So you're Dutch, for some reason I got the impression from earlier discussions that you were Irish. Must have not been paying attention.
Having just returned from a week in Amsterdam may I say your compatriots are a cheerful and welcoming bunch, despite the permanent moronic shitbag of tourists in the center of town who wander mindlessly across bike lanes and into the paths of trams trying to take selfies with the Nightwatch.

If I may make some foot notes:
Towns dont become 50% eastern European if the English born have not moved out. Something is already wrong I'd say?
Bloody furruns like me are educated by our birth country and pay nhs cash as well. So I never got that bit, how do I cost more?
Re integration it's a bit hard when people are cuntish and don't accept you, I guess it works both ways.
Not saying it's not complex, Dutch arriving in droves may drive you insane with our bluntness and godless laws (yay!) so I see there's always opportunities for friction.
But integration with what? In a way host countries (so is the Netherlands) always say A and do B :)
