By ‘us’, I meant Europeans in general, but sure, I agree with your comments about the Dutch. The humour is similar to British, and all of the Anglo-Saxon and Scandavanian peoples seem to show a good affinity with one another.

The Dutch do have about 1500-2000 troops in Afghanistan i think, based near the British command in the South. All good blokes.

With land connections to Russia and the Middle East, it was always going to be difficult to manage immigration, especially with the Schengen Passport Free Zone. I think what is needed is to introduce certain citizenship tests for newly arrived migrants, making sure they dont just arrive and set up their own enclave as has been the case.

When Westerners move to a different country they are expected to adjust to the local culture and customs; they same must be expected of migrants coming into Europe.
