We don't joke a lot to hide our history, we're proud of it and we don't buy IKEA furniture if we want a quality product.
The lad was speaking English recorded on a digital camera and via the Internet watched on smartphones in a world through UK shaped......
Bert not everyone in the UK is proud of the legacy of colonialism. Other things yes, including standing up to Hitler, but not that.
@@Ok_yes_its_me you’ll be one of those drunk on moral vanity.
@@Ok_yes_its_me but the main reason we managed to resist Hitler and the axis powers as a whole was because of colonialism. We had a massive empire with the resources,territory and industry to stop the Nazis rampaging across the globe and we did it not just with British soldiers but with soldiers from all across the empire. Without the British empire Germany could have won the war and as a result democracy would be non existent in Europe to this day so you should be proud of the UK'S colonial past as you are only living in a democracy today because of it
@@Ok_yes_its_me what do you think the Romans and Viking did to your ancestors. Just saying
In that case are the Swedish people nice to make up for what they did when they where vikings
Torkel high, who took the third dane-yield was actually from Sweden... And there was probably a lot of people from south Sweden that came over to England at Sweyn and Canute´s reign... People like Blackstenius, Anvegård, Rytting-Kaneryd etc.. I have hundreds of people in N England which I share MtDNA with, we have the same female ancestor, and that must have happened in the Viking-age...
For the Swedes that made comments about British colonialism, remember What the Vikings did rapped and pillaged and during the Second World War they were neutral and turned a blind eye and did absolutely nothing to stop the Nazis and the murdering of 6 million Jews murdered in the concentration camps . You can thank the Uk and it’s commonwealth colonies for the massive sacrifices that the troops made in the fight against the Hitler and the Nazis, if it wasn’t for there actions then Sweden would be speaking German today , so you can thank use anytime
And also the fact Sweden itself had 5 colonies >.>.
Bit harsh. As a British I don't believe that Sweden owes us anything. It was actually the Soviets that beat the Nazis, and look what they did after they got into Germany.
Swedes have to be kind of funny to make people forget what they did in the northern empire under Charles Xll.
For the Swedish citizen complaining about colonialism and the current populations supposed guilt, i would counter with your Vikings, should you be ashamed still for what they did?
I think people shouldn’t be criticising as much in general. Your viking point is a bit of a checkmate counter in fairness though
And what ??
We are British and proud, we’re used to being hated by everyone!
Don't know why you made that comment. They weren't badmouthing us.
@@bunchberry9957 there’s one particular woman who was attacking the British, she said that we tried to use our sense of humour to cover up the crimes of the empire!
@Steven Clarke I know but that was just one person. If you read the comments, everyone is pissed off with her, even Swedish people. Most British people want to move on but people like her keep dragging up the past. It's infuriating. What she's clearly forgetting is that nearly all European countries colonised, not just the UK. Hell even Sweden were colonisers aswell.
The British even hate themselves.
They must like us as they learn ENGLISH.
They can't stand us! Their English is based on a fascination with American culture.....if you can call it that! American classic vehicles all over Sweden. They're a bit of an odd duck🦆.
The whole of Europe has a terrible colonial past not just Britain. For example the atrocities the Germans committed against the Herero people in Namibia is beyond anything the British ever did.
@zuppymac The British Empire banned slavery for the world, not only that, but the Royal Navy forced all other nations to stop the African slave trade, just check out on KZhead the British crusade against the African slave trade, also when Britain defeated the Indian army and began the 200 year rule of India they discovered the quaint Indian tradition of Widow burning, the British told them to stop it immediately, and they replied that it was their tradition, the British said it was their tradition to hang men who did it and confiscate their property, how many lives do you think that saved, bearing in mind the huge population of India.
@zuppymac Hmmm where do we start. Spain, wreaked havoc in the South & Central America’s as well as Mexico. Portugal, again responsible for uninvited trips to the South America’s. France, well just read your history for the countries they visited. Belgium, the nightmare they inflicted in central Africa. Germany, we all know that lot. The Scandinavian countries, well you have to go back a while for those bad boys, but we suffered from them. Anymore.
And many of the people ,crossing the English Channel in dinghies for sanctuary in the UK are from former FRENCH COLONIES, which Brits had nothing to do with.
