I know, but this one looked so good, so luxuriously packed, and it was so terrible. It completely put me off. I can well believe that, those bagels were, I don't want to be unkind, but they were really really bad. The butter, again, I have to say the French and Danish options are better.

Or very good at lying.

I had a terrible experience with Australian products, I'm sorry to say. Apart from the beef which is excellent. But I tried an Australian chicken pie. Cole's bagels. And I don't know how such inferior products get sold there. It was terrible. I will stick with the English product, I can't even buy Australian bagels.

You're completely wrong. All that happened was that Trump removed some tax incentives for EVs which upset Tesla owner Musk. Trump also did not support Musk's proposal for new NASA chief. Purely self interested reasons why he doesn't like the bill. The bill is actually a good first step to cut government spending.

So you don't need to. But Lebanese who migrate to Australia need to. Sounds fair and reasonable . And not at all ironic.

So you follow the local way of life in Thailand, Buddhism, learn Thai and all that? Pad Krapao for breakfast?

You're complaining about immigrants in Australia who don't adopt the local way of life, so you emigrate to Thailand. It's quite ironic.

You do realise the irony of this statement?

An up to date window into the UK Gypsy family prepares a pig in the middle of the street in Liverpool England.

His party has been in power for almost two years. It's done nothing. Still the same number of Moroccans and Arabs. Trump has deported more in two months than Wilders' party in two years.

At least according to the study's authors, Dr Shlomo Goldstein and Dr Yoav Shlaim. How could a circumcised man every provide more sexual pleasure than me? Don't be ridiculous.

It's a small step from attacking people in this way, provoking people and then to stab them, drive a car into a christmas market. These people are clearly sociopathatic.

He looks ludicrous. Like he belongs in a cartoon.

True. And most of them are Muslims. So much for Wilders' hatred of Islam. So it's not Islam. It's the Semitic people and their cultural violence. Not the religion.

Absolutely correct, after Euromaidan Ukraine entered into a formal partnership with the CIA. They supplied the CIA with intel on Russia. It is inconceivable that Ukraine would not have had CIA assistance in the recent drone attack.. Of course they and the US have to deny it at the moment. If you believe that you 'll believe anything.

Lol, a 2 year old can see what Wilders stands for: hatred. The Theo van Gogh/Julius Streicher kind of hatred. But not righteous, justified hatred. Hatred of a religion, no less. How idiotic do you have to be to hate a religion?: But of course Wilders only hates Islam because he's too cowardly to say what he really hates, Arabs and Moroccans.. Because it's not politically acceptable he cloaks his hatred in the more pretentious hatred of religion. Never mind that the largest Muslim contingent in Holland, the Indonesians, have been living in harmony with the dutch for eight decades And he has the gall to invoke "Humanism" and "Christianity". Erasmus and Jesus would turn in their grave if they could see this obese Marilyn Monroe wannabe vomiting his hate, this great defender of humanism and Christianity,lol.. He's a fraud. He pretends to hate religion, but he has no clue about Islam. He pretends to hate Islam, when he really hates Moroccans and Arabs. Even his hair is a fraud. Like Ayaan Hirsi Ali, his friend with no benefits, Wilders stands for fraud. His party has been in power for a while. What did he accomplish? Less arabs? Less Moroccans? No. He's all blah, blah, blah. Trump deported more migrants in 2 months than Wilders' party did in almost 2 years. He also stands for bending the knee before Israel which he dearly "loves" to this day. And he stands for arrest without trial, which he saw in Israel and also quite likes. Good luck Holland.

Exactly. So why does this idiot Wilders claim it's all of Islam that's the issue? If muslim Indonesians lived for decades peacefully with the dutch? Doesn't make sense, does it? Hirsi Ali is a massive fraud and liar. Nobody reads her books anymore. Nobody listens to her anymore. She's been exposed as the fraud and liar she is. So there's no reason to be obsessed with her. You asked what the problem with this lying b*** is and I answered. Wilders support for her shows he's just dumb, he has poor judgement. Who could support a fraud like Hirsi Ali but an idiot?

No, what they meant was if fourth generation and more are included. Obviously nobody went around taking blood samples, it's just a figure of speech. They meant the total number of Indonesians in Holland, including the first arrivals. Which is the right way to do it. The total number of Indonesians in Holland is 1.5 to 2 mllion, it's just most of them have a dutch passport by now. According to Wilders theory, almost all of them Muslim misfits for Dutch society. So how did they live for decades harmoniously with the dutch, if Islam is such poison for Dutch society? What this idiot Wilders doesn't get is that it's not Islam that's the problem. As the decades of peaceful cohabitation with the largest Muslim contingent in Holland proves. Rather it is the Semitic peoples of the Middle East and their culturally created propensity for violence that is the issue. But Wilders makes it easy for everyone, it's all of Islam. So why did the Indonesian muslims live peacefully with the Dutch for decades?

Yes, that's the drawback with acupuncture, it does provide relief, but it is temporary.

So you got another trustworthy Thai woman, lol. How small was she? Nice the police were so cool. Not at all, these were non-professional Filipinas. One of them is coming here on 10th July.

