In this week’s podcast: Anti-immigrant attacks in Stockholm, and how Swedish words seep into our native languages. For Membership+ subscribers: What The Local’s readers think about Swedish schools, and why the Migration Agency is refusing to accept some passports.
In this week’s episode we talk about anti-immigrant attacks in Stockholm and why a government minister won’t answer questions in parliament on how much he knew about his son’s involvement, until recently, with an extremist group alleged to be behind the attacks.
We’ll also discuss the Swedish language and how the words we use every day gradually creep into how we speak English.
For Membership+ subscribers we’ll dig into the results of a survey on readers’ opinions of Swedish schools, and finally we’ll examine why the Migration Agency is refusing to accept some passports as a valid form of ID.
Host Paul O’Mahony is joined this week by regular panelists James Savage and Richard Orange.
