Netherlands Child Welfare Scandal

[Hymie]

It’s good to see that the Dutch consider political incompetence a reason for resignation.

It’s a shame Boris Johnson and co are not of the same view.

The severity of the Dutch situation was far worse than a few underprovided meals. There’s no comparison.

They stepped down but haven't stepped down.
There is a general election this year in the Netherlands.

mmmmmmmmmmm?

If the scandal had occurred in the UK, you could bet a £ to a penny that no one in government would resign.

They’d almost certainly make statements such as ‘No ministerial resignation is required as a result of the matter.’ (Where have I heard that before?)

Mark Rutter is one of the most upright and honest politicians in Europe and of course acts with the highest moral priinciples

he also faces a general election in a few weeks
and has an eye for a theatrical coup
which looks good - - very good
and will win a few votes
coincidental I stress of course