Trump is not a true right winger. He does support Israel like a Zionist. Being a true right winger in the European tradition and being a Zionist are not compatible. If you support Israel you're not a rightwinger to me. I know Trump gets called a fascist and a Nazi, but he's clearly not. A true right winger would never support Israel. These people who claim to be right wing but support Israel are pseudo-right wing. They're not the real McCoy.

No sorry, your Worldatlas got it wrong. They're only counting Indonesians with an Indonesian passport. However, if you include those of Indonesian descent with a Dutch passport you get to 1.5 to 2 million Indonesians. "Dr. Peter Post of the NIOD estimates 1.5 to 2 million people with Indo blood live in the Netherlands. The Indo-Dutch living abroad were not included. That makes them by far the largest minority community in the Netherlands." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo_people

I don't have the kind of problems with women you mean and the reason I don't like Ayaan Hirsi Ali is that she is a total fraud and a liar. A documented liar at that. Even her name, Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a fraud. It's not her name. "In May 2006, the TV programme Zembla reported that Hirsi Ali had given false information about her name, her age, and her country of residence when originally applying for asylum, in a documentary called "The Holy Ayaan"" "In her asylum application, she had claimed to be fleeing a forced marriage, but the Zembla coverage featured interviews with her family, who denied that claim. " She is a complete, f*****g liar. A total fraud. "The program alleged that, contrary to Hirsi Ali's claims of having fled a Somali war zone, the MP had been living comfortably in upper middle-class conditions safely in Kenya with her family for at least 12 years before she sought refugee status in the Netherlands in 1992. In her version of events, she had fled civil war in Somalia, was forced into an arranged marriage with a man whom she had never met and was not present at her own wedding. Upon escaping she was forced into hiding in the Netherlands, for her ex-husband and father's brothers would have been by Somali custom, required to perform an honor killing. According to witnesses on the programme, she left Somalia prior to any mass violence and led a comfortable, upper-middle class life in neighboring Kenya" Hirsi Ali had already admitted to friends and VVD party colleagues that she had lied about her full name, date of birth, and the manner in which she had come to the Netherlands in her asylum application, but persisted in saying it was true that she was trying to flee a forced marriage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayaan_Hirsi_Ali Her autobiographies are full of lies, inconsistencies and dripping with hate and falsehoods. Not only is Hirsi Ali (not her real name) a complete fraud and liar, she also participated with Theo van Gogh in making the vile trash "Submission". For those who have not seen it, this "film" is akin to Streicher's Der Stuermer, basically hate propaganda showing semi-naked women being abused while citing verses of the Koran. Without a doubt one of the most vile and digusting films ever made, born of hatred and ignorance. To cap it all she is an imperialist feminist radical, who wants to impose her radical feminism on the whole world, claiming to be an ethnic authentic voice, whe she was always raised in a comfortable western way. A bigger fraud and liar than Ayaan Hirsi Ali is hard to imagine. Not only does Wilders championing of her show he has no judgement, but the fact that she retained dutch citizenship, after it was established that she lied with total abandon on her application and she admitted this, shows that the Netherlands ignores its own laws. The only reason she was able to retain her dutch passport was because she was at the time part of the dutch political class herself and in parliament and her political colleagues ensured the laws would not apply to her. Political nepotism if you will. Any other person who had been discovered lying on her asylum application the way Hirsi Ali did would have lost her passport. Her political friends, alas ensured, she could keep all her privileges, despite the fact she was a fraud and a liar. Neeldess to say her embarassment was such that she had to flee the Netherlands and emigrated to the US. Incidentally, she proves not only Wilder's poor judgement, but also Niall Ferguson's, the idiot married the lying hound. Nothing wrong with it. But given his cartoonish and pathological muslim hatred, only topped by his fellow muslim hater Ayaan Hirsi Ali, don't you think it's odd he's not called for the huge muslim Indonesian contingent in Holland to be expelled?

Always very informative posts, keep up the good work. I remember in 1995 there were so many beggars in a seaside town in Kent I was genuinely shocked. This has always been a problem in England. Things have got a lot worse now, when I was in Harlow I genuinely felt like in a dystopian Hollywood film. It was horrific. Good to read that the north of England is still salt of the earth. We'll just have to get crumpets sent to Thailand.

I suppose you wouldn't if you've worked in banks for 32 years.. You're right to call me out on that statement regarding every American owning his share of the reward for his part of the GDP he created. Strictly speaking that's true, as America no longer operates slavery and people are paid for the work they do. However, it is of course an imperfect system, meaning that the worker does not get the true value of what he created, only that fraction which his employer is compelled to give him. It has long been known that the American dream is dead, in the sense of upward social mobility is extremely rigid in the US, to put it mildly. The story of the dishwasher who makes a billion, it does happen, but it is a minute execption. Most people will not enjoy the social mobility which the American dream promises. This is quite true. My concern is how far this gap will continue to widen. It is clearly morally unjust. But closing it presents a myriad of real problems. Nobody wants a redistribution society like in Germany or Scandinavia. But then the gaping wealth of the undeserved is also not wanted. The fine middle ground here is hard to establish.
