Wilders' Headscarve Tax on Muslim Women: Yellow Cattle Tags a Solution? [EN]
Queen Beatrix' confident Herman Tjeenk Willink encountered a probably insurmountable stumbling block in his efforts to clear the way for a right-wing Wilders-supported Dutch Government, yesterday, as a task-force of Dutch Civil Servants in The Hague could not find a solution for a civilized way to introduce Wilders' head scarf tax on Muslim Women. Tagging the ears of all Dutch inhabitants of the female sex with large plastic scannable tags to indicate if they are Muslim or not, when they wear head-scarves, is "a bridge too far" in the eyes of the three negotiators.
Mr. Wilders had asked from his conservative and Christian democrat coalition partners a written guarantee, that they would impose his "Kopvoddentaks" pet project during the coming legislature. Both coalition partners then made the reservation, that they were not sure that it would be applicable, due to technical and legal obstacles. Whereupon Wilders asked and obtained a promise that an urgent expert report on that matter be written, in order to settle the problem in the coalition contract.
