This week we talk about a deportation order issued to an eight-year-old infant that has shocked Sweden.
In lighter news, we’ll ask why one Swedish town wants more of its inhabitants to get intimate during work hours.
For Membership+ subscribers we dig into the first figures on voluntary repatriation after the government offered a large grant to get more people who came to Sweden as refugees to leave the country.
Finally we look at the history of sportlov, Sweden’s annual spring break, and we give advice on how to make best use of the holiday.
Host Paul O'Mahony is joined this week by regular panelists Becky Waterton and Richard Orange, as well as a late cameo from Richard's children.
