First the Swedes, now Italy. It's all collapsing around you or something. Well, ya still got France.
If they disappoint Europe in their next election we'll have Napoleon. And if Germany goes right it will be Hitler. It's like you're getting the gang back together.Last edited by Maranatha; 09-26-2022, 02:47 PM.

Italy: Young immigrants commit nearly 1 out of every 2 crimes in their age group
The data helps dispel the notion that immigrants have higher crime rates simply because they are mostly made up of young males. The data here simply compares crime rates between foreigners and natives who are from the same age groups, and it shows that foreigners account for a massively disproportionate share of the overall crime rate.
ISTAT also shows that the share of crime committed by foreigners has steadily increased in the last few decades. In 1990, foreigners represented 2.5 percent of those accused of crimes while in 2009, foreigners represented 24 percent of those accused of a crime. This troubling statistic has only grown worse over the years.

Like in this country, the elites are immune from their inane policies that the rest of us have to live under.

Watch how they suddenly sit up and pay attention if you take their very generous Congressional pension plan and roll it into Social Security.
