βMending the Lineβ is a powerful drama about a wounded soldier who is taught to fly fish by an old veteran as part of his therapy. Based on a real story, it is exceptional in terms of the action, cinematography, and scenery. πΊπΈ βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ

Het is aan liberaal-democratic he fans om hun opvattingen te uiten.

Mark Rutte wouldn't recognize a "perfect democracy" if it hit him in the face. Or care much about it, given his long career of weakening liberal democracy in the Netherlands.
