President was right on Sweden

Sir, - When President Donald Trump told his Florida rally that “Sweden took large numbers (of refugees) and has problems it never thought possible” I expected hysterics and was not disappointed.

With many of my extended family living in Sweden, I was well aware that areas of Stockholm and other major towns are run by immigrant gangs and are “no-go” areas for the police.

Since 2014, crime figures have soared and women, even when accompanied by men in city centres, are routinely attacked and sexually abused by bearded “unaccompanied” youths.

Former Prime Minister of Sweden, Carl Bildt, with a well-deserved reputation for sweeping things under the carpet, went so far as to accuse the American president of being high on drugs.

But before Mr Bildt had finished, we heard police were fighting for their lives amid blazing cars on Stockholm’s streets and had been forced to open fire on Islam’s masked rioters.

A gold-plated welfare programme and porous entry policy, leaves Sweden with the highest per capita intake in Europe with the result that two thirds of all benefit payments are given to “refugees”.
