1973 - A botched bank robbery in Stockholm resulted in a hostage situation, and, over the course of a six-day standoff, the captives formed an unlikely bond with their captor, giving rise to the term: Stockholm syndrome.

.... which eventually gave rise to the UK holding captive immigrants on the Stockholm Bibby where they formed an unlikely bond.

I think canary has joined the protected trollsketeers. he's allowed to infect my thread with BS but I am not allowed to defend, love the double standards!

Stockholm syndrome has evolved now TTT and such sufferers of a comparative mental aberration are termed remainiacs.

[Togo]

Haha. Ta TTT. Perhaps we should change the dependency tendency name to Strasbourg Syndrome.
