Justice demands accountability

There may be those who think this blog is simply (as very important as that is) about young asylum seekers.

They would be incorrect to assume this.

Of all the things that the asylum seeker surge of 2014-5 (remember, invited here with an open heart policy), has shown, is an alarming deterioration of judicial standards and jurisprudence – where accusation and opinion – NOT EVIDENCE – has been the basis for judgement. Many times that accusation and opinion is poorly researched, incorrect and an affront to any decent standard of jurisprudence. Accusation and opinion presented by civil servants who are paid by the taxpayer to follow rules.

It is time that those who abused the rules face accountability and are suitably admonished for bringing Swedish Justice into disrespect.

I am not alone in this perception…….am I ?

Those economic asylum seeker facts

It seems Mr. Reinfeldt had a good idea. It is a shame for Sweden that some political parties today do not choose to honour the ‘open heart’ promise that was made on behalf of Sweden prior to November 2015. A promise for which many young people, especially from the universally accepted war torn area of Afghanistan, risked their lives believing.
