In the Nethetlands there's nothing left apart from tulips and wooden shoes. The sensible decisions for big business is to come to the UK .

Personally I don't give a toss how you fund Italy and Spain I just can't wait for you to surrender to Germany. It will be like history repeating itself only this time you resisted for more than a day
You're forgetting the wacky backy shops and cafés, Bread, so they can "dream" about what was once theirs in the grand scheme that is the failing EU.

Personally I've never been to Amsterdam but for the rest of the world its where you can go to do stuff that's illegal everywhere else.

In the UK we have museums, the Royal family, the arts, history etc. Quite different really although we are very good at cycling

Museums filled with objects you stole while oppressing other countries. Remember the elgin marbles?

Since your royals and ours are related, I won't comment on them.

Re: Another Dutch Warning Shot to Rutte

I don't suppose that Dutch museums' contents were obtained innocently, were they?
