It's a declaration that it was so at the time of granting asylum.

Today I learned that the Dutch are quitters.

"Johan de Witt (24 September 1625 – 20 August 1672) was a Dutch statesman and a major political figure in the Dutch Republic in the mid-17th century, when its flourishing sea trade in a period of globalization made the republic a leading European trading and seafaring power – now commonly referred to as the Dutch Golden Age. De Witt controlled the Dutch political system from around 1650 until shortly before his death in 1672, working with various factions from nearly all the major cities, especially his hometown, Dordrecht, and the hometown of his wife, Amsterdam.

As a republican, de Witt opposed the House of Orange-Nassau and the Orangists. He was also strongly liberal, preferring lesser power to the central government and more power to the regenten. However, his negligence of the Dutch land army (as the regents focused only on merchant vessels, thinking they could avoid war) proved disastrous when the Dutch Republic suffered numerous early defeats in the Rampjaar (1672). In the hysteria that followed the effortless invasion by an alliance of three countries, he and his brother Cornelis de Witt were blamed and lynched in The Hague, whereafter rioters partially ate them."

They "partially ate them"? Who partially eats someone?

So I guess Hungary's a de facto dictatorship now. Coronavirus emergency law passed, giving the president the power to rule by decree during states of emergency and the power to extend states of emergency without parliamentary approval.

A strong statement for a company that doesn't even have a word for themselves in their own langauge!

Can someone from Europe explain why this picture is unusual? It looks normal to me.

Fine, I'll wait.

Ok, so why does the stadium look unusual?

[TD1]

Hah, funny man.

Anyway, it's unusual because the footballers are playing without an audience, and therefore have nobody to show off to.

Because there are people playing football in it
