Life on my street
Dino Soerel, the Netherlands's biggest gangster, now that Willem Holleeder is behind bars, was nabbed by the national cops RIGHT DOWN MY STREET! Who new?
In news of stuff that should be criminal but isn't:
The CDA (Christian Democrats) here got another embarrassment when their new BFF Geert Wilders turned up on Australian TV (6 weeks ago, butg aired today) saying Islam isn't in the same class as Christianity. A CDA Senator said publicly this kind of thing would be bad for business while party boss Verhagen had words withWilders, who said, in effect, "suck it up, I can say what I like about Islam and the horrible Ground Zero mosque; we have a deal [to form a majority government]." Mark Rutte, the boss of the third party, the VVD, hasn't said anything. But the VVD only care about selling off the national infrastructure, so nobody expects them to have any moral qualms.
The latest Maurice De Hond poll shows the CDA losing more seats, so maybe playing Post Office with a mad dog is costing them respect.
