I was thinking : I things get worse I may have to sail down under .. to stay clear from radiation..
So.. that would upset some ;-)

You need a visa to emmigrate to Australia. People who sail in without
having bothered to get the visa get deported to off-shore detention.

 Took less then an hour to fill in a form in The Hague last time to get a visitor visa.

You'd need a residents visa if you wanted to avoid radiation. There are lots of different isotopes in the radioactive residue of a nuclear reaction, but the longer lived ones are still dangerous after a few hundred thousand years.

Then dig some gold and IIRC above a specific amount wealth you can get a resident visa.

That used to be true. We elected a Labor (Partie van de Arbeit) government a few years ago, and some of the stuff that used to be for sale if you had enough money isn't any more.

But I found a simpler way
I had a lot of medals as a kid for some sports
I tried some sort of fast walking jumping recently
Now down-under upside the jumps take less effort of course, more like falling (simple fishicks),

A little too simple minded to be correct.

that is why all the kan-gurus can only live down there
That is due to graffity being inverted,

Kangaroos do fine in zoos in the northern hemisphere.

So I will get a kangaroo suit and freely jump about when I arrive, no one will notice.

You'd have to go way outback before a dim Dutchman hopping about in a kangaroo suit wouldn't attract attention. Kangaroos do avoid urban areas.

Good life , freedom unlike the poor native 'stralians who were abused and locked up.

They still got locked up about ten time as often the European descended population, and do worse in all sorts of areas. The current administration is trying to solve the persistent problems left over from the period of invasion and colonisation. My youngest brother is a doctor who has specialised in their particular health problems, but they aren't easy to solve.

Whatevcer happened to that other guy from  where was it, Sydney?  that used to post here?
Or was he younger than 16 and no longer can go online?
And you?

I'm 81 and Phil Allison, my neighbour from Summer Hill in Sydney wasn't
all that much younger. He may have caught Covid-19 and died. Not all
that many Australian's did, but our age group is more likely to die if
we get it, even after being vaccinated (which most of us have been, some
more recently than others).

 Ah, well I hope he is OK,.. in case he died ..
when I got to heaven I was refused entry because I did not get the required 4 COVID shots..
So I went down below, but the boss there did not want any competition.
So stuck here I am for now.

Really?

There is more freedom in Russia than where you are.

Putin does seem to be free to expose people he doesn't like to the
Russian chemical warfare agent novichok. That does seem to be the kind
of freedom you seem to approve of.

Most of us prefer to live in places where the political leadership is

 Concentration camps you had for the poor native 'stralians if I read it right?
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous_Australians

Concentration camps were originally invented for the Dutch immigrants to South Africa during the Boer War - 1899 to 1902.
Native Australians were never fenced off like that. Their kids got sent off to boarding schools, and those schools were fenced off so that the kids had to stay put and get taught, and they were pretty unpleasant, but the boarding school I got sent to when I was 14 didn't appeal to me much at the time, and still strikes me as a pretty poor school - I did pass the exams that let me go to university, but my teachers weren't all that impressive.

No wonder that they screamed 'You are not my king' when the UK king visited.

That was Senator Linda Thorpe
https://www.aph.gov.au/Senators_and_Members/Parliamentarian?MPID=280304
She works hard to get attention, and isn't all that choosy about how she gets it.

Bit like the YouAsh treated  treats!  the native Americans.

It has a lot in common.

Was reading about Irish catholic church treating children from un-married couples...
seems a movie was recently made of that.
What a world.

Cardinal Pell wasn't the only Australian roman catholic prelate to abuse young children, and the Australian Roman catholic church isn't unique in tolerating abusive clergy.

Anymal empire..
 No wonder Aliens do not visit here, the Inter-galactic Travel Agency has warned
not to visit earth, infested with humns, those are considered dangerous.
