Just as laid back as ever, hence not too impressed with the very un-laid back immigrants that insist on dragging the country back to the middle ages.

They have been way too tolerant over the years - accepting anyone and everything without batting an eyelid.
But now some of those they've welcomed in are trying to change the liberated, relaxed and free nature of the country. The murder of Van Gogh (director) was definitely one of those events that is behind this shift in attitude.
One section of the community decided that being laid back wasn't good enough any more. Well, the Dutch think it is, so their attitude - quite rightly - is that if they don't like it, then no-one is making them stay.
