This Is What Happened in 2003 When Sweden Was Voting on Whether to Adopt the Euro

As a follow up to my post, Hmmm, Brexit Campaigning Suspended For Second Day, Referendum Vote "In Limbo,"  which detailed the murder of pro-EU British Parliament member Jo Cox at a point when polls showed Brexit in the lead , Louis Cammarosano of  Smaulgld  emails:
 I was reminded of this:

In 2003  Anna Lindh pro EU Swedish foreign minister was stabbed and killed just days before Sweden was set to vote on adoptung the euro

After she died, they cancelled campaigning "out of respect".

Here's CNBC on the "similarities":
 The fatal attack on a pro-European British lawmaker just a week ahead of the key Brexit referendum vote has shaken politicians and voters across the U.K.

While this is the first time in nearly a quarter of a century that a U.K. politician has been murdered, the case bears startling similarities to the assassination 13 years ago in Sweden of pro-EU Anna Lindh.

Days before Sweden would vote on whether to join the euro in 2003, a 46-year-old lead campaigner for Sweden's to adopt the euro was stabbed while shopping in a Stockholm department store. She had been shopping for clothes for a euro zone debate scheduled that evening. The next day, on September 11, Social Democratic foreign minister Lindh died from her injuries.

Both sides of the Swedish political campaign suspended their activities following the news, with TV ads campaigns cancelled and billboard and print media ads withdrawn.

On the following Sunday, Swedes rejected proposals to adopt the common currency.

Back in Britain, the death of Labour member of parliament (MP) Jo Cox has set a similarly solemn tone around the otherwise raucous Brexit debate.

The 41-year-old was shot in the small town of Birstall in the north of England while on her way to meet with constituents in a nearby library Thursday afternoon.

The attack on Lindh was carried out by "lone nut" Mijailo Mijailovic who claimed he hated politicians and was high on the hypnotic drug Flunitrazepam.

British police arrested  52-year-old "lone nut" Tommy Mair for the attack on Cox.

  1. Somewhere out there, another "lone nut" obtains a controversially modified firearm and "Make America Great Again" t-shirt.

  2. I've not read any articles delving into how Mair obtained the firearm.
    (Then again, why should one believe any such article...)

    I know from professional business relationships in my past that in Britain, and for many decades, obtaining or owning a personal firearm has been very difficult (Extremely difficult may be better used here).

    Yet this person with an alleged history of mental illness had one available.

    Oh, "Lone nut"?

    1. He made it. From instructions in a neo-nazi book. Can we stop the conspiracy theories already?

    2. Yes anything with theory in it is questionable in my view like evolution theory, global warming theory. I assume you also take that view seeing that conspiracy is derived from the verb to conspire (plot)in which case we all know that our great and good never plot or conspire to do anything questionable. Of course not. It's all just conspiracy theory lol! Another glass of kool-aid please and back to watching the idiot box in the corner.

    6. Hugo I am sick of hearing people say disparagingly that something is a conspiracy theory. Only a half asleep, ill-informed fool would not accept that there have been many conspiracies foisted on the world over the years. The information is in the public domain - usually retrospectively. What is wrong with a theory especially if there is enough actual and/or circumstantial evidence to make it plausible

    7. Well Unknown, maybe there have been some conspiracies, you didn't name any so we can't debate them, but calling this a conspiracy doesn't mean it was as there is no evidence, all you have is two vaguely similar events happening years apart. So in what way am I ill informed? Do you have information that nobody else does?

      Seems to me that refusing to accept ideas simply because somebody outside the mainstream thought of it doesn't make one brainwashed. Just open to the possibility that I might be being misled by paranoid persons unknown.

    8. DID she die, actually? It seemed very strange to have a funeral the very next day - that is most unusual in England. Nobody saw any blood on that pavement, and the man who is supposed to have said that he heard shouts of "Britain first" and "No Brixit" and such, has apparently put a notice in his window to say that he heard no such thing!

  4. If only the average citizen had the luck enjoyed by the powers that be, we would all buy lottery tickets and be rich beyond avarice. Such fortuitousness is uncanny, almost false flag like.
