Hoe 'remigratie' mainstream wordt in de Nederlanse politiek

PVV, FvD, BBB, JA21 en BVNL pleiten voor ‘remigratie’, volgens inlichtingendiensten een ‘eufemisme voor deportatie’

And even the tech podcasts are warning about the risks to society - even aside from the financials. It’s very « the food is terrible, and such small portions! »

AI driving fascism in NL (this story, for non-Dutch speakers, is about far right politicians sharing fake AI fake images of pretty blondes being harassed by migrants).

De Groene Amsterdammer @groene.nl · 15h

Op sociale media delen PVV-fanaccounts levensechte AI-beelden, veelal van knappe, blonde vrouwen die worden bedreigd door migranten. Deze pagina’s blijken te worden beheerd door minstens twee PVV-Kamerleden.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you’re under absolutely no obligation to justify yourself to anyone if you choose to spend the entire weekend drinking tea, reading books, and eating a scandalous amount of cinnamon rolls.

On a Eurostar stuck just north of CDG airport, after a train in front struck a wild boar (or, according to the train manager's Dutch/English dictionary, a warthog).

Perhaps a warthog having a very bad day - take one wrong turn at Bulawayo and end up under the wheels of the 2015 Paris - Brussels.

It was one of my favourites to read to the kids when they were younger. We’ve also bought it for kids of friends and relatives. That and the Nixon hand gesture. @dzyrl.bsky.social

No, it's not. It's all a lie. The blunt truth is across the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them.

Iain Mansfield @igmansfield.bsky.social · 3d

Outstanding piece by Stephen Daisley.

Ethnicity is no barrier to Britishness - it's culture and integration.

That means 'smaller cohorts and aggressive integration policies' - and tackling the institutions that 'have amplified grievance narratives and radical anti-Western ideologies'.

“We moeten besparen. België geeft te veel uit. Vooral aan sociale bescherming en zorg. Nieuwe belastingen? Kan niet. We zijn al belastingkampioen! En die raken enkel de middenklasse & schaden de economie.”

Listening to a radio story about a Belgian trade mission to the US which is buying US defence materiel and securing a big investment by Amazon in Belgium “which will support Belgian small business” - genuinely not sure which is the more strategically short-sighted.
