Xenophobic and sexed up Holland?


This is the Dutch news that made it into South-African media since I'm here (excluding the stuff about soccer and the World Championship in Germany)

- Open house in the red light district. Prostitutes in Holland opened their windows for the interested public and gave free lap dances. (Cape Times)
- The biggest political party in Rotterdam wants Dutch to be the only language spoken in the city. This mostly to discourage immigrants to talk in their native tongue (Afrikaans news)
- Famous MP and moslim critic Ayaan Hirsi Ali will loose the Dutch nationality and be expelled from parliament, because she lied about her background when she entered the country after fleeing from Somalia. She will leave Holland and go to the United States. (Cape Times)
- Pedophiles launch political party. Pedophiles in the Netherlands are starting a political party to campaign for lowering the legal age for sex from 16 to 12 and to legalise child pornography and sex with animals (Cape Times)
- Dutch nurse encouraged HIV positive daughter of MP to diet on garlic, olive oil and onion instead of getting ARV medicine. The woman died. Critics say that with ARV she would have lived years longer (A weekend paper, forgot which one)

What kind of image will South Africans have of Dutch people?


(NB: Although I tried supply a complete list, I am not stating it is, I don't read all the papers and don't watch all the news broadcasts all the time)

- sexworkers get competition from Tsjechesjlowokian/Russian girls who are flown in for the night(cheaper than booking an Amsterdam escort) and walk the streets before they fly back.
?"open their windows"... could be doors?

- some older people think it will
end up in a civil war in Rotterdam.

- ex MP Ayaan Hirsi used her mothers name Ali and not her fathers Magan.
Any 16 year old can chose either.
Now they ruled the person issued the
paspoort to, A. Hirsi Ali, does not exist only A. Hirsi Magan therefore she has never been Dutch and had to resign her seat in parliament. Her VVD sent Ayaan into the status quo minefield of centuries of caved in Dutch traditional political conventions.

- they are laundering their porno
profits via the fiscal benefits of
a political aimed foundation.

- among the Dutch are still religious groups who refuse imun
response injections and medicens

Judging by the man in the picture it can't be a very interesting place, though, this Holland.
