Some people are calling this ‘tourism suicide’. The Dutch government has announced that by the end of the year, the marijuana-selling coffee shops for which the country is famous will be closed to foreigners.

It is estimated these new anti-drug laws could put an end to the influx of tens of thousands of Brits who visit Amsterdam every year. If you ask me, that is a shocking indictment on the tulips, dykes and prostitutes of Amsterdam.

Under the new legislation, which has been driven by far-right politicians, only Dutch residents will be allowed into the weed-selling establishments, and customers will have to sign up for a one-year membership, or “dope pass”, to the coffee shops.

Anyway, I’m sure a lucrative and illegal cannabis market will spring up in no time for the tourists. How progressive.
