Just wondering if anyone saw this two part documentary last week, showing the EU side of the negotiations? Everyone knew they were being filmed and recorded, but were surprisingly candid!

Yes, GrannyGravy, Sweden has accepted many refugees, more than their fair share, you could say. It is true that this has caused difficulties but allowing refugees fleeing war zones to enter Sweden is seen as a humanitarian act. The Nordic countries are implementing various integration schemes but, of course, these take time.

We must remember, though, that we have our own troubled areas, poverty and knife crimes spring to mind.

Greta totally agree we have our own problems.

I hope that once this Brexit fiasco is over (and as a leave voter I really do not care how or if we leave anymore) that this or whatever Government is in power can actually get on with the job of governance.

Agree, GrannyGravy, this state of limbo cannot continue, the country needs a competent government that can address the many issues we are all concerned about.

Sadly there isn’t one!