@zuppymac Great that you want more immigration into Sweden. All that green, open space ,clean water and fresh air that Greta loves so much Tell the leader of the WEF, that the people of Sweden,,who have never Invaded anywhere ( oh except the British Isles) are happy to oblige the problem of millions of displaced people, due to their governments ' policies of rivers dammed,,weapons of mass destruction now frequently tested in the world's oceans,, mass coal and gas use in China and Asia and the Middle East, now the playground of the oligarchs and USA, Russian and European, multi - billionaires,,
@zuppymac This is a GLOBAL situation and if the UK MSM ( which is Remain focused for profit) were to seek the truth as they are always saying " in the public interest", then they would find that many of the people, who crossed the English Channel in dinghies are from countries in Africa and Malaysia, which were and some still are, French colonies with Macron ( or the French Govt) issuing their currencies!! Now you may consider I digress, but the hard and unpleasant truth is that the brutal clearing of the Calais Jungle by Macron's police agents has been intensified in preparation for the quest of Macron to host the Olympic games in Paris ,next year!! Not good for the new world mega rich VIPs to see thousands of protesting ,displaced people on the streets of ' safe' St Germain is it nor the usary bankers!?
"What they did in the past with colonialism"? Good grief. smh I'm British and I've never colonised anything. Some people, those who are particularly low-resolution thinkers, seem to be unable to differentiate between the past and the present, and unable to grasp that cultural and/or ethic essentialism makes a seriously faulty connection between the individual, the group to which they belong, and how that relates (if at all) to history. That kind of groupthink is really dangerous.
Maybe we should have left those countries then to continue without any civilised order ,witch doctors, and no grasp of what they could be.
Yeah it’s like blaming Americans who are alive today for what what was done to the natives of America ~300 years or so ago. It’s dumb thinking lol
Without wishing to sound overly defensive I always get frustrated when people talk about 'they' and colonialism in Britain. I consider myself English, but my paternal Grandparents were Irish and my maternal Grandparents were from the Highlands of Scotland, both places which suffered greatly at the hands of the English upper class. Up until recently many working class English people were in workhouses, and parts of the country still suffer from extreme amounts of poverty. It was in the main the English gentry, aristocracy and upper classes that benefited from 'the empire' and despite still being very wealthy and owning huge swathes of the land in Britain/England - these people are a tiny % of the population and certainly don't represent your average Brit.
exactly cotton mills and coal mines worked by children
For the person at the star that complains about colonialism. The British Empire did more good than harm. We civilised the world. You can thank us anytime you want.
You are absolutely right and the British Empire banned slavery in 1807 and then forced the ban on the African slave trade by force of the Royal Navy, look on KZhead for the British crusade against the African slave trade.
Just for anyone reading this, not all Brits think like this, or believe the hype that we 'civilised' the world like Great White Saviours. Some of us realise that ancient civilisations like the Eqyptians, the Mesopotamians, the Persians, the Indians, the Chinese, were building pyramids, advancing medicine and scientific theories, developing complex political systems, and founding powerful dynasties, whilst the indigenous Britons were painting themselves blue and building huts out of mud. I'm not going to enter into a discussion about the brutality, the genocide and the oppression that the British Empire brought with them while they 'civilised' the nations they conquered, or the disgusting views those Britons had about the people they ruled over, but suffice to say, 'doing more good than harm' is a bold statement that history will not treat kindly.
@@LouLouMoran Good grief. Not another self loathing woke lefty. People aren't interested in your virtue signalling. The truth is that no other nation has done more to lift up humanity then us Brits. I also find it fascinating that your sort always bring color and race in the conversion. It almost like you are a racist.
@@LouLouMoran all these foreign civilisations you mention were all benign and peaceful were they? Just so you know the marvellous Indian civilisation had a quaint tradition of widow burning until Britain stamped it out at the beginning of the 200 year British rule, and of these wonderful civilisations what did they invent that is in daily use around the world today? as a for instance, Britain invented Vaccine, penicillin, the train, Television, the worlds first massed produced tooth brush, Radar, the jet engine, the world’s first patented pneumatic tyre, tar macadam from which most roads are built, Portland cement which holds most of the world’s buildings together, the tin can and computer to name just a few, and then the big one, Britain was the first country to ban slavery in 1807, and then enforced it on the rest of the world, not bad for little Britain, that is why we are proud of our history!
@@pauljohnson1664 My goodness you assume a lot about me. And equally you also speak a load of shit. Where on earth did I bring up colour and race? I'm talking about civilisations, not races. What the fuck is virtue signalling? Have a read about any of the atrocities committed by the British Empire. That's not virtue signalling, that's cold hard fact, even if you're not brave enough to face it. Ultimately, you are not only wrong in what you say, you are also an arrogant coward who can't bear to face their country's dark past. I'm sorry for you.
