In this week's episode we talk about Sweden’s immigrant deportation centres and why reports of miserable conditions there should concern everyone in Sweden.

We also discuss the two-decades old murder in a religious sect of a pastor’s wife in a case that gripped Sweden for months at the time. 

With 2026 nearly upon us, we hear some of The Local’s readers’ predictions for what next will bring.

Finally, a Sweden Democrat youth leader argued at the weekend that Islam has no place in Sweden. Is this kind of extreme comment a harbinger of what’s to come if the far-right party gets its first ever ministerial appointments after next year’s election?

Host Paul O'Mahony is joined this week by regular panelists Richard Orange and James Savage.
