You'd be able to read this rant, which is in essense a parody of the scaremongering tactics employed by the Dutch government to bully us into supporting the EU constitution:
'What a 'NO' vote will mean? In fifty years they will write (a poem, AD) about the Netherlands: 'Thinking of Holland I see barbed wire fencing, guard towers, dust and ashes. Bodies are swinging upside down, slowly rocking in the winds of a nuclear winter.'
It will be because of you, ungrateful citizens! Hypocrite dogs! We as a government have been trying so hard to build a better world. We have given you a new currency which didn't increase prices at all! We have gotten you into a wonderful union with members including a barely fascist Italian (head of state, AD) !'
If anybody wants to have a go at translating it (i.e. someone who doesn't have to work for 70 hours a week), I'd be grateful.
Update 21.11: reader Bob was kind enough to do the honours. Read the full translation by clicking 'Lees verder'.
