Stan, no surprises at those comments from Persson. Sweden has a substantial – and very poorly – integrated immigrant population in cities such as Malmo. That’s why the PM is saying what he did. He doesn’t want any unecessary ‘provocations’ to disturb the peace. Sweden’s response to the wave of immigration it has seen in recent years has been to sign up for some of the dumber pieties of multiculturalism. Needless to say, it has not worked.
