The funny thing is that this wife has been taken money (monthly paid salaries ) for all of this time knowing that she is part of a f## big lie and when things didn't work out well between her and the her husband family she screwed up for everyone by telling the media and officials! I can't understand these people. I just I can't!
Thanx to this man the state cannot spend this money on something evil. And will in fact have to go out and plunder the Swedes for even more money. Until something breaks and people truly had enough. We need many many more brave entrepreneurs just like him. He deserves all the best for his good service to us Swedes.

Haven't you seen north-africans and middle-easterns who are doctors, entrepreneurs, government officials and more.. ? Don't make fun of yourself mate, seriously!
There is a true matter of percentage and figures that shows that a large majority of these guys aren't behaving well. But this can't hide the fact that there are good people among them.. Does this make any sense to you?

But don't you think it is your duty as a citizen and the duty of your government to implement the appropriate tools that help select only the 5% who are good?
What is "voting" is made for?
Or are you scared to be called a "racist"?
