    Why? You'd complain if they did. Nobody's protesting so you should be happy. Go enjoy your weekend.

    From my reading of the article it was a perfectly reasonable decision. If they don't want to integrate into society then they shouldn't be granted citizenship and it's not as if what they were being asked to do to gain citizenship was crazy or ridiculous.

    Far too much effort. Hes in charge of keyboard counter protest. Not the initial protest.

    I love that they sit in the middle of mainland Europe, minding their own business, stinking rich with a massive military & giving everyone the middle finger.

    Not only that, but if you arrive looking for asylum they take all your money from you and if you're ever allowed work then taxi you an additional refugee tax :D

    "The constitution and equality between men and women prevails over bigotry," said Pierre-Antoine Hilbrand, who was part of the commission that interviewed the couple."

    How does a lefty wrap their head around that?
    Condemn the Swiss decision condones bigotry.
    Brilliant.

    I agree. The whole Nazi gold thing was out of order but they went way over the line with the tobelerone

    As the character Harry Lime - played by Orson Welles - said in the film 'The Third Man':
    ''Don't be so gloomy. After all it's not that awful. Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance.
    In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The Cuckoo Clock, the Swiss Army Knife, The Toblerone....oh, and a thread on Boards.ie.''

    The thing is, they didn't spend years inside the EU in the first place.

    In any case, this is completely the right decision. The Swiss have some good values and it is a brilliant country. They don't expect you to become a fully fledged, cheese making yodeller ffs.

    Why don't you do it yourself if you're that bothered?

    People get denied citizenship all over the world from all different countries and by various different countries on a regular basis. What's so specific about this case you want people to protest?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.
