Since elections entertainment and the victim-role in society here has skyrocketed.

For example, woke teachers who the next morning already complained on X that 7 year olds in their class were afraid that they are going to get kicked out of the country. Obviously nobody with common sense believes that 7 year olds were in front of the tv at 10PM discussing politics with their parents.

Other just dumb and not well thought trough narratives, such as interviewing someone from Curacao (one of the Dutch islands in the Caribbean) and asking if that person is afraid to get kicked out. They can’t return for fucks sake their island is literally The Netherlands, they’re here for generations and have Dutch passports.

State funded television and specifically the people who work there are almost crying, because Wilders want to cut those funds. He doesn’t believe in state funded television.

Protests against the result of election, with one fragment of a transboy afraid of hugging a Wilders voter.

Some statistics that Wilders it populair at people with a migration background, for the simple reason that they’re conservative just like him and he distanced himself from his anti-Islam rhetorics. His party will never be pro-Islam, but they state that there are more pressing issues which is true.

To paint a picture: I’d say that 75/80% of the country is curious what will happen, and there’s a relatively small group of gluten-free moccachino drinking people with happy socks in a vegan bar in Amsterdam who make it seem like Hitler took over here. I understand that people don’t like him, I didn’t vote for him either, but it’s all a bit exaggerated and fake.

Those types are everywhere unfortunately. With varying degrees of shame or not when they publicly open their mouths in context.

It is the same just about everywhere.

There is often a highly vocal majority on the left that pretends that it is open minded and for all but really if you don't 100% agree with their opinion they show their bigotry and close mindedness. There is always the sensationalism when a new leader with right of centre leanings is elected and it is made out that things are going to wildly change and they will do abhorrent things. I remember people in this country genuinely believing hat Trump would start a nuclear war.

The ironic thing is that it is the actions of these groups and a media that bends over backwards to gain favour with them that push people towards the populist parties.

The sad thing is that people who don't share their views are almost treated as being from the far right and the barriers come up. When what should happen is that there should be some understanding of the situation that has led to people voting this way and finding a common solution to issues facing the country.

There are 2 paradoxes that haunt me:
1. the freezer has 12 egg spots, while common egg cartons have 10 eggs inside, always feels like something is missing;
2. the cat food tastes are getting weirder and weirder. Today I had to pick between beef or Atlantic salmon. Feels so unnatural, you'd need at least 10 cats working as a team to kill a cow and even the most intelligent cats probably couldnt operate a fishing boat to get to an Atlantic salmon

Salmon return to rivers to spawn too.

Also I'm very sure that this small friend can take down a cow if it wants to :heart:

well my brittish shorthair and 99.9% of cats probably can't take down a cow :D

The UK just increased the salary threshold for skilled worker visas and family visas to £38,700 (it was around £20k previously).

It's not going to affect me personally but not too many people outside London make that much, and British citizens will also be affected. Those with foreign spouses won't be able to bring their partners to the UK unless they make over £38k.

I do feel increasingly less welcome in this country.

With the graduate visa also in the firing zone, the next few years are going to be interesting.

I can't believe you've ever felt welcome there.
