Some great lines in the article but this is personal favourite - "For this year we've come up with what we think is a genius move to protect the goat. At least it will be a genius idea if the goat is still standing on December 29th."  ;D

I take that back. Maybe it's the foreigners who are mad.

Quote "Sweden's politicians will fuel further segregation and the rise of the nationalist Sweden Democrats if they refuse to develop a new language on immigration, argues Mohammed Amin Kharraki, a teacher and spokesperson for Sweden's Islamic Association."

"By 4am, when the fire was finally extinguished, the goat had been completely destroyed.

The goat, which has nearly 9,000 followers on Twitter, issued a farewell Tweet on Sunday morning. "
