The Freedom Party

Those outside The Netherlands might not be aware of this, but Geert Wilder’s party is called (unironically), The Freedom Party. So, today in news that probably make the Freedom Party all warm and fuzzy inside, in the village of Boekelo, in the East of The Netherlands, Woman in burka banned from theatre despite free ticket promo:

A woman wearing a burka has been banned from a performance by Moroccan comic Anuar in Boekelo, even though the theatre had promoted the event as free to burka-wearers, local tv stations RTV Oost reports.


For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you.  Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
