I've heard the stories about social unrest and problems with immigration and the like, but my Swedish partner and I think this place could be good for us. Has anyone got any experience of what it's actually like to live in Malmö? Also how many hoops do i have to jump through to get my own business started up in Sweden?

No idea about Malmö. 'They' say that Sweden has the best environment in Europe for entrepreneurialism. I'm not sure how they wangled that one but maybe it is. It seems a lot easier in the UK. You can get some money to help you start it up - like dole money over a 6 month period. It depends what you do. Britain seems much more small business, nation of shopkeepers etc. Lots of people live in managed flats so living space maintenance is centralised. Lots of people make money through the money that swooshes round from tax to ngo to tax to ngo...etc. So you need to know people to get in on that gig. If you are coming from the UK having run a business you might end up pulling your hair out with the speed at which things progress.
