Following the news from 4 m below sea-level. At home I bring paper to life with fanfiction and paper-mache (@papercomes2life)

@remkorteweg I live in Lelystad, we need students to liven up the town. I propose we build a "quartier latin" here with student flats that have little studios for artists and craft shops on the ground floors. Get that Zuiderzeelijn in asap and we'll house students for Groningen as well.

@sylviawitteman @volkskrant Ahh, smut!

[Kirsten bij't Vuur @Lopendvuur1]

@mrjamesob I must confess to checking your profile. Would have been disappointed if you'd paid up.

[Kirsten bij't Vuur @Lopendvuur1]

@garius I'm in.

@sylviawitteman Pasta carbonara en risotto.

@NoContextBrits From my point of view that might as well be true: I'm Dutch. We certainly don't have roads like that.

@jessphillips My rom com favourites are Sweet Home Alabama and Peggy Sue got Married. Just plain old entertainment.

@EmmaBurnell_ @jessphillips Lovesick is perfect.

@GeorgeMonbiot Very interesting subject, thank you.

@ExiledPaddy62 @worseville @nannycrin @toryboypierce @SadiqKhan @vivamjm No, you're gaslit. I'm sorry for you, because it won't get better soon. Staring blindly and angrily overseas really will not benefit your own country. Your leaders are taking your taxes and giving them to their cronies and when they shout "boats" to distract you, you let them.

@ExiledPaddy62 @worseville @nannycrin @toryboypierce @SadiqKhan @vivamjm EU has purifying plants for the shellfish that British shellfish can no longer be admitted to, remember that revelation? And you'd do better to direct your anger to the companies unloading shit into your rivers than be distracted by your leaders into hating/fearing foreigners.

@leftstance @CliveWismayer @vivamjm Britain, self sufficient in tea? Don't you need colonies for that?

[Kirsten bij't Vuur @Lopendvuur1]

@ExiledPaddy62 @worseville @nannycrin @toryboypierce @SadiqKhan @vivamjm Bad EU, protecting its citizens from crap products! Like shellfish from shit-infested waters, processed products from deregulated agricultures like US and Australia and who knows, the UK after the "bonfire of regulations?" The UK should check EU imports but it's cheaper not to.

@afneil @mailplus Who will find me the best hunter in the world? We need her to finally catch that Brexit unicorn!

[Kirsten bij't Vuur @Lopendvuur1]

@theousherwood Labour cannot propose (re)turning to the EU until the depths of Brexit have been plunged. As long as its effects can still be denied by more than a rabid few, Brexit is still alive and needs to be seen through.
(I say this as EU citizen who does not want Farage back in the EP)

@Zoetjetoch @mrjamesob I've seen both and agree that the Belgian version is much better. Grittier and not pulling punches. The UK version seems bland in comparison.

[Kirsten bij't Vuur @Lopendvuur1]

@gasolinebrother 😂

[Kirsten bij't Vuur @Lopendvuur1]

@MennoOng Leuk draadje, niet over de gedachtengang erachter maar wel interessant.

What's just happened to the UK economy? A thread on how we got here, and what's next for Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng... 1/

[Kirsten bij't Vuur @Lopendvuur1]

@MennoOng Vriendjespolitiek en disaster capitalism? Kelderende pond spekt speculanten, omvallende bedrijven rijp om te plukken voor Tory donors, belastinggeld naar energiebedrijven en NHS privatiseren. Dikke banen straks in 't bedrijfsleven voor Truss etc en Murdoch wrijft t Labour wel aan

[Kirsten bij't Vuur @Lopendvuur1]

@jamesecook Not enough, though. Needs to be 100 before the poor fellow on the streets gets his penny.
