De uitzending van Deborsu ‘iedereen fraudeur?’ verbergt dat sociale fraude steevast door een miniem deel uitmaakt, terwijl non-take up van rechten een massaal probleem is- oa door de angst na zulke reportages. Gewild of ongewild fabriceerde hij de sociale versie van ‘kijk daar een hoofddoek’ 1/

Thinking about my own father, who arrived in 1946 with the Free Polish Army - when would Labour have sent him back to communist Poland? How could he have done anything to build a life and have children in the UK if he had had to beg to stay every two years? Disgusting. www.bbc.com/news/article...

We gotta get people back into reading the whole story

A serious question, for anyone who wants to engage in our economic debate: How should we talk about nonsense?

Bad news for the environment - but also terrible news for the political environment. When the center-right allies itself with the far-right, European values become optional at best. This is European history repeating itself.

Ook de Belgen van N-VA, CD&V en Open VLD hadden geen enkel probleem om in coalitie met Vlaams Belang de wegkijkwet weg te stemmen. Schaamteloos.
