  • I disagree with the police that financial crime is the biggest threat! Of course, it is all criminals who are allowed to run around and shoot and knife anyone. If the police don’t catch these criminals and lock them up and send them home, a civic guard will soon have to work by themselves to prevent Sweden from becoming a war zone.

    Hey Magnus! I think it’s hard to completely disengage. The gang makes a living from drugs and receives money that then has to be laundered through operations. Here you can read more in the press release that the police sent out.

  • In the latest news about Zimbabwe, the word draconian is used. What does it mean for a proposal to be considered draconian?

    Helena

    Hi Helena! A good question. It means “inhumanly severe”. The term comes from Drakon who was a lawgiver in Athens 600 years before Christ who imposed severe punishments during his time in power.
