Minister of Culture Parisa Liljestrand (M) commented on today’s climate protest On the regal ship Vasaskappet by saying: « I get purely cursed at people who have taken the right to practice activism at the expense of our common cultural heritage! » I comment on her statement like this: « I get purely cursed at the government that has taken the right to exercise inactivism at the expense of our common natural heritage! » If the government finally acts actively in the climate issue, no climate activists are climbing anymore at Vaasa. It’s that simple.

Trump prohibits diversity, but gives constant examples of unlimited simplicity.

It is excellent that Trump & Co wants to clear out modern abominations as diversity. Live the simplicity!

Let us who wants and can contribute financially to the Armed Forces’ renovation! During the Second World War, Lars-Erik Larsson and Alf Henriksson wrote « bond march » to support the Swedes’ purchase of defense bonds to cover the state’s loans. Do the same now!

A hundred years ago, orphaned children were auctioned up to the lowest bidder farmers. Our elderly homes are now being sold out to profit -making subcontractors. Where is the care going?

According to EU rules, a country’s overall public debts in the state, regions and municipalities may not be higher 60 percent of the country’s gross domestic product. Currently, it looks like this among the EU members (note that the EU is breaking its own rules!):
Greece: 161.9 percent
Italy: 137.3 percent
France: 110.6 percent
Spain: 107.7 percent
Belgium: 105.2 percent
Portugal: 99.1 percent
And so on …
EU countries that essentially have not followed the debt rule: Germany, France, Cyprus, Portugal, Malta and Hungary.
EU countries that never followed the debt rule: Belgium, Greece, Italy, Austria and Croatia.
How can one justify the EU as a union when it looks like this? What do rules mean when they are not even close to being complied with?

Traffic Citizen Council Lars Strömgren (MP) want to greatly reduce street parking in Stockholm. How does he think that we, who do not live inside the customs, should be able to take part in the cultural offerings offered without the opportunity to drive? For example, if I want to go to a concert in the Berwald Hall at 19 and use municipal means of transport, I need to go at 16.34 and will be home at about 23.45! In addition, 15 minutes walk to and from the bus at the stop at home. By car it takes about an hour in each direction with parking nearby.

It is easy to complain about Postnord. What about Citymail? What the company collects shipments for several weeks before being distributed, which can create problems when payment of invoices. A little pressure from those who hire the company would be good. Admittedly, there are other ways to pay, but then Citymail would also be superfluous.

Looked a couple of days ago in DN A representative of Hammarby who said that those who are against Bengals on stands are those who do not go on football. He is absolutely right. I would very much like to see football matches in an arena, but it is impossible as I am asthmatic. Going to football is for me today associated with great physical discomfort, possibly danger to life. Heavy smoke has scared me away from football at Arena. So I’m one of all those who don’t go on football and complain about Bengals.
