Private #renters & Estate agents in #Amsterdam/#Netherlands are exploiting & ripping off new arrivals. Thought UK housing market was bad; Amsterdam/Netherlands' is simply gutter market: poor quality spaces unfit for human dwelling & dodgy landlords running black market boldly
What I saw on Saturday in a house with water-damaged internal walls, mold, pungent smell of damp, broken glass doors & abandoned items were rooms priced at over 800 Euros. In addition, landlord doesnt want tenants to register. #NetherlandsHousingMarketIsGutterMarket#Netherlands
Today I viewed a room in a pensioner's flat in #NieuwVennep. She wants 600 Euros. But guess what, she wants 450 in cash monthly so that the govt cannot trace the money & tax her. She actually said that that way. #NetherlandsHousingMarketIsGutterMarket#Netherlands

🇳🇬 Nigeria 🇳🇬 @MBuhari
60 years of independence. But should be a day of mourning. Because #Nigeria is like a war bride.
A war bride because her leaders and government have plundered her the entire 60 years, and achieved nothing but regression. #NigeriaAt60
The leaders of #Nigeria have raped, maltreated and continue to denigrate her even today, like the war bride she became.
Her shame is faked in pretensious pride though behind, she longs for better companions. #NigeriaAt60
Her children are born with no love because her oppressors cares not about the outcomes of their malicious acts, nor do they look in at the war bride except when they wish to abuse her.
Her pleadings fall on deaf ears, and her cries nothing but noise to her captors. #NigeriaAt60
This epidemic has provided a stealth excuse for a subtle, almost unseen strengthening of totalitarianism across the world even in once supposedly established #democracy like #France, and now #UK. We're sleepwalking into dangerous territory for our freedoms. #COVIDー19
Under the pretence to save us, dictators now has legitimate path to become madder, & democrats the right to turn into baby dictators threatening to stop us meeting friends & families. If that's not tyranny, tell me what is. Purely the wrong way to deal wt an epidemic! #COVIDー19
#Democracy has been largely successful through self-policing which believes that citizens know and will keep the law without force. Current #lockdowns is throwing that into the gutter under the pretence that people cannot be trusted. Thiss is dangerous! #COVIDー19
.@Conservatives is not able and CANNOT deliver a brexit that will work for anyone not matter what. With 3 Prime Ministers in and over 3 years, even once with a majority in Parliament, they have FAILED, FAILED & FAILED.

.@David_Cameron ordered brexit, made a promise of 'no ifs, no buts', yet when it arrived, he fled in a very shamelessly irresponsible manner, having not planned even for a pen to write out a single line of approach for brexit. You can't trust a word he said.

.@theresa_may took over claiming she IS "strong and stable" to care less because "no deal is better than..." but couldn't deliver #nodeal, good deal, bad deal or any deal whatsoever. At last, it was still the lies.
You can't trust a word she said.

#ClimateChange activism, like #religions before it, is of course tackling the climate change problem through indoctrination, bullying and emotional blackmail tactics.
The solution to #climatechange is not more laws to stop people using what they have but more practical infrastructures that help them achieve what their needs without emissions. You cant ask people not to drive when it is cheaper to drive and quicker to get to your destination.
The solution to #climatechange is not more laws but policies that will engender easy lifestyle changes that leads to better choices. You cant ask people to buy organic food when the price for such is beyond an ordinary person's affordability.
Has no one realized that this populism of stripping people, especially children of #immigrant parents, of their #citizenship in the guise of preventing terrorism, is reminiscent of the Nazis stripping Jews & others of their belongings & rights? Subtle but which minorities next?
Many of this people being denied their citizenship are totally & only British regardless of whatever other citizenship they "could be entitled to". They were born and/or brought up in Britain. So whatever they have become, Britain made them. @theresa_may@sajidjavid
If they had won medals & awards, UK wouldn't strip them of their citizenship or ask them to take country's. Instead we'll celebrate & claim them as British w/out mentioning their parents initial countries. In that same manner, we shld keep & manage them because Britain made them.
Gosh! Worrying that so many in UK has swallowed hook, line & sinker, @theresa_may's mediocrity by regurgitating her pity stance that there is no alternative better deal with the EU. Such level of cowardness being led by a Prime Minister of Great Britain & NI is unprecedented!
This #backstop means we neither #Brexit nor #Remain. Put in a nutshell, and according to her own Attorney General, UK is heading into an eternal purgatory. Not even a banana Republic would do such self-amputation.
As Mrs May can't do #Brexit, hand it over to me. I can do FAR better than her pitiful deal of fear that puts us in limbo. We either leave the EU or stay in fully. None of this 5th class nation being shoved down our throat by a weak Prime Minister with no belief in this country.