Great work Keep it up ❤❣️
Got to ‘love’ the passive aggressive woman who thinks Brits have a sense of humour because of the British Empire. I wonder how Swedes cope with having been neutral in the fight against Hitler?
Absolutely well said, they can thank the British commonwealth for saving their arses!
Swedes coping well for raping, murdering, pillaging and colonising Britain. Either block it out or ill educated.
London is hardly England any more but almost entirely recent immigrants. "White flight" took place years ago so the English Londoners have almost entirely disappeared. Londoners voted overwhelmingly to 'remain' and were very cross about Brexit.
I think a holiday in Sweden would be like being under sedation....very expensive sedation.
Not really expensive. Try Norway
Stockholm in summer is one of the most beautiful places on earth and there's music and open cafes all night long packed with people.
Yeah. I used to spend a lot of time in Sweden. Objectively it's better than than UK but it's also really boring.
I like the Bridge which i saw many times in movies more than Queen 😀good job Bro!
Hahaha Which one? 😀
The person who mentioned colonialism and that we’re funny to make people forget, well no we don’t try to make people forget, Sweden is very nice, are you nice to get people to forget your history? Every country has a bloody history, we have no control over that, it felt like an unnecessary swipe. Also we are not eternal enemies of Germany. Only during the world wars but before and after we are friends.
We had nothing to do with colonialism,that was a different generation
So what the Vikings did for 500 years wasn't colonialism?
Blame your weak ancestors.
Strictly those 'weak ancestors' actually defeated the Vikings the vast majority of the time including for the final time at the Battle of Stamford Bridge. When the Viking invaders did take the throne of England they couldn't turn it into a dynasty and it folded incredibly quickly. Try again.@@thepretorian5292
Just recently done a Dna test I'm 62% Scandinavian like quite a few British people from Viking and Norman ancestry also I have visited Gothenburg Nice city and the Swedish people are lovely
Ref. the young lady with a memory longer than her life, who can forget what the Vikings did? 😉😂
You were not in Paris.
Some very interesting comments 😂
Some of the recordings are very quiet - I can't hear what they're saying.
Colonialism. Plenty of other countries did it too. What about when we were colonised - 3 times. We did lead the march to abolish slavery and made ourselves poor at the time to do so. London - too busy but I like the multi-culturalism. Tha'ts why its busy.
Yes ok ,but what it’s the problem about just admit the colonialism? In my country (Spain) nowadays at the schools they explain very clearly and raw the atrocities that Spain committed specially in the Americas. I don’t think that’s the case in the uk. I only seen answers like your answer,of course it was other countries but they are not proud of that unlike the Uk.
@@joseescobaralegre5421 Oh we do admit to it. Being a powerful nation we went out and conquered. And, we do talk about it in our schools. Dont worry, our education system is very left wing. What they dont say is the three times we were colonised as a nation and used as slaves. That we were also taken as slaves by the North Africans to work in their quarries. However, the colonisation helped civilise us, the same as we then went out and tried to civilise other nations. It is never good at the time but you do reap benefits further down the road. Many have only reverted to type once we left. The reason you will be seeing comments like mine is because we are told we cannot be proud of the UK or we are far-right. We should be ashamed of our country because of our past. Never other countries who did the same, just the UK. Never Germany after two world wars. But we should be proud. The UK has given the world one hell of a lot, including the world wide web, the industrial revolution, the world's common language. The abolishment of slavery that we led the march on and funded a Navy for, for many years which took some of our power because of what it cost us. I could go on. So, sorry, but on here is the only place we are allowed to be proud. So, please forgive us for loving our nation.
@@loopielou4426 no person should be ashamed of his country that’s for sure. I understand very well what you mean.
@@joseescobaralegre5421 Thank you. I appreciate that.
@@loopielou4426 but anyway I think Denmark was the first country to abolish slavery in 1792,in fact state of Vermont ,an independent republic after the American revolution ,becomes first sovereign state to abolish slavery in 1777.
Not a shithole if you venture out of london Cornwall lake District etc
I think a swede will much prefer the progressive regions like London and Lake District to the other parts of England.
Parts of Essex, Kent, Surrey, Hertfordshire etc.... Where you from Mark?
