I have made a principled decision not to bite the constant rage bait that is Swedish politics but they definitely don't make it easy.

I vår kommer jag (tillsammans med min vän Olle Linge) äntligen släppa vårt berättarspel "Nostalgia" där man skryter om sina forna stordåd. Det har varit en lång resa, men jisses vad bra det känns att vara på upploppet! :D
