I guess, you & I know that the UK is doing an awful job regarding immigration & asylum seekers. For those who might not know - there are no legal routes to apply for asylum to the UK. All were deliberately removed in a genius move to make it impossible to apply. During Brexit, when the French offered to build a refugee precessing centre in Calais, the UK govt refused just to make it even harder - you can’t get refugees if you don’t process any refugee applications, or so they thought.
The only way currently to apply is to be in the UK - the catch22 is never explained.
So, refugees are now turning up in their thousands in small boats & are housed in hotels at the cost of £6 million a day. Some of these refugees were those who aided the UK in Iraq, Afghanistan & Syria but were not allowed to apply from their home country.
The Home Office is either innundated or on a go-slow to process as little applications as possible, while simultaneously trying to leave the European Court Of Human Rights - just so that refugees can be deported to Rwanda before too many are granted asylum. The conservatives created the problem that they are complaining about & are radicalising the country over it.
The Sweden Democrats are probably happy because the asylum seeker boat that will hold 500 refugees on an offshore ‘floating prison’ is called “The Bibby Stockholm”.
There is a far-right splinter group in the 2 party system here who call themselves the National Conservatives - or NatCs as they are called :)
Bibbi Stockholm will likely not comply with fire hazard laws and other such “rights” that are suddenly trivial and luxury when it’s an asylum seeker. As we speak, a large number of teachers, nurses, doctors, and their many associations in different parts of Sweden are refusing to report the paperless and calling for civil disobedience (as far as I know this is still a proposal the government wants to implement). The government doesn’t seem to be responding to this issue or addressing it.

Thanks for adding all these details.