@@mikekaraoke London originally but spent most of my life in Hampshire
@@markhudson1887 Ah nice, whereabouts in London? I was last in Hampshire last Sept. I'm in Kent right between Dartford/Bexleyheath 👍 Oh and did you watch: Antiques Roadshow in Feb as they were in Hampshire and showed-Winchester Cathedral, Paulton's Park, National Motor Museum, Beaulieu, + The Marlands Shopping Centre 😃
@@spareemail2221 The political views of an area coincide with culture and attitude. People in progressive areas will have a culture and attitude much more similar to Sweden’s. The appeal of a traditional and conservative community won’t draw in many Swedes.
So the lady says about our Past .A viking Norsman Dane all NORSE People who attack us in the past.
The UK has many bad points, but overall more good points; but I am British. The majority of the US were from Britain, just like Australia and other countries. For us, they are like relatives and not just another country. I do admire people from Norway, Sweden and Findland. So, it was great to listen to their thoughts. I also think they are the stronger partners within the EU, but I seem to remember that they are not fully integrated into it; I may be wrong. I would also agree that they seem to have a better way of life than us British, more chilled and more options. But, you can't pick where you are born.
0:48 didn't the vikings rape a pillage?
Exactly what a ludicrous statement that was lol. Pretty sure they was extremely barbaric, much worse than the British Empire!
@@usefulrandom1855 but what does the past have to do with any of us alive now?
@@bushcrafty7274 Exactly, just making a point of how short sighted his comment was.
@@usefulrandom1855 hahah
Pardon did they 🤔no more than any other people's .👍..a myth more than truth...
Love stuff like this xxx we are not that bad people are people xxx love to Sweden 🎉
The guy British people go to a Irish pub then go home doesn't everyone ilke to going to a pub or Irish pub not just the British people why would we go to a Irish pub when we could go to just as many British pubs bit of a strange comment lol I've been to Sweden Stockhyi thought the people were lovely and very friendly 👍🏻
I use to deal with Swedish home stay students. They were amongst the most disliked students for treating their host families badly. Most Asian students didn’t like them for some reason. Personally I had Swedish friends but they always warned me against the arrogant Swede. Good and bad in all countries. On another note your nationality might effect their answers. Remember most of them watch biased pro EU media. I like the guy who said “They have been around”. 🇬🇧
Funnily enough I was talking to a danish guy and he told me some Swedes are really arrogant. Also good point about the pro EU media 👍
@@lightfootpathfinder8218 As a Swede I wouldn't define us as arrogant. Now this is obviously my daily life growing up here and being used to everyone being a bit introverted (as I am as well). Walking up to someone, asking for directions would be my last choice but I don't mind someone asking me; Although I must agree my tone and expression might be a bit sharp but that's just my introvert side xd. Also he nordic countries tend to talk shit about each other so I wouldn't trust that danish guy.
@@AnnaBanana_00 as an Englishman that is used to the Scottish,Irish and Welsh talking shit about us I took the danish view of Sweden with a pinch of salt as I guessed there would be local bias in Nordic countries just as there is in the British isles lol
@@lightfootpathfinder8218 Haha as you should! 😅 I come from the south part and people from the rest of Sweden always call us danish as an insult bc of our accent (since we belonged to Denmark far back in time). It’s bullying fr 😭
@@AnnaBanana_00 nice one. I'm from northern England (Yorkshire) and a lot of our dialect is similar to Swedish and danish.
Yes I think the future between the UK and Sweden should be good for friendship holidays and trade.
People from the UK wouldn't be able to hear the difference between the accents, however.
We are following a lot of swedes in english football...
I visited Stockholm for the first time and I found the Swedish people to be lovely and understanding. Even if they thought i was a crazy gobby brit.
🎵🎶Let me tell you about Sweden::the only country where the clouds are interesting 🎶🎵😂(great stranglers song and so right)🇬🇧👍
When you're the foreigner, you're the one with the accent.
They go to London and assume the whole UK is like that. Go to a quieter village or town out in the countryside and you will learn how different it can be. York is a good example of a city that just looks like a big town not even a city, visit York it is wonderful.
I think the "U.K. are enemies with Germany" was the stupidest comment in this video
Rich that woman moaning about colonialism but failed to mention Sweden's collusion with the nazis during WW2 hypocrites, also moaning about our weather when they're further north than we are 🤦🤷
I really liked the guy to the left at 2:37
The girl was pretty kool too
He was in full Mood 😅
A lot of us have Scandinavian in our DNA. I’m one person who would not like to be nearer to the USA
Funny, i have travelled to england and i found the brits too short and dark haired to pass for a scandinavian
Pretty sure the Scandinavians invented colonialism during the Viking era but sure we'll skip over that...
