Remember Radio Free Europe? Now there’s a sort of “Radio Free Sweden”, based in
Denmark, safely outside the Swedish Politicalcorrectness-Zone.
Voice of Denmark is a daily debate
programme for Swedes, dealing with all the things people can’t or won’t talk
about in the Swedish media.
Inspired by Voice of America, which broadcast on the other side of the iron curtain during the Cold War, Radio24syv created a radio programme for neighbouring Sweden, so that Swedish listeners could debate subjects considered taboo in their own media.

For some of the things Swedish politicians would rather you
not talk about, try this:
When a center-right politician
wrote an opinion piece last month on the need to discuss a limit on refugee
numbers, her party leadership said they felt “sick” and “ashamed” of her
“pitiful” article.
and, with greater snark, this:
Schweden vor der Parlamentswahl: Der Lack ist ab in Bullerbü
Tomorrow’s parliamentary elections could prove
interesting. They might be hearing from these guys:

| The Return of the Repressed |
Zum Thema:
Tout débat lié à l'immigration est piégé. Candidate du très modéré
parti chrétien-démocrate (Kristdemokraterna, coalition sortante), Sara
Skyttedal, 28 ans, en sait quelque chose.
Lorsque, le 29 août dernier, elle a
remis en question "la capacité structurelle de la Suède d'accueillir 70 000
demandeurs d'asile cette année, dont 27 000 Syriens, au moment où le pays
manque de logements et alors que
40% de cette catégorie de migrants se trouve encore au chômage quinze ans après
son arrivée", elle a essuyé un méchant tir de barrage. "La seule
limite est la limite morale", l'ont sermonnée les écologistes. "De
même, l'an dernier, quand j'ai avancé l'idée que les auteurs de délits commis
sur le sol suédois par des ressortissants de l'UE, par exemple des Roumains,
soient empêchés de revenir, on m'a qualifiée de raciste." Selon elle,
"la posture moralisatrice de la gauche et d'une grande partie de la presse
empêche tout débat sensé".
[Update 14 September 2014] Alright, okay, the results are
in.
Regarding the minority parties, the MSM pre-election
hype was all about the Feminist
Party; in the event, it did not
win a single seat.
As for the Sverigedemokraterna, the pre-election coverage consistenly
minimized their figures, evidently in hopes that wavering voters would not vote
for them. In the event, they more
than doubled their total from last time.
They are still very much a minority party (in distant third-place), but compare
the trajectory of the French FN.
[Update 21 September 2014]
One online poster, Umm Ubaydah,
claims to have traveled alone to Syria to take care of her husband and fellow
Islamic State fighters. Three days after American reporter Steven Sotloff was
executed, one person asked on her Tumblr page, where she occasionally writes in
Swedish, what she thought of his execution. "I wish I did it," she
answered simply.
And this:

[Update 30 Oct 2015] The Guardian, which normally pushes the Care-Bears narrative, did allow this fait-divers to slip out:
