I'm looking back today.
Things are changing fast in my country.
Only two or three years ago The Netherlands was one of the most liberal,
most tolerant and most prosperous countries in Europe.
We had good health care, we were rather nice to refugees, the economy was humming like a bee,
most humans were satisfied with their life and nobody was hungry or left without assistance.
But the wind has changed. The economy slowed down. Many workers lost their jobs.
Large numbers of humans turned against foreigners,
and many of the foreign refugees had to leave our country.
Big cuts were made in the health care system and the social services.
There were violent incidents that shocked everybody. A politician was murdered in cold blood.
Even the supermarkets started a war.
And there were scandals in our Royal Family.
We're still a good country, compared to some others.
Our humans are nice to dogs. But we better not let it slide any further.
It has to stop here. That’s what I say when I look back.
Have a nice day everybody!
