Lezers verdienen goede kranten, maar kranten verdienen ook goede lezers.

A letter to a newspaper:

Agree to disagree
Sir. There were several articles in Saturday's comment section (Jun 20) with which I profoundly disagreed.
Keep up the good work.

The cowardice, or incompetence, of the British government on Elon Musk is incredible.

We have the power to stop him interfering in our politics - we just need to do it.

Geboortedag filosoof Hannah Arendt (1906-1975). Zij muntte de term 'banaliteit van het kwaad'. Men doet kwaad door niet meer zelfstandig na te denken, maar slaafs orders op te volgen. Haar boek 'Totalitarisme', over de opkomst van dictators en de rol van de massa, is weer zeer actueel.
