Amsterdam to create
´scum villages´

Telegraph [UK], by Bruno Waterfield

Original Article

Posted By:Attercliffe, 12/4/2012 6:02:19 AM

Amsterdam is to create "Scum villages" where nuisance neighbours and anti-social tenants will be exiled from the city and rehoused in caravans* or containers with "minimal services" under constant police supervision. Holland´s capital already has a special hit squad of municipal officials to identify the worst offenders for a compulsory six month course in how to behave. Social housing problem families or tenants who do not show an improvement or refuse to go to the special units face eviction and homelessness. Eberhard van der Laan, Amsterdam´s Labour mayor, has tabled the £810,000 plan to tackle 13,000 complaints of anti-social

Isn´t Amsterdam the city that has legalized nearly every behavior that leads to scummy people choosing to go there? How ironic.

I don´t agree that this is a good thing. A team of ´harassment directors´ are going to gather reports on neighbors. Will they then turn over their findings to a government agency who will determine what behaviors are ´anti-social´? Will the accused ´anti-social´ get a trial or will they simply be convicted by the numbers of complaints?

I´m sorry but, if this were happening here, could you imagine home owners associations giving ´anti-social´ neighbor reports to Homeland Security?

Those northern Europeans are such control freaks. Their permissive culture creates the very problems that are currently annoying them. Instead of addressing the permissiveness, they create "solutions" that are nanny state-like.

Keep in mind that once you have this proposed system of exile, it can theoretically be applied to everyone for whatever reason. It´s just a skip from being thought of as a nuisance neighbor to being thought of as an undesirable for whatever particular reason. Beware the sugar with the evil taste.

What´s the difference between these "scum villages" and jails, other than a jury trial?

The tough approach taken by Mr van der Laan appears to jar with Amsterdam´s famous tolerance for prostitution and soft drugs but reflects hardening attitudes to routine anti-social behaviour that falls short of criminality.

Remember the old saying that a conservative is a liberal who´s been mugged. The Dutch apparently have had their fill of liberalism when it comes to their own back yards being soiled.

I don´t blame them. Miscreants shouldn´be be permitted to chase law-abiding, solid citizens out of their own neighborhoods. It´s the miscreants who should be forced to leave.

It was a while ago that I heard a good idea -- put serial nuisances on Alcatraz. Don´t lock them up, just put them there and let them do as they please. Fly in food and medical help when needed and let them bother each other instead of bothering the rest of us.

They are two of the most glamorous women in the world, their every outfit forensically examined by fashionistas--and each will give birth to her first child in July. But when it comes to the style stakes, any similarities between the Duchess of Cambridge and reality star Kim Kardashian end there. Kate, 31, has always been the epitome of elegance and at six months is still svelte, with a barely-visible Royal bump. She has also stayed loyal to her classic dress style, favouring demure wrap dresses and beautifully tailored coats. Kim appears to have taken it less easily in her high-heeled

A coral reef in Northern Australia severely damaged by warming seas has managed to completely heal itself in just 12 years, stunned researchers have found. The team found that being left alone to breed on its own was key. The discovery raises hope that other damaged reefs could ´regenerate´. The new research shows that an isolated reef off the northwest coast of Australia that was severely damaged by a period of warming in 1998. It was hit by coral bleaching, caused by higher water temperatures that break down the coral´s symbiotic relationship with algae that provide food for coral growth.

The North’s Uriminzokkiri Twitter and Flickr accounts stopped sending out content typical of that posted by the regime in Pyongyang, such as photos of North’s leader Kim Jong Un meeting with military officials. Instead, a picture posted today showed Kim’s face with a pig-like snout and a drawing of Mickey Mouse on his chest.

As the US and China grow increasingly involved, Kim Jong-un must be brought into line if war is not to be triggered by an act of recklessness. There are two schools of thought about what lies behind North Korea’s increasingly frenzied posturing. The first goes like this: the rhetoric emanating from Pyongyang--including calls to “break the waists of the crazy enemies [and] totally cut their windpipes”--is no worse than their decades-old ritualistic promises to turn South Korea into a “sea of fire”. What we are witnessing, according to this theory, is nothing more than an inexperienced leader

Anyone who remembers the halcyon dreams of the 1990s, of civil society spreading the world over, heralding a new peaceful, global millennium, must marvel at the path the young 21st century has taken. Even those who paid attention to global Jihad before the millennium could not imagine how vulnerable the West would prove in the coming, wildly asymmetrical war. Those who, over the course of the last 13 years, have awakened to the ever-growing danger of Islamism and to the astonishing inability of decent people--Muslims and non-Muslims--to effectively oppose its aggressions, owe themselves a brief lesson in cognitive warfare, and

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
