@martijnbart In een andere tijdsdimensie, waarschijnlijk. Wel scherp gezien trouwens :)

The text that goes with this video is not correct. This is nót minister Remkes performing a persiflage, but minister Remkes being persiflaged. This is an actor.

You're right.. Strange i didn't notice that earlyer lol :P Changed it, thanks for noticing ;]

@lae2k Mooi dan kan je hem vertellen dat hij een foutje maakt bij 0:24-0:25.

'cause what do you want with freedom

with a bomb-thrower at your door?

And why do you need privacy

if you don't have anything to do with terror?

Just now

your neighbours could have plutonium in their shed.

We don't arrest anyone without a reason.

Where there's smoke,

there's Remkes.

Don't think we're safe here in the Netherlands. They're making video-tapes of the Efteling, (theme park) they're setting fire to police cars, they're making bombs behind closed doors. So about privacy, you mustn't whine to me. We interrogate your neighbours, we search your lawns, microphones inside your walls, and a camera in the ceiling.

[koenoomens]

What do you want with freedom

when bomb throwers are at our gates?

And why do you whine about privacy

if you've done nothing criminal?

We must all be alert

from Yerseke to Almelo. (two Dutch cities)

I've got two words for you:

Increased risk.

[koenoomens]

Confidential information, Alarm phase red, The concrete threat is major. What exactly this means that again I'm not allowed to tell you. It would be far too dangerous to share this with the public. You don't know what I know, you don't hear what I hear, but if we arrest a family then there's a good reason for that.

[koenoomens]

I don't need any medals for the work that I do. I like to do it for you but I can't tell you how. That whining about openness... The people don't understand that a secretary of Home affairs sometimes sees things that aren't appropriate for civilians. And maybe you think: "So what..." But I can tell you one thing, you can be glad I'm here.
