SJ’s train tickets are delayed
During the night to Wednesday, SJ will release tickets for spring train journeys, writes TT.
But the Swedish Transport Administration is not yet finished with its planning of the track work – this causes delays in the ticket release for Easter and the Ascension.
The last time the Christmas holidays were released in November, not many customers entered the site due to high pressure.
– Now we have a queuing system that only allows a certain number of customers to be let through to the site. You get a queue number which you keep until the purchase is made. Then we know that the load is always at its highest during the Christmas holidays and it will be lower now, says SJ’s press manager Tobbe Lundell.

Poland asks permission to send German tanks
Poland is to ask Germany for permission to send the German Leopard 2 tank model to Ukraine.
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki says so according to the news agency AP. He also says that he will gather a group of countries that will send the tanks together.
– Even if in the end we do not get this permission, we will – within this small coalition – and Germany is not in that coalition, hand over our tanks, together, to Ukraine.
Poland has long wanted to send the tanks to Ukraine, but Germany has not wanted to approve it. Yesterday, the country’s foreign minister, Annalena Baerbock, said that it will be allowed.
She then told French television that the question had not been put to Germany, but that they would not stand in the way if they received it.

Hi Lina, Do you think we would have reacted the same if it was a Bible that Paludan burned?
Per
Don’t know Peter. So probably don’t think anything special about it.
But if that happens, we will report on any reactions ?
Hi, I know you can’t deny Rasmus Pauldan burning the Koran, but you can’t deny him protection now that there’s such a shortage of police officers. We have to put a stop to the Danish pig.

Joakim Nergelius, professor of jurisprudence, explains how it works in this article.
Oisín Cantwell pondered the question in this column last spring.
Peter Kadhammar has also written about it, here you can read how he reasoned.
Why not just totally ignore Paludan when he burns the Koran!? After all, every individual who worldwide gets upset every time the Koran is burned makes themselves Paludan’s useful idiots. He thus gets exactly the attention he desires, plus a little more.
