Really?
That can’t be real.

@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.
@shallow-blue saidWho to believe? A trained reporter vetted by a globally-respected news organization...or a what's-his-face wishing he could post like Zahlanzi.

@vivify saidWell, 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 absurd.
It would be like calling a Scottish news site: “The Cotland Times”.

@soothfast saidOn their site they do refer to it as the Netherland Times.
@shavixmir
It seems to be called the NL Times, officially.
Sort of like the Wahington Post…

@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?
Make your mind up then… if it is “most” of Europe, then YOU tell me what one’s are not included in your “most” assertion?

@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.
Opinion based on pinholed far left perspective is a helluva thing.

@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.
Don't talk about things you know nothing about.
Brexit was about tightening border control to control immigration.
But you slur away…

@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.

@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.

@shavixmir saidYou have a point, it's like titling something "The United State".

I think leaving out the "S" gives the title more of a punch. Try saying "Netherlands Times", it's a bit awkward....doesn't flow as well. Maybe two words back-to-back with "S" sounds at the end just don't go well.
