    Being ignorant of the law doesn’t work in any jurisdiction.

        She’s wealthy and connected enough to have known better.

        Also throwing names is childish.

          But campaigners at Brits in Sweden say countless British citizens were either given no information or incorrect information about what to do after Brexit by the authorities.

            So? Do you always get actively informed when laws change? Brexit was hardly stealthy.

            This is the British governments fault primarily. It was the British government’s responsibility to take care of their citizens and negotiate something.

            The remainder lies with the just ousted right wing Swedish government

            We do not single out groups of people in Europe, last time we did that it ended up bad. Thats why they can’t.

            “White people forget to check their privileges” is clearly a less sensational headline

        Where’s the “tankie” angle to this?

          Because I am technically also arguing in support of authoritarian states. But I’m actually arguing against well off people who whine at their first inconvenience they caused themselves.
