The Dutch are amazing people known worldwide for their liberalism, tolerance and pragmatism .
To generalise The British ( i am one) are not known to be any of the above traits . But the Dutch have shown everyone worldwide that Cannabis prohibition is a total failure , this is commendable and other countries have followed the Dutch example.
It's a shame that the Dutch are using the British as an example and want them to 'Stay away' the brits cant help it , they have been brainwashed for all their lives by the elite and the right wing that cannabis is bad and alcohol is acceptable, this is a bad mix for the average brit tourist in the Netherlands but the pull factor is too great for the brits due to the close proximity of our nations .
But I think we are an easy scapegoat and deflection for the Dutch elite now we have left the EU, gentrification is OK now in the red light , the final nail in the coffin but at least lets be honest that is what's happening here . For circa 600 years this part of the city has always been 'anything goes' until now because of property owners that want to benefit from sky high capital values of their assets. The Dutch government are only too happy to oblige obviously and the cannabis and alcohol consuming brits are an easy target , they certainly won't get anyone in our government on this side of the water arguing on their behalf.
Ps I've been visiting Amsterdam for 20+ years spent at least £60k on the delights of amsterdam over those years and that does not include solely Cannabis and I don't consume alcohol and ive never felt the need to piss anywhere other than an expensive hotel room .
