Een buurt informatie netwerk beschermt blijkbaar Kleine Brogel. Dacht iemand al aan het mobiliseren van de duiven van onze vele liefhebbers?

Me dunkt dat een slaagcijfer van 25% in eerste bachelor een grotere sociale drempel vormt dan een toelatingsproef. Ja, niet iedereen heeft zelfde kansen bij zo’n proef, maar is dat dan anders bij een eerste bach met een selectiefunctie?

Godzijdank voor de ‘maar’.

It's open doors at the Temple of Human Passions in the Cinquantenaire Park. 7 days a week and there are deckchairs.

Verplaats de aanmelding voor mensen die asiel zoeken naar Antwerpen of Gent. Als Anneleen Van Bossuyt de weinige asielopvangplekken wil slashen en de dakloosheidscrisis op turbo zetten, dat ze het dan in haar stad of die van de premier aankijkt. Dan ziet de federale regering misschien haar fout in.

Die startende magistraat verliest dus een dikke 2300 bruto per maand. Dat is dus van de orde: morgen uw salariswagen weg, zonder compensatie. Verder hebben steunen we de rechterlijke macht wel. Dat spreekt.

Europe must start projecting power and one way is to start actively hurting our enemies. So let's do this. Musk is using X as a publisher, actively intervening. And he's ignoring data protection and privacy laws. Take him down.