When the sound is so poorly recorded please turn off the music because I can't hear what they're saying sometimes!
I'm a Brit who definitely feels European, definitely prefers being an island off the coast of France and definitely doesn't want to be an island off the coast of New York!!! 😄 Also the German guy who said said 'f*ck you for leaving EU' - yep, feel you there. 'And for burning down Germany'. I mean, Germany burnt down a lot of Britain too so... pax??! 🤝
They bombed my chip shop
Oh yes, German citizen ,living in Sweden, the Brits found out ( too late) that those EU Treaties signed off in 2004, without tge human right ,to a prior EU Ref,,was really to pay EU bank debts and German reunification!
The EU is an outdated Eurocentric movement. If you take the time to study its inner workings you will be amazed. I use to pro EU but now I am pro European/ World. It is strange how the EU has morphed into a monster that treat countries as its counties. Study study.
@@patrickkelly7085 they bombed my granny too
What’s it got to do with them us leaving the eu, what can’t they live without us then
The young Swedes say "like" a lot!...Americans!
Yeah......like.....I never......like, knew the Swede's like disliked us.......like!😂❤
Did anyone spot the German who was interviewed? If so, what gave him away?
No which one was he?
True what the guy said about the rich
Thanks to the Tory party and all the Muppets that voted for them!
I laughed watching this video as a Swede because many of them were sarcastic. Then I watched the comments & got surprised by how easily offended some British people are 😂 the IKEA furniture could be a banter from the World Cup in 2018 when English people invaded IKEA stores, jumped in their couches and caused a mess after Sweden got knocked out by England.
Why insult UK man. We love your country.. we see your country as magical brother, so pretty and unique I’m from London and we don’t think like you say.
Oh cmon man. They were so genuine in insults, stop trying to make it something it’s not. People are struggling to answer, if they aren’t they straight insult uk, even then it’s impossible to tell cause they cut them straight off.
That young guy sitting on the wall was as accurate as you could get to a British person he was bang on lol!
You can say that about any country. I would never go to an Irish pub. Unless it is in Ireland. I only liked country pubs. The boys joke works in most countries. The UK is known for being a great importer of goods from around the world. Unlike some EU countries that were not like that in the past. The UK was more open on imports than other European countries before joining the common market.
What the boy said was a joke told about the British can be said about any country. Actually I first heard that joke about Americans just changed it around.
That joke is originally about the USA
only time I've been to an Irish pub was in Ireland, don't own any IKEA furniture and never ordered Indian food. Ate at restaurant a few times that's about it. So not very accurate at all.
@@TheTwoFingeredBulldog Iv never been to an Irish pub in England and iv never bought IKEA furniture. Weatherspoons and Argos for me lol
The 2nd woman who was interviewed and said that British people have to be funny so we can forget about colonialism which is fair point but has she never heard of the Vikings
guess what vegetable i bought my sheep today
The guy who says Brits don't give a damn about the poor is partly right - the ruling class and the media certainly don't, and neither do the hardcore of traditional Conservative voters. However, most ordinary people do care, and spend a lot of time volunteering, raising money for charities and trying to help people who are worse off than themselves. Inequality has exploded here over the last 10-15 years, and it has been extremely painful to witness - I live in one of the most deprived cities in England and it has been awful to see more homeless people sleeping on the streets, and food banks unable to meet the high demand. Our backward political system and terrible media make it look like we're an uncaring cold country, but if you actually survey people about their opinions, the majority of people are just as centre-left as the rest of Northern Europe. Scotland certainly is - which is why I really hope they vote for independence if they have another referendum. Sadly England will never be able to escape the ruling class which owns it.
That applies to all countries. People try to climb up the social ladder everywhere. It applies to the human RACE.
A Swedish person talking about British colonialism when they did the exact same thing to the UK. The irony and lack of awareness is unbelievable.
Had a couple of Swedes from the same company come to work with us in the UK to learn new systems.We asked what they thought of the UK,they said "It was a dirty third rate nation".
Really, not when we had some Swedes come to our work for the council meetings we had last month!
@@mikekaraoke It is not was most swedes think.
Swedes are hard-core pro EU. They are arrogant people. Most European people have a dislike to swedes when you chat with them.
