Swedish King Considers Opening Up Royal Palaces To House Refugees
Daily Caller ^ | 11/11/15 | Jacob Bojesson

King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden is considering letting refugees stay in his unused palaces as the country has run out of available housing options.

The King has 16 extravagant estates across the country, many of which he never uses. Margareta Thorgren, the royal director of communication, said the royal family has taken the Syrian migrant situation to heart and is “open to creative solutions” to solve the housing emergency.

“The royal family is following it and is very engaged in the issue,” Thorgren said. “The situation is such that we need as many people as possible helping out, and the royal family has done this by helping established organizations working on the refugee crisis.”

Letting people stay in the king and queen’s primary residence of Drottningholm Palace is not an option. But if the National Property Board — which technically owns the estates — is open to using some of the unused properties, they will have a discussion according to Thorgren.

“We are very positive to this and think it’s a very good idea to take advantage of the properties that aren’t getting used,” Johan Zetterberg, director at The National Property Board, told Dagens Nyheter.

Maintenance of the properties is funded by taxpayer money. Swedish news outlets were forced to turn off the comment sections on their websites after too much outrage from people over the controversial idea.

Whenever I get frustrated at the level of self-destructiveness of American society, all I have to do is look at Sweden and realize that we have a long way to go to reach the epitome.

So when is the Vatican going to house some of these alleged refugees since the Church hierarchy is the one encouraging these invasions?

Maybe we should have Gustaf come over and tour some Section 8 rentals so he can see how ‘refugees’ treat property they don’t own.

Our DC politicians have little-used vacation homes all over America, too.

I must assume they will contribute those to house ‘refugees’ the government is bringing here.

Something tells me that Your Hindness, King Gustov, will not have a choice as to who will be living in the Royal Palace in a few years.

As the liberals who orchestrated this are lined up against the wall by their new masters, they will be asking the simple question of them: “But you promised to treat us well if we gave you power.” The answer will be, as it has always been throughout recorded history: “We needed your help, so we lied, but we’re smart enough to know that you would have been our first (and maybe only) credible opponents in our new society.”

...and Sweden is done.

Good luck with that. They will be trashed beyond recognition and will have to be razed. I hope they remove the furniture...if not, they would probably destroy it all, even burning it along with the house.

An idea whose time has come. House some directly in the king’s private quarters. Put a few hundred into the white hut, while in the process.

Nothing will help more to see the error of their ways.

“The King has 16 extravagant estates across the country”

Not for long if he lets these third world roaches stay in them. They will need hazmat suits to clean them up later.
