I have a lot of sympathy towards Sweden. These people came in as refugees with everything provided to them by the state, but instead of teaching their children to be grateful and actually parenting them (most do not even work so don't blame this on lack of parenting), they have raised criminals who abuse and take advantage of the kindness offered to them. Sweden has never had a history of colonising these African/Muslim-majority countries, yet these people still act like the Swedes committed an original sin so they take no accountability for the high crime rates and blame the Swedes for not offering more integration programmes/welfare. Except whatever offered to them will never be enough. They believe they are entitled to everything whilst contributing absolutely nothing. There is never any sense of personal responsibility with these type of people. It's always somebody else's fault, the system's fault, it's never the actions and decisions of my choosing which have led to my life outcomes.

I'm an Atheist and I suppose I am a cultural Christian. Although Christianity was fairly unpleasant at times, for the last 300 years it has allowed the Enlightenment and people's ability to explore other faiths and none. Christmas is still a special time and within some of my earliest memories. Growing up, I certainly don't remember any teachers having to go into hiding for offending Christians, or autistic schoolboys getting death threats for scuffing bibles.

I hate to mention Christopher Hitchens, but it was only really him that was brave enough to criticise Islam, and I wonder if he would have today given its current political influence?

How well it has gone for Canada with Trudeau..... people should be very wary of what will happen under a massive majority Labour Gov this time round. If they think voting Labour in is going to solve some of the main concerns like immigration, or sorting the UK finances, they are going to be wrong. The idea of taxing wealth is going to be highly controversial. Particularly if it is not limited to the very wealthy, so more than 1 million in assets/cash holdings. Simply windfall taxing people's homes would be extraordinarily unpopular.
I was in Malmö in 2011 and all the Swedes I talked to warned about this, and bemoaned the fact that the issue wasn't even allowed to be published in the media. These despairing Swedes also pointed to Denmark as an example of how to deal with the problem. So a very similar country, their nearest neighbour, had a completely different approach to creeping gangster Islamification. Respect to the Danes I say.
Incredible you could have such a huge majority with absolutely zero policies or idea on how to save the country . We’re absolutely doomed

It has amazed you, really? At University we learned that music, politics and economics are inextricably linked. Here are some examples : music in mediaeval Bruges flourishing due to major wealth generated by trading especially the wool trade: this also applied in Antwerp in the 16th century; this port city became a centre of printing, leading to music publishers being able to disseminate music internationally. Rome and Venice were successful city-states where architecture, art and music flourished (also science) with the overwhelming influence of the Catholic Church driving much of this development. Vienna, the epicentre of the Austo-Hungarian empire, became the world centre of 'Classical' music with Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, Schubert the 4 titans of the style all originating from there. Flourishing economic situation in Paris at end of 19th into 20th centuries led to rise not only of visual arts but also music with Debussy, Fauré, Ravel and 'Les Six'. In the USA look at the distinction between West and East Coasts of America in jazz in the 1950s and 1960s; broadly speaking East Coast being tied to a dynamic political sense of Black Consciousness with the West Coast more relaxed and more related to entertainment not social revolution. 'Hard bop' vs 'cool jazz'. In UK the funding available to niche modernist music in the 60s, 70s and 80s has tailed off to the situation now where there is almost no funding, so instead of avant-garde modernists we now see that Karl Jenkins is the UK's No.1 composer - as popularity is now the single overwhelming factor in artistic success in the UK due to profit generation. The likes of Birtwistle would not have been able to earn a living as composers had they been born 30 years after they were. This is the tip of the iceberg and I have omitted several dozen other examples I could cite. One hopes you will be less amazed in years to come.

Music (and architecture, art, literature, science etc) is inextricably linked to economically and politically flourishing times. Consider mediaeval Bruges, 16th-century Antwerp, the Spanish Netherlands and the Habsburgs, 17th century Rome and Venice with Monteverdi and Palestrina, 18th century Vienna. How did one city give us 4 titans of Classical music ? Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn and Schubert are those to whom I refer. The history of Jazz in USA is deeply enmeshed with social and political developments. One might cite dozens of other examples. All the niche avant-garde music of the 50s flourished due to cultural promotion budgets, think of Stockhausen, Boulez inheriting the modernist baton from Varèse and Stravinsky. And now in UK the principal valued factors are popularity and profitability - and so we learned last week that Karl Jenkins (bless him) is UK's No.1 classical composer. One hopes you are now a little less amazed and a touch more enlightened.

Fun fact: the Eagles sang back-up for Linda Ronstadt. She helped them financially go on their first tour (I think-don’t quote me on that). I still love the Eagles, and listen to their music. Linda Ronstadt, too. If people want to know how a woman should conduct herself while singing take a good look (no pun intended) at Linda Ronstadt. Her concert in Germany was just amazing. She looked amazing, too!
I and many of my Irish friends (especially those of us in England) have described ourselves as culturally Christian or Roman Catholic for the last 30 years. I’ve been an atheist since my early 29’s. However, I acknowledge the society, norms and cultural references around me have historically been Christian and greatly influenced by that faith.
I wish peoples ego's would leave the classics alone. This is the biggest problem.

"No one is born bad." Nah, everyone is born bad.
The point about Montesquieu should make us reflect a bit more, I think. Montesquieu isn't unique among writers, either. A lot of the enlightenment thinkers agreed with him. John Fortescue, centuries earlier, agreed with him. Napoleon made this a matter of government policy. Nor was this view unique among intellectuals. You'd complain it was something your wife made you do and all the priests were gay. Religion was always more popular with women than with men. Something else is happening now. I don't think Richard Dawkins deserves all - or even most - of the blame for the collapse in Christianity. Christianity can survive mockery. Meanwhile, there's a female vicar in this interview who I think might be closer to being part of the problem. No one wants to go to a church that doesn't believe in itself. Catholic church attendance has only declined after Vatican II. The collapse in church attendance is concentrated with the mainline protestant faiths and, to a lesser extent, the Catholics. Evangelicals are doing just fine in the US, the census says, while they're expanding dramatically in many developing countries. In orthodox countries, Christianity has actually been on the up for the past few decades, recovering from communism. If your church isn't counter-cultural, if its beliefs are generally accepted by a modern audience, you're doing it wrong.

This discussion begins to clarify the British form of government for me. And in such plush, posh tones! The editor - is it Fraser Nelson - is quite clear and obviously as clever as any American! In fact, my favorite newspaper, the Wall Street Journal, has a British editor-in-chief.
Fraser Nelson is not a conservative. But then, nor is the Cabinet. Metropolitan, Social Democrats.
