Hooray! It's about time we had some of that attitude in Britain
An almost identical parallel to Dopey David Cameron and Nigel Farage!
EDIT: Sorry Judd (#14). Just seen your post!

They do not criticise or protest about Muslims and immigrants, or just pay lip service to it, as any such issues are 'part of their culture' and thus above criticism.

Re: Respect our customs
Mark Rutte is busy with damage limitation.He is desperate to win the popular vote, The Dutch people go to the polls on 15 March and he would love another term in office.
However, the Dutch have seen wage freezes and an influx of refugees some causing big problems with the legal system backed up for years in deportation cases.
Some areas ranked among the poorest in the country are seeing refugees being housed before their own people and that is causing a swing toward the PVV (Gert Wilders).
This law of housing priority is set to change in April not in time for the election..
The biggest problem in my view is that the Dutch have been so hospitable and easy going believing that everyone should have the right to their own views and religions, and having a very generous social system that some people have thought they read the word *Doormat* on the foreheads of their Dutch hosts and behaved badly leading to major distrust and some outright hatred.
I wouldnt like to say which way the election will go especially with the recent changes in leadership of the labour party PVDA ...
Time for popcorn!

This, of course, is the situation across much of Europe now and, hopefully, could lead to the destruction of the EU.
Well done Murky.

If they don't like how we do things, instead of bleating / moaning / demonstrating etc - just sod off somewhere else...

But there's never been a process for helping people do that in the UK hence all the problems.

Unfortunately, the case in this country is often
our country; their rules!
