immigration was not the biggest political issue before the election, it was inflation
a common sentiment here is that if people want to live and work in this hellhole then let them, when they are trying to kick out families that have been here for years there are often protests and backlash so they are sometimes allowed to stay

the succdems have been in talks and getting advice from both the Danish "social democrats" and the "labour" party in Britain
another common sentiment here is that people should be kicked out sooner before they can settle, I believe that is what they will try to do regarding this issue

Harrowing, be strong comrade!

she probably got first hand reports on the Nakba as the British were leaving, hard to see them as anything but terrorists after that, oooooor just anti-semitism

Sure, unless your bedroom is in the highlands

ohh yeah, dear tourists it's fine to stack rocks on beaches and stuff, like there is a great spot near Harpa, the concert hall, just not on the highlands

those rock piles are a big nuisance in Iceland, we have our own centuries old waymarkers that can still serve a purpose as long as the tourists stop making new ones
