Hilarious to see nutters like this go on about free speech, while dismissing anything that isn't "their free speech" as fake. If he really thinks he should be allowed to say absolutely anything to anyone and get away with it, I suggest he does a "Rex Kramer" and see how that goes:
Scene from the movie "Kentucky Fried Movie" in which a white scrawny guy dressed up as a stuntman walks into a black neighborhood, and yells "dirty <n-word>"

I couldn't afford albums until I had a job, so I had to do with singles. These were my first two, bought together:
Cover of the single of the band "Dawn", called "Tie a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree".Cover of the single "Yellow Boomerang" by "Middle of the Road"

He doesn't pay more tax, his English colleague pays less, and gets less public services in return. I never got it, how can you complain about the lack of public services, or the quality of it, when you are not prepared to pay for them? I always refer to this image to explain the high Dutch taxes:
Images shows the border between The Netherlands and Belgium, and highlights the massive difference in road quality that paying taxes delivers (no pothole in sight).

Road tax? On the last car I owned when living in NL I paid €2952 (based on weight and emmisions). For the same car here, the road tax is £441. For my current car, a Ford diesel, I pay no road tax at all. The pothole problem is due to lack of maintenance and the UK's shrug-and-muddle-on attitude.
Picture showing the difference is road quality, and the lack of potholes. when entering the Netherlands from Belgium.

I had an old Berini first, then when I was 14 a 70cc Benelli, and at 16 a 70cc watercooled Yamaha FS1. Highly illegal, but you have to do something when school is 20km away, and no money for the bus...

If ever you wanted to know how much capitalism warps our humanity, consider this: Around 800,000 people in the UK are so sick that they cannot work. And instead of being described as a health crisis, it's being called an economic crisis.

Not to forget he and Trump probably had a lot in common, given the friend they shared.... As someone else eloquently put it:

Appearantly, he also wants Apartheid back in South Africa:
A tweet from the account @TrumpDailyPosts with a profile picture of an American flag. The tweet reads: "South Africa is confiscating land, and treating certain classes of people VERY BADLY. It is a bad situation that the Radical Left Media doesn't want to so much as mention. A massive Human Rights VIOLATION, at a minimum, is happening for all to see. The United States won't stand for it, we will act. Also, I will be cutting off all future funding to South Africa until a full investigation of this situation has been completed!&quot; Below the tweet, it states: &quot;Donald Trump Truth Social Post"
