A weekly round up of writings on the Internet, some relevant for my research, some political, some funny but all of them interesting (Dutch/English).

Right now Im making a trip in the UK, visiting London, Birmingham, Leicester and Manchester. During this trip I talk mostly to people who migrated to the UK from the Netherlands, regardless of their ethnic background. What I give you now is an impression of the main themes coming up during my conversations with these people. Do not expect too much in terms of reflection and analysis, it is just meant to give you some idea of what came up and the themes that might be explored in further research.
