23 percent increase in the number of homeless Danes

A recent report shows that the number of Danes who have lost their homes have incresed by 23 percent. It explains that number of people I found sleeping in parks when I visited Copenhagen the last time.

They are not belonging to a group of people who is plastered all over both international media and even Danish media. They are not getting the attention down in the European Union.

They will have to stay homeless and sleep outside risking death every winter depending of how tough it is. Homeless shelters are few and poorly supervised so they can get robbed if they sleep inside. Outside they also risk being center of assault by rich Danes who don't like that they choose their neighborhood to sleep in.

It is not a very fun life to live.

Maybe they should migrate to Sweden and ask for asylum. It seems that it the only way to get help these days. I do of course realize that it is not fun to live in a country with a civil war going on. But do die due to the cold is not a fun destiny either.

The authorities claim that they cannot help the homeless people because there are no cheap housing available which is a lie. There are plenty of empty cheap houses in large part of Denmark but Danes cannot move freely if they are among the poor homeless people. They are tied to their case worker and other towns where housing are cheap don't want them as taxpaying citizens even if they manage to turn their lives around because the risk could also be that they end up of some kind of disability benefit and that kind of gamble they are not willing to take.

So people can come from countries thousand of miles from Denmark and get a cheap simple heated room to live in while Danes who had parents paying taxes for a full life, gets nothing.

Understand if you can. I cannot.

Get tough on crime scam in Denmark

So now people can get parole when they have served two months of their sentence. That is the cost because our parliament wanted to send a message to people considering to make home invasions their line of business.

So we would have people serving 3-5 years for this specific crime - a horrible crime but what kind of crime isn't?

It is the wrong message to send criminals. "We would punish your hard but we will let you out early"

People will lose respect for our laws. Look at California. People who are sentenced to 180 days end up serving 18 days in jail or 30-40 days in home confinement, because the jails is overbooked. Isn't that a joke?

Take a person like the former mayor Brixtofte. Some people claimed that he broke the law. However until the court in his case decided that politicians could eat for DKK 1,000 per meal, there was no limit. Now all politicians struggle to eat for just under this limit. He got two years in jail and he wasn't granted a parole despite the fact that the only gain he got was the expensive meals. All the other good things he did for the citizens in his town are forgotten.

Maybe his sentence should have been tough - I don't know, I don't care because the lesson I learned from his case was not to be involved in local politics. It is a dirty business where you are back-stabbed if you are not alert 24/7.

I believe that we as voters are lied to by the politicians over in Copenhagen. Letting people out of jail early without anyone thinking about what they should do will result in more crime. While I feel for the victims of home invasions and I support strict border controls because such crime is done by so-called tourists, I just don't get what people convicted off assault should be let out before time.

Please explain me why I should believe that the politicians are not trying to fool us?
