I'm just surprised to learn there's a Swedish party in Finland

It's not really a party, we're not that fun

[martinuzz]

Sounds like Finland is trying to become like the Netherlands. I suppose the neoliberal (neocon in US english, in Europe we call that neoliberal) wind was delayed 30 years before reaching Finland.

idk Swedish eurovision is always a blast. Where are you hiding the Finnish party bants

[MorleyDev]

Well, Finland were the ones with the balls to put a Nu Metal band into Eurovision a few years ago. So maybe less of a party and more of a mosh pit. Of course, we all know Finland's submissions peaked in 2015.

The last one feels strangely familiar... Like the most Bri ish Finns I ever seen

The Dutch government just fell, because the main government party VVD wanted less refugees to be able to reunite with their families.
Christian Union and opposition parties then dropped the hammer. We have no more government, new elections soon.

While I will not shed a tear for getting rid of fucktard neocon Rutte, sadly, this will most likely mean that we will get a new government of 2x extreme right plus 1x rightwing farmers.
I wouldn't be surprised if the name for our next government will be FAF (Farmers against Foreigners)

God bless the Dutch!

I'm really, really hoping that the same will happen soon in Finland.

In Norway, heave rains have caused a dam over the Glåma river to break.
The dam couldn't be controlled anymore when the control room flooded.
Police considered blowing up the dam with explosives earlier, but that was deemed too dangerous. Now Mother Nature blew it up for them.
Earlier today already, thousands of people were evacuated from the area.
It is as of yet unclear how catastrophic the consequences of the dam bursting will be.

Nextdoor, in Sweden, heavy rains are also causing trouble. Gothenburg harbor is flooded for the most part.


Dayum. Slovenia, Georgia, Austria, Norway, Sweden. Europe has seen a lot of extreme flooding the past week.
Makes you wonder what would happen if the exteme rainfall were to move to Ukraine, and all the frontline rivers were to flood as badly. there'd be no more frontline I guess, and trenches wouldn't be usable anymore for months.

We've had similar rain in parts of the US. But hey, it's the US. We're so big, if Europe complains about some climate whatamathingy, we've probably got a State suffering similar weather effects.

Did they not have an overflow or something?

Did they not have an overflow or something?

The power plant on the Glåma, Norway’s longest and most voluminous river, was underwater and out of operation.
Huge volumes of water were pouring over the western parts of the concrete dam, Thomson said.

For hours, the water gathered behind the dam. Then a parking lot next to the power station was flooded, and soon water started pouring through a gap in the concrete. The water ripped apart a two-lane road and fences that ran across the top of the dam.

Lol the rain was so intense the power plant and the overflow were submerged

Hatches in the hydroelectric power plant were supposed to open automatically if too much water collected behind the dam, but they failed to work as designed, according to Alexandra Bech Gjørv, board chair at Hafslund Eco. The reasons for the failure were unknown, she said.

Technical difficulties please standby

"Overflow is cancelled, please head to the nearest river replacement service"

Dutch alt right political leader Thierry Baudet got hit on the head by an umbrella in Belgium, when giving a pro-Russia conspiracy theory speech for an extreme right student organisation.

I hope the poor umbrella is allright.

Baudet is a crazy nazi psychotic. Spreading the word about the jewish pedophile reptilian elite and dragging part of the dutch population with him in his madness. He should be put down by the anti nazi resistance, in the name of our King.

EDIT: or well, at least he should be admitted to a closed ward in a straightjacket, mouth gagged, since it's not 1945-1949 anymore