I had no idea. It's odd when you think how well regarded the Brits & the Norwegians think of one another. Us & the Norwegians are great mates but their nextdoor neighbour seems to utterly despise us.....hay'ho.
@@burntcrumpets5616 We dont hate the UK. People in Sweden usually like the UK.

Thank you for leaving EU, and thank you for burning Germany. What a quote: whatever happened to Swedish neutrality? I see they’ve decided to join the NATO party; but can’t think why that may be.😂
The guy 2:44 think he is Dutch 🙂
Vikings complaining about colonialism. I've from London and I've got 9% Swedish DNA. Pretty sure my ancestors never lived there. 👀
I can never understand why we Brits never got round to invading Sweden. I believe it's one of the 22 countries we've never invaded. How very odd, especially as it's so handy!!! 🇬🇧🤔🙄😂😂
a swede calling anywhere a shithole is kind of hilarious tbh
We don't want to be anti-Europe, and certainly not American!
I think Vikings where part of History. So whats so different than colonialism. Both from the past. But didnt GB end slavery. Where was her nation involving the end of the slave trade. Picking out what she needs to feed her hate of another Nation, While having faults in there own past.
It's an absurdity that any foreigner thinks we even give a damn what our colonial ancestors did in the past. That's on them; if they want to drag up the past we can all do that.

They don't give a damn about the poor! Spot on sir! Wish you were wrong but spot on true 👍.
I doubt the ones that mention British colonialism actually know much about what really happened. It's an easy, lazy slur. She should google "Swedish overseas colonies" and "The Swedish slave trade", Sweden isn't innocent.
Fascinating that even after the era of Brexit and BoJo’s Prime Ministership, the UK still comes off much more positively in Sweden! The Gothenburg gentlemen had an (accurate) critique about how the British political class doesn’t seem to care much at all for the poor, but even that wasn’t enough to wipe out his positive orientation. Why is it that the UK is seen more favorably than the US, despite having many of the same dysfunctions and ugly aspects of history and culture?
It’s probably due to UK and Sweden being the instigator of, the one who proposed, wrote etc a lot of what is now the EU. We rather worked together, with the other frugal 4 (5 if you count Finland) keeping EU from exploding either economically or legislative
you're allowed to want to be an independent country, people who aren't EU fantatics don't care about that.

@@mcarlsson74 Martin thank you for those words about the UK.

All countries have ugly aspects of history and culture. You need to open your mind and free it from your Marxist education. Live outside your own country and learn more about than living there.

Yes most everyone thinks better than the British and American
Poor English
And most everyone is wrong
Colonial past get over yourselves try expanding the blinkered limited knowledge of history some on here have.
the german burning down germany they started the bombing
Britain was bombed nightly for years. When I was growing up in the 1950s there were still massive bomb craters everywhere you went! What does Sweden know about WW2....?!? They weren't even in it. They've enjoyed the nearly 80 years of freedom we won for Western Europe though. Shut the hell up about OUR burning Germany!!!!
0,39-normally swedes speak better english....
They haven’t been here that long in the U.K. to know what it’s really like I agree it’s much better in the USA..
And you are now, citizen of everywhere, committed to nowhere it seems , residing in which country?
Addressed to Mr Steve
Totally disagree with you!
Listen to John Lennon Imagine….very much how we felt in the sixties
Yes Sandra let's bring back the music to the UK, and less of this awful party politicking ,encouraged by some in the overpaid media. More MUSIC ON THE BBC AND THE ALL OF UK MEDIA,AND DANCING IN THE STREETS,.💕🙏👏💕💕
Hahaha colonialism comming from Sweden..an ex viking country..
Of all of the regions of Somalia I think Sweden is my least favourite.
Is there anything good in Sweden ?
Yes the Swedes they are a good and noble people.
Swedes it seems can do no wrong. They remain neutral to let everyone else pay for everything and somehow they have signed a treaty with the EUC and their German friends, to ensure no more displaced people go to Sweden! Where are the international lawyers here ,shouting foul!?
No
Course there is, you must of seen stuff on TV/pics over the years lol And I also been there on holiday since a small kid in the 80's!
SO DON'T LIKE DON'T COM WON'T BE MISSED SIMPLE
Half of us did not want to leave the EU. The other half were sold a massive lie. They won but many of them now see it as a big mistake. I love my Swedish friends and I love Smorgastarta!
UK been criticizing imperial Germany and Nazi Germany past for the last 110 years, but as soon as you bring up UK colonialism past they get real sensitive
Nope we don’t really 😂😂
