Sweden has now closed its "open door" to refugees and people who purport to be refugees. The details are not clear yet but this is obviously a complete about-turn. It is an admission of a gross error of judgement on the part of the Swedish government.

It would have been well deserved. The Swedes can be too polite. There are times when it is necessary to be forthright.
