The funniest thing to happen in France just recently is that the government is going to give extra money to those french people who have more than 2 children........ No problemo sayeth Mohammed.

that's not what the people here :

"Cette majoration unique, fortement contestée par les associations familiales, représente une économie de 138 millions d'euros par an selon les calculs de la Cnaf (Caisse nationale des allocations familiales). François Fillon avait indiqué que "l'argent récupéré" servirait à d'autres mesures pour les familles.
Pourtant le déficit pour une famille s'élèverait à près de 600 euros (586,56 euros) au total, selon l'Union nationale des associations familiales (Unaf). "

as far as the Dutch think, here is what a dutch political chroniker says on an EU political forum :

"Wilders has support among a small minority and is perceived as unserious by the large majority of the Dutch. This does not mean that they all disagree with his ideas. Rita Verdonk, who has some similar ideas, is polling extremely well right now. She is running a politically much smarter platform."

I also get Dutch customers, that aren't of that extremist position.

Though, one could says that the muslim immigrants are our favorite joke targets, as were the Belgians a few decades ago
