“Any suggestion of collusion between our journalists in Gaza and Hamas during the 7 October attack is disgraceful and defamatory”. #AFP reiterates its unwavering support for its Gaza colleagues ➡️ u.afp.com/53PH

I predict a global revival of trade unions and industrial action in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic. What did you expect after massive job cuts and now leaving the survivors to carry the slack without proper compensation? #pandemic #tradeunion #labour

Had a long chat with a guy from N.Zealand including rugby and the challenges facing Dutch cricket. Only now I realised it was Michael Bracewell! Awesome cricketer and a helluva nice guy, like many other Kiwi sporters. #CricketNation @BLACKCAPS #KNCB

Lovely piece on Dutch cricket history penned by Bertus de Jong. All you ever needed to know in there: tinyurl.com/yd388sab De Jong and Rod Lyall are THE experts on Dutch cricket. @RodLyall @BdJcricket #KNCB #ENGvNED

Wish I could have been there! Unfortunately some Dutch farmers are keeping me away from this one... See you at VCC in August! #KNCBcricket #VRA
Final match of this historic first @KNCBcricket v @englandcricket ODI series today, but Anglo-Ducth cricketing ties go back a lot further. The Dutchman who played with WG Grace, English POWs winning the Dutch League a century ago, all this and more... emergingcricket.com/insight/…

VIDEO: Heads tilted far back, Dutch revellers hold the raw, onion-coated fish by their tails and drop them down their open gullets. Welcome to the port of Scheveningen, where the Netherlands is marking the arrival of the season's first catch of new herring

If you ever wondered what life would look like if people in low-lying countries like the Netherlands had to take to the rooftops because of climate change, well, it would look like this. @AFP piece from Rotterdam by @ju_capelle bangkokpost.com/life/social-…

The saddest part of this is that for some reason most Dutch "voorlichters" are trained to stall, stonewall, and not tell journalists anything for fear it could harm their organization. Move them to the PR/Advertising department, and keep 1-2 real media contacts.
Het aantal voorlichters blijft heel snel stijgen Er werken nu ongeveer 8 keer zoveel voorlichters bij de ministeries als mensen bij denktanks (WRR en de adviesraden van de regering) Dat is ongezond, als je oplossingen voor problemen wilt. villamedia.nl/artikel/omtzig…
