And how did I forget about visiting you, I need to get moving this summer.

Seems like it’s easier to visit the queen in person than the easily spooked Mark JJ. Always a bit sick when someone’s in town so I hear.

I must admit, it’s a bit unfair in painting Sweden with the same brush as Malmo. It’s like saying England is as bad as London or Bradford. 
 

I’m much happier in a rural setting. Im

not gonna get raped out here, no matter how much I try.  

 

Oh don't do yourself down. I'm sure that there are some penal establishments in the Deep South where you'd be a nice catch 😄

 

You'd not catch me in parts of Malmö, Göteborg or Stockholm any more than some of the shittier places in the UK. Cities are more of problem than individual countries.

You wouldn't get raped anywhere, no one in their right mind would touch you with a barge pole..

Unless he managed to get himself locked up in Miami. I’m sure they would like him in there

It's not a wish to own a home without a mortgage in a socialist country. As of Friday, we now own our own home in a socialist country without a mortgage.

 

 

That's not strictly true.

 

It's down to the way that it's reported. For instance, in the case of rape within marriage or relationship, each individual rape is recorded, whereas in most other countries it's only counted once. 

 

Regardless, crime exists everywhere. Any one of us could point to any number of abhorent crimes to bolster our individual agendas. People are shit, certainly. It's why I'd rather live somewhere with a lower population.

J, the only reason you’re in the fortunate position of owning a property in a more socialist country is purely down to taking a mortgage out in a more capitalist country first. You’ve reaped the rewards of an ever increasing housing crisis in the UK and dipped. 
 

Your sorry is not one of socialism but one of pure capitalism. 
 

You know I’m really chuffed for you and I know you’re gonna make it work. All down to your determination and work ethic. But Geeezo, you’ve played the capitalist system and won. Nothing more. 
 

I might join you in a few years. 🤣 We can milk our communal cows together whilst ensuing our compound is free of roving gangs looking to loot and rape. 😬

Well it’s a blessing and a curse I’ll just have to live with I guess.

Unless I've read it wrong he's never owned a house.

Actually, we've never owned a house here. The capital is built up from 10 plus years of business ownership. It's a very modest amount, to be honest. 

 

I suppose I ought to rephrase it insofar that I want to live in Scandinavian capitalist society. Socially responsible entrepreneurism, which is very much the mode de rigueur in Sweden.

 

As for communal living - tried that 15 years ago and not again, thanks! I'm far, far too antisocial.
