This is only available for a few more days, and requires a UK IP to view it (sorry) : http://www.bbc.co.uk/i/b01c9w6f/?t=13m04s

But for those who can see it, what do you think?
Is this an active portrayal of sweden?

The presenter clearly states at the start of the article that Swedes pay high taxes to protect their welfare state.

But is this claim simply lost in translation when actually comparing costs to services of other European countries of similar merit?

And do you agree with many of the statements in how it is sold?
