Morally irresponsible beautiful buttocks

2017, Saturday the 11th of February. While a picture, with frustrated old women comments, appears in one of the "expats" facebook groups the sawdust maker follows, for reason of the sometimes useful information and the daily dose of irony, of a scantily clad beautiful dark lassy with enviable buttocks, the Japanese Prime Minister wakes up from a nightmare, while his cramped hand still goes up and down, after the encounter with the Boar of the Pig Paradise, the promised castles in the sky, from different parties, in the battle for the Dutch Prime Ministership passed by the Central Planning Bureau (the Dutch institution that calculates thru all gouvernment plans). Like most right oriented Governments in today's Europe, Mark Rutte, the still by his mother ironed shirts bearing Prime Minister of the low lands, tries to convince the people with his economic rhetoric stories. Basically he does nothing but deny his own election program that, now the figures behind the proposed arrangements are known, wants people living on a national assistance benefit to have even less to spend. Also the foreign aid, under pressure from the populist wind, in his plans diminishes to almost non to nothing. Even more significant is that the holiday money for people on state benefits will be abolished, it’s an annual amount that is used by many families to pay the bills that, by living below the poverty line, are pushed forward in time. Just like the mentally disturbed dictator in America, the truth isn’t very popular at the party of the current Prime Minister and that’s probably why he is doing everything to get fundings out of the public broadcasting, being one of the few channels in the media where journalists still work independently of shareholders and the political views of the CEO or Board of Directors. Furthermore, they want the lamp posts at highways to burn all night again, with which the urgency they feel in respect of climate policy becomes visible in a single proposal. Camouflaging your own ideas to look less selfish, the drive to moderate lobby-obtained ideas into in fairytale speeches in which good and evil are simplified to black and white and just laugh and look away at serious problems are the talents that lie behind the Dutch Prime Ministers maskarade. His underlying agenda differs but little from that, right extremists racist radical message, and perhaps is a greater threat to a social society than any populist politicians will ever be. Just like the comments that appeared under the secretly-made picture of a unsuspecting girl, that confidently walks around in a society full of know-it-alls moralists, demonstrate the learned and imposed standards and values of disrespecting everyone who dares to step on the black stripes of a zebra crossing, used as an excuse for unbridled sexist and especially frustrated statements, politicians, like Mark Rutte, eager to make use of metaphorical fairytales to become the wolf at grandmother's bed. The innocence of little Red Riding Hood is, according to him, not so obvious, if only because she wore a pink pantyhose...
