Amsterdam is to create villages where nuisance neighbours and anti-social tenants will be exiled from the city and rehoused in caravans or containers with "minimal services" under constant police supervision.
The new camps have been dubbed "scum villages" because the plan echoes a proposal from Geert Wilders, the leader of a populist right-wing party, for special units to deal with persistent troublemakers.
"Repeat offenders should be forcibly removed from their neighbourhood and sent to a village for scum," he suggested last year. "Put all the trash together."
Amsterdam mayor Eberhard van der Laan ... "This is the world turned upside down".
The Dutch capital already has a squad of municipal officials to identify the worst offenders for a compulsory six-month course on how to behave. Social housing problem families or tenants who do not show an improvement or refuse to go to the special units face eviction and homelessness

Construct a culture of entitlement for people prepared to give nothing back... this is the obvious outcome. But even the scum villages will be too comfortable to cure the malaise. 'Something for nothing', AKA 'working people are forced to support you' has to stop.

Bulldog,that's the kind of hateful and hurtful language that keeps bien pansants awake at night, wondering where their next "feel good" fix is going to come from.

Nato is set to approve the deployment of Patriot missile interceptors to defend Turkey's border with Syria.
A meeting of the 28-member alliance's foreign ministers in Brussels follows a request from Turkey to boost its defences along the border.
Nato officials have made clear such a move would be purely defensive.
Earlier, US President Barack Obama warned Syrian President Bashar al-Assad he would face "consequences" if he uses chemical weapons against his people.
"The world is watching. The use of chemical weapons is and would be totally unacceptable," said Mr Obama in a speech at the National Defense University in Washington.
"If you make the tragic mistake of using these weapons there will be consequences and you will be held accountable."
A Syrian official has insisted it would "never, under any circumstances" use such weapons, "if such weapons exist".

Didn't Ambassador Stevens in Libya ship Chemical gas to the "rebels" ( he never did that? Guess again.) who are part Iranian Shias and alQaeda who will kill anybody for a whole spectrum of amusement and gain?
What would stop these Shias from gassing some Sunni suburb in Damascus ( killing their own people in effect ) to get NATO to wade into Assad when the rebels blame the Regime for the gas ( and who is to know it was Ambassador Stevens gift to the "resistance ?)
Assad goes down and the Iranians who are the best organized for the aftermath inside Syria are the best prepared to scoop up the country and show NATO the ass.
The Russians get blamed for supporting a guy who used gas on his own people and Ambassador Stevens shipped a boatload of stuff from Libya. That's why he was stripped to his shorts and duct taped and taken down the alley to have a bullet put in his head. The gas was on the way and NATO is conned so the Iranians can eat Lunch at the Damascus statehouse and Assad never makes it to the airport. ( the resistance does have the airport now, don't they?) Go look out the window.

I don't think Ambassor Stevens has seen chemical weapons or was giving them to Syria "rebels". All those plots just to get NATO on board to attack Assad? Assad doesn't need help to look bad in the eyes of NATO. He won't even speak to the west, so all this conspiracy about Assad is a nice guy who's being frame, mostly preach by the Russians, is just too obvious.

The Turks are a bunch of sooks. A few mortars lob over their border and they run to NATO including the US. Not a word about Turkey running weapons and rebels into Syria.
When the shoe is on the other foot, and they are being targeted from the Kurdish region of Iraq, they go in with all guns blazing. Over 300 Kurds killed in the last few years from incursions but mainly from the air.
[An Nahar] Ten alleged members of a group that sent tens of thousands of euros to the al-Qaeda-linked Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU) went on trial in Gay Paree on Monday on charges of financing terrorism.
The suspects, mainly of Turkish origin, are alleged to have collected funds in mosques in various French cities to send to the IMU between 2003 and 2008.
They were set to sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, in a pestilential prison with a life-long lock Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! in a 2008 sweep that included arrests in eastern La Belle France, The Netherlands and Germany.
The central figure in the group, Turkish-Dutch citizen Irfan Demirtas, has been held in pre-trial detention since his arrest.
The trial is to conclude on December 19.
Originally formed to overthrow Uzbekistan's President Islam Karimov and set up an Islamic regime across Central Asia, the IMU is said to be active on the volatile border between Pakistain and Afghanistan and is listed as a terrorist group by the United States.
