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!!!

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 all still up in the air really, and will be negotiated in the following months/years.

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.

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.

The Dutch later explained that the queues were due to training new border personnel, and that it was unrelated to Brexit

Yeah I know that line, you can even see the union jack hastily added to the EU and swiss flags that were there before.

We'll know when the second wave hits in the fall/winter. Then we'll also hopefully have a lot of trials ready to go for therapeutics and other things, because the ones that are running now are fighting over subjects. One small downside of having flattened the curve I suppose.

Ah, so the same as in the Netherlands then, the country that celebrated its "Golden Century" above everything else and where racism doesn't exist.

also don't forget that the Dutch king has a literal golden carriage with proud descriptions of slavery on it that he gets to ride in public once a year and that's all fine.

You'll get no argument from me there.

It's rather fascinating how uninformed the British electorate really is, and how some misty eyed nostalgia for reclaiming the greatness of a period that none of them have lived through (the war) informs their decisions. I suppose living in the past reminiscing about some great empire they were never a part of gives some comfort while waiting to die in a dimly lit hallway of a severely underfunded hospital in a town devastated by unemployment caused by the loss of manufacturing jobs that went overseas in the Thatcher era.

It's the downside of being earnest and sincere.

The expectation is people generally don't want to be disliked. When you get broken people like pissflaps it goes to poo poo because he was some kind of negative-attention demon. An unstoppable force that wanted people to figuratively and literally throw him down a piss well.

Then it turned out he was a genuine transphobe and it was less funny.

You only need to cross-reference the UKMT with the football subforum to know which ones are horrible racists. Like pissflaps.
