From age and ID restrictions on the Internet, to charging rappers with “terrorism,” the U.K. is demolishing the most basic civil liberties. If we let them, U.S. leaders may be close behind.

Sweden teaches its kids English first now. You’ll be fine.
Back in the '80s my British father would get as far as opening his mouth to use the Swedish he’d been practicing before the shopkeeper would preempt him in flawless English “How can I help you, sir?”.
My inlaws actually don’t speak any English and they’re the first adult Swedes I’ve known that don’t. Fortunately I speak Swedish fluently but it was comedically awkward for my wife’s previous British boyfriends!
You can now do secondary schools in English in Finland.
Except if you speak Finnish or Swedish as a native language.
Fucking stupid addition. Some right-wingers afraid of Finnish dying must’ve added it to the legislation but it’s beyond silly and not having it would promote integration of non-Finnish speaking immigrants with Finnish/Swedish speaking natives. And there definitely isn’t a lot of people who would prefer doing secondary school in English. Probably more from the newer generations but still a tiny minority.
