Nothing but Total propaganda!! This is a law based on nothing but lies and hatred. All the so called "health benefits" the government is spewing about arent truthful they are lies. If a lie is told often enough it becomes the truth. Or at least it is reported as such.

The real truth is that this ban has had effects which were all negative- all it has brought are business closures and social division. Thats the case with the UK and no doubt itll be the same in Holland.
