Henk Staghouwer resigns

@shallow-blue said
No.

No, they don't.

If they did, they'd have thrown the asbestos-dumper "farmers" onto their own bonfires months ago.

I don’t have an active recollection of anything…

Nope.

So the kabinet does not care about what the rest of the Dutch people think either?
Then why did they force Henk to resign?

He wasn’t fit for the job. An embarrassment to the rest of them.

Politicians want power and when they have it they want to keep it. And if you sell the bull 💩 wrong, you are out.

Well, not out. You resign, pick up a massive paycheck and join a board of directors somewhere so you can live in luxioury.

The people be damned. Who the hell listens to the peasants whine?

So the Dutch people forced him to resign, just indirectly because he could not answer common sense questions.

Bill Gates owns more farm land in the USA than anybody. The Dutch government wants the land of farmers. Why do all the rich people want farm land now?

Politics is way to complex and nuanced for you to grasp.
You do not even grasp that the term ‘farmers’ is not synonymous with the term ‘peoples’ in the political sense. Most of the ‘people’ do not trust ‘farmers’ because they are in a customer / seller relationship with them and they control the food supply whilst never being part of the majority urban populace, farmers are not the people they are a tiny elite landowning class.

No. The Dutch people had nothing to do with it.

To be precise: the farmers who are protesting are a tiny elite landowning class, what used to be called "herenboeren" - gentleman farmers - in previous centuries. They do none of the farming and all of the profiteering. The real farmers who farm themselves, and who do so conscientiously and with regards for the environment, are nobody's enemy, do not have the time to block bridges or dump asbestos on the motorway, and have nothing to fear from the nitrogen laws.

Yeah we called them the yeomanry. To be clear I wouldn’t describe anyone as ‘the enemy of the people’ I just take issue with MBs description of them as ‘the people’.
The yeomanry were a class who would double up as a militia in support of the powers that be in times of civil unrest.

No, no, no and no.

Then tell me who forced him to resign and why.

What is your source of information?

Yawn.

So you don't have to explain the contradictions of Henk's policies?
He was forced to resign, but the Dutch people had nothing to do with it?

You have been brainwashed against farmers.

No, no, no and no.

You really do not know anything. You might as well be asking an American - another foreign people you know nothing about - why JFK was pushed off the Washington monument. You are spectacularly ignorant, and your handlers in the SVR are decidedly doing you a disservice.

Is there something about him resigning you don't want people to know? Like why?
