Re: Danish politician stakes claim to Swedish territory
I would have thought that there was a feeling of mutual belonging among all Scandinavian nations, but that's apparently not the case with the Danes at the Danish People's Party:
"If they want to turn Stockholm, Gothenburg or Malmö into a Scandinavian Beirut, with clan wars, honour killings and gang rapes, let them do it. We can always put a barrier on the Øresund Bridge."
--Pia Kjaersgaard, leader of Dansk Folkeparti--
