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.&nbsp;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&nbsp;and James Savage.____<h2>Black Friday sale</h2>Here's the <a href="https://www.thelocal.se/membership-offer?tpcc=black-friday-podcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Black Friday deal</a> mentioned in the introduction.&nbsp;____And here are links to some of the topics discussed in the episode:<h2>Detained in Sweden</h2><ul><li><a href="https://www.thelocal.se/20251120/swedish-migration-detention-centres-slammed-for-causing-unnecessary-suffering?tpcc=podcast-article" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Swedish migration detention centres slammed for causing 'unnecessary suffering'</a></li><li><a href="https://www.thelocal.se/20251122/inside-sweden-why-the-state-of-swedens-detention-centres-matters-to-us-all?tpcc=podcast-article" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Why the state of Sweden's detention centres matters for all of us</a></li><li><a href="https://www.thelocal.se/20251126/poor-training-at-swedish-deportation-centres-risks-improper-treatment?tpcc=podcast-article" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">'Poor training at Swedish deportation centres risks improper treatment'</a></li><li><a href="https://www.thelocal.se/20251120/swedish-migration-detention-centre-worse-than-guantanamo?tpcc=podcast-article" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Swedish migration detention centre 'a prison in every way'</a></li></ul><h2>Knutby</h2><ul><li>ARCHIVE: <a href="https://www.thelocal.se/20190515/how-a-small-swedish-town-ended-up-at-the-centre-of-a-sect-murder?tpcc=podcast-article" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Why a Swedish town notorious for murder is back in the spotlight</a></li></ul><h2>Sweden in 2026</h2><ul><li><a href="https://www.thelocal.se/20251121/tell-us-what-are-your-predictions-for-life-in-sweden-in-2026?tpcc=podcast-article" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TELL US: What are your predictions for life in Sweden in 2026?</a></li></ul><h2>Sweden Democrats&nbsp;</h2><ul><li><a href="https://www.thelocal.se/20251124/today-in-sweden-a-roundup-of-the-latest-news-on-monday-220?tpcc=podcast-article" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Leader of Sweden Democrat youth group: 'Islam has no place in Sweden'</a></li><li><a href="https://www.thelocal.se/20251031/sweden-democrat-youth-wing-leader-calls-for-us-style-ice-police-force?tpcc=podcast-article" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sweden Democrat youth wing leader calls for US-style 'ICE' police force</a></li></ul> Become a member at <a target="_blank" rel="payment" href="https://www.thelocal.se/podcasts/podcast-offer?tpcc=padlock">https://www.thelocal.se/podcasts/podcast-offer?tpcc=padlock</a>.
