https://x.com/Proudofthisland/status/2092899007265640488 Edinburgh paused ordinary housing applications so it could keep processing homeless people whose asylum claims have just been approved.

31,000+ still waiting.

Homelessness up 75% in five years.

Temporary accommodation for former asylum seekers jumped from 1% to 16%.

They told people asking “who gets housed first?” to shut up. Now we have the answer.

Council voted this week to restart the full list in October. Until then the queue stays frozen for everyone else.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This is absolutely disgusting!

Jonatan Alfvén:

Here we stand in front of your grave. This wasn't how it was supposed to end—you were supposed to still be with us.

Two men broke into your apartment. You woke up to them yelling and grabbing your legs. They then attacked you and took turns raping you. The men both threatened, hit, and kicked you. They put you in chokeholds until your vision went black.

The men were sentenced to prison, but you only received 3,000 kronor in compensation because that was all they owned. At the same time, the state paid out 840,000 to one of your perpetrators because they deemed he had been in prison too long—despite the fact that he had tortured you for hours.

Society failed you, Petra, and in the end, the demons became too many. The darkness took your life...

Today, my daughter and I lit a candle at your grave. Purple flowers, white lilies, and a card with a butterfly on it. My daughter will know what a wonderful person you were.

On Wednesday, I risk being sentenced to prison for writing about one of your perpetrators. I'm glad you don't have to see how our authorities continue to reward the men who so callously destroyed your life.

But the people, Petra. The people were with you. I'm glad I got to know you before your death. That we got to hand out gifts worth nearly 200,000 kronor and show a loving greeting from Pernilla Wahlgren.

Beloved friend. Forgive us for how society treated you. And forgive me for not being there for you more.

Rest in peace, missed angel.

One of the perpetrators was deported. The other remains and continues to commit new crimes. As recently as last year, he was sentenced to prison for assaulting a 16-year-old girl. The same day, he attacked again. That victim was knocked unconscious, suffered a concussion, and has lasting impairments like vision loss.

From prison (!) the man then got help to file a police report against me for gross defamation. And when the trial took place last week, he refused to take any responsibility at all for Petra's death. Instead, he screamed wildly, addressed me as "the perpetrator," and eventually had his microphone turned off before storming out.

I just can't comprehend why our authorities spend millions of kronor to give these ruthless individuals vindication?

This Indian called George, stung ten days ago on the 18th August, arrived in Ireland with his wife and child ten days prior on the 8th August. He came to Ireland to work in the NCT (National Car Test).

He was stung after talking sexually to a 13-year-old girl...

Chinese Embassy guards wave electric stun guns at Tibetan protesters. They'll probably be taking them inside their new embassy soon to apply them directly 🤷🏻

Really wanted one of these in my twenties. Thought it would be a great way to see the national parks. And probably annoy a lot of people...
