The Netherland times???
Really?
That can’t be real.
20 Sep '22 22:34@vivify saidReally?
The Netherland Times is a real news source, dumbass.
20 Sep '22 22:37@vivify saidYou... really are astoundingly, Metal-Brain-level ignorant about the Netherlands. So is the WP "journalist" - probably more correctly, "intern" - who wrote that "article".

Really. Come on. You should do better.

21 Sep '22 06:52@soothfast saidOn their site they do refer to it as the Netherland Times.
@shavixmir
It seems to be called the NL Times, officially.
21 Sep '22 07:20@vivify saidAll I see is just another one of your assertions/inferences, not a “statistic” which supports either your “all” or your “most”.
See above
21 Sep '22 07:22@vivify saidAhh so you are now going to hide your “all” and your “most” behind some jazz handed obfuscation about nations rather than people.
What Euro country hasn't started moving right?
21 Sep '22 07:231 edit@shallow-blue saidLol.
Don't talk about things you know nothing about.
Brexit isn't right-wing. It's extremist. It's just that the main Labour party in England is centre-right, and therefore Remain; while the Tories are all far-right, and some of Labour are exceptionalist.
21 Sep '22 07:26@vivify saidIf brexit is to defined by immigration alone, which you seem determined to do, for obvious reasons, then at least get it right.
Anti-immigrant nationalism is right-wing.

21 Sep '22 12:41@divegeester saidThe OP wasn't about individuals it about the Swedish government, one of many European governments where right-wingers are starting to take control. This is a rising trend in Europe.

21 Sep '22 12:44@divegeester saidIt's well-known that racism and nationalism was a significant driving force behind Brexit. The fact that it wasn't the only factor for leaving doesn't change this.

Brexit was about tightening border control to control immigration.
But you slur away…
21 Sep '22 12:542 edits@shavixmir saidYou have a point, it's like titling something "The United State".
Well, fukk me sideways with a barge pole… the Netherland Times does actually exist.

And what’s more, at a quick glance it seems to be quite objective.
How strange.
For Vivify’s sake, what triggered me was the name. The country is called “The Netherlands”. Plural.
So any news page would normally be called the same. To drop the S is a ...[text shortened]... t would be like calling a Scottish news site: “The Cotland Times”.
