I don't care if the homeless person we house or the refugee person we welcome is a "good investment". Humanity is not a business. I just want as many HUMAN BEINGS to be warm, happy, safe and healthy as possible. Wrap that up in whatever political affilliation you care too, it's how we should […]

Don't use it in the first place. Next question, please?
We have to seize the means of retrieval:
I talked to Herman Geuvers yesterday and well... I feel the answer seems to be: "no"
"Het is vrijdagochtend 16 mei 2025 en Eduard Cousin typt: ‘Dag collega’s, ik ga de NOS verlaten.’ Cousin woonde tien jaar in Egypte en schreef talloze artikelen over het Midden-Oosten.
