  • 80 percent of the electricity subsidy paid out by the weekend

    Close to 80 percent of the electricity subsidy will have been paid out during the week, writes Försäkringskassan in a press release.

    At the same time, the authority warns of fraudsters.

  • Swedish Dictionary reviews the word “snippa”

    The Swedish Dictionary revises its definition of the word “snip” after a man was acquitted of raping a ten-year-old child in the Court of Appeal, reports Echo.

    – We are against the dictionary being used in contexts like this, says editor-in-chief Emma Sköldberg.

    Aftonbladet was able to reveal the case last week and afterwards the reactions have been great. The man was first convicted in the district court, but the Court of Appeal made a different assessment and thus acquitted the man.

    The Court of Appeal considered that it was proven that the man stuck a finger in a ten-year-old girl’s neck, but four legal judges stuck to the meaning of “the word neck”.

  • You write that 13.6 million has been paid out to 3.3 million people in Elstöd.. Sounds unreasonably little.

    Hey Freddy! You are absolutely right about that. Sorry for the confusion!

  • Why raise the proposal for a possible driver’s license for an A-tractor? If it is decided, it will take several years before it comes into force. Talk about it in like 5 years, nothing will happen in the next few years, it will be dealt with in the EU countries.

    Kerstin Franzén

    Hi Kerstin! Although it may be some time before the proposal becomes a reality, it is reasonable to report that it is on the table. The question of A-tractors engages many people, so suggestions in the area we consider to be of interest to our readers.

  • Read about the problem of access to vegetables in England. Have UK imports and exports changed significantly due to Brexit?

    Elin

    Hi Elin!

    The Guardian has previously reported that exports to the EU decreased by 14 percent after Brexit.

    In the case of the availability of vegetables, several British media reports that Brexit seems to have a rather small impact. The main reasons are believed to be problems linked to supplies and the somewhat isolated location of the UK. As well as the high electricity prices that affect domestic production.
