So we had fake news, now we get fake science. What's next, fake arguments?

I hope you reconnect one day.

The Dutch secretary of digitization announced plans today for creating a national cloud for public services. IT projects aren't usually our governments strong suit, so who knows if this will succeed. At least they're doing something.

I heard a piece on the Dutch news of gay Americans and parents of trans kids already applied for asylum. Will take a while before we'll hear if they're actually granted asylum but there are already people trying. They are personally affected though, and felt unsafe enough to leave their country behind so I'm not sure this is valuable information for someone who just dislikes their government.

Also in my life I've met a bunch of people who moved here, they didn't come across as all being from a single economic class but didn't check their payslips.

I don't think all or even most of the affluent 30-40 year olds with executive roles in tech, pharmaceuticals or finance voted for Trump. The ones that did vote Trump are quite likely still fond of him.

Oi mate, come and rest yer head on our European bosom hehe

I now see you meant we shouldn't give them privileges other countries don't have either, I do agree with that. I most of all meant we should create the conditions that make it as attractive as possible to rejoin the EU. In some articles about a multi-speed EU they say the UK could join at the lowest speed in a similar way Norway and Switzerland are 'members' of the economic area, I think it's more realistic the UK will first have an agreement like those two countries before they become a full/regular member again.

Guess I wasn't the only one confused. But thinking the top 10 most polluted rivers are over 10 times as polluted as the European ones isn't exactly good news. Well, for us maybe. But still.

I like Brtl-Z written, but probably no longer once I hear a brit talk about Bontrol-Z lol

They should be given the best of privileges, but on the EU's terms: everything that is beneficial for the people in the UK and their economy, unless that's harmful for the union (such as exemptions from fishing quota or whatever). A stronger member leads to a strong whole, generally speaking.

Not mine but one I really like is The Breversal. Although technically not as correct as breunification, breintegration, the brejoing or the brestoration.
