrants to leave whereas Hungary aims to bus them to Brussels on big yellow coaches.
A one-way bus ticket is a lot cheaper than $34,000 but given the checks now being implemented on the German borders the buses would almost certainly be turned back.
There are undoubtedly good, deserving and hard-working people among the migrants but is diversity worth the kind of gang violence that is now the norm in Malmo, previously a sleepy backwater across the bridge from Copenhagen or even ancient Uppsala?
Has anyone added up the cost of this migration madness in the UK and Europe?
