The umpire strikes back: Culture Council denies use of 'cheese slicer'

We at culture press didn't use the word cheese slicer, so it's not about us, but still. Today, the Culture Council reacted rather furiously to the many negative reactions to the opinion issued last week. Of course, it is also kind of unfortunate that the Council has to issue an opinion that it itself does not support at all, and then has the whole industry all over it. And this was just a general opinion. The real balderdash will only come in the autumn, when Halbe Zijlstra will implement the council recommendation.

Finally, the tables are set because the Culture Council is sour. They could also have given up and thrown in the towel, but this accumulation of old Dutch sayings would - in the eyes of many - only make things worse. After all, then Halbe Zijlstra could start hacking and slashing himself, and that can be done with these Death Metal-fan only turn into an even bigger bloodbath than we are getting now.

Finally, read the council response here and decide for yourself whether this is a cheese slicer, a string bean grinder, a grater or a food processor. We stick with a digger.

Huh, how about cheese slicer!
