hard to believe that a dutchman could wildly overvalue something but here we are, w oliwan acting like anyone cares about their goofy language also difficult to imagine anyone dutch trying to set up shop somewhere they arent wanted or liked, but theres oliwan again, here itt (in this thread) and who could ever believe that anyone dutch would act like someones worth and fate were already set when they were born, unalterable thence—but heres oliwan, treating someone like poo poo for being an immigrant!!!

the "wildly overvaluing stuff" was a reference to tulipmania I believe There was some new IndyWales data the other day, and compared to one or two years ago the numbers are still shockingly high: https://twitter.com/roger_scully/status/1224610730525196288?s=20

Isn't Wales like 50% English OAPs? For it to remain that high then is a lol.

KLM didn't put my bag on the plane in AMS despite the connecting flight being somehow 40 minutes delayed. When I tried to exercise my rights under EU law to be reimbursed for a change of clothes for the day for me and my gf, it was 2 days of dealing with customer service people who lied, and websites that couldn't comprehend that a receipt photo in 2020 might be larger than 3 MB or that foreigners might not have a EU bank account number. Once they realized I was a filthy American they kicked it over to Delta who had a check in my mailbox in like a week. As this boring story of a personal grudge against a corporation demonstrates, The Netherlands must be allowed to sink back into the sea. q.e.d

otoh my gf who is a Turkish national says that of the Schengen countries the Netherlands consulate in NYC is the nicest and easiest to get tourist visa from, and they even let her stop by at lunch once without an appointment to double check some visa things. So I dunno maybe flip a coin I guess?

In summary, The Netherlands is a land of contrasts. If anyone cares to discuss the low countries in English we can make a thread for that but please let's try to give the brits back their thread, they're going through a lot right now

TBH, reading about the Swamp Germans is much better than the politics in the UK, a depressing hellhole somehow managing to be even more racist and bad than usual. On top of that, with Scottish independence polling at the highest point since the indyref in 2014 the former leader of the SNP will be on trial for some sort of sexual assault charge which many members think could also bring down Nicola Sturgeon. And now on top of that the SNP Finance Minister, favourite to replace Sturgeon as leader if she goes this year, has been accused by The Sun of posting really horny DMs to a 16 year old. Despite being warned he was 16. Which leaves the next major SNP leadership candidate as Johanna Cherry, one of the most vocal TERF politicians in the entire rotten UK. Awful country

the FT has finally answered what Brexit meansquote:So, when Sajid Javid, chancellor, tells companies they will need to “adjust” because “we will not be a rule taker”, this is perfectly consistent with saying a few days later the UK will not change regulations “for the sake of divergence”. It might seem odd for government to add cost and inefficiencies for no policy purpose, but we need to recognise this is the real meaning of Brexit.

If I can derail Dutch chat for a British question : How much is brexit going to effect the average pom? Will they need passports to go yo Europe? Any tax/income drop that's likely? Will they be able to buy baguettes and soft cheese?

This is the Dutch thread now, if you want to ask questions about Brexit do that in a separate thread where you don't have to conform to EU standards. This is now the thread to hang our heads at how dumb it is that the country that had its image of relative tolerance completely shattered by a stupid idiot with a ridiculous hairdo and a pretend intellectual.

Outrail posted:Will they need passports to go yo Europe? Yes. UK passports might not work without special paperwork where you declare "I'm not crazy" to the EU. It'll take six weeks to process and they'll probably check your social media. Irish passports will continue to work as normal. Not a joke, unlike every other answer I'm about to give. Outrail posted:Any tax/income drop that's likely? Well given you're looking at losing £10 000 per person per year at least resulting from this, it does seem likely you'll be worse off unless the British rich choose to protect the British public. Outrail posted:Will they be able to buy baguettes and soft cheese? No and no. The people voted for pain, yes, but you also chose to stop doing business in French. Cheese is right out. twoday posted:In summary, The Netherlands is a land of contrasts. If anyone cares to discuss the low countries in English we can make a thread for that but please let's try to give the brits back their thread, they're going through a lot right now The EU recommendation that entities not bound by EU trading rules continue to treat Britain as a part of the EU is just that - a recommendation. There's no law that says we should accommodate their peculiarities anymore. If they wanted to have a say, they should be part of a trade union that guarantees them that say.

Dance Officer posted:We're Dutch, nobody cares about our politics. I care about Dutch politics What if we trade Geert and Thierry (The great modern day right-wing thinkers our country has produced) for NI, Scotland and Wales and the remainers/left wing of England? I'd even be alright with just basically trading every right wing person in Europe for the left wing of the U.K. That way they can all be racist on an island and eat eachother as capitalism intended and we can have actual progress maybe?

Imo the image was just that, an image. The racism and xenofobia has always been there. Also, tolerance is not acceptance, which seems obvious but imo if you're only tolerant and not accepting, there can never be true integration.
