Utterly mad. Amazed Apple will not turn down this request or simply threaten not to sell them in the UK. They'd change their tune pretty quick then.

Lmao, good luck Apple doing that. The UK is a pretty decent chunk of their European market and with a pretty good position I would say.

There is a huge difference here between 'back door with a warrant', and 'back door with no warrant'.

There was this !dutch violinist/ orchestra director who became famous worldwide, by having these "informal" classical music concerts/shows, where peeps in the audience would dance in the aisles, or even the musicians or André himself would walk down the aisles themselves, while celebrating famous classical music.

This was considered radical for Boomers, who found the dour and sour and uptight classical music conformity of Europe to be to too stifling. People like my parents were pretty excited to watch his shows and performances on DSTV, which had become more common in Safrica, and appreciated his musical acumen, whilst having much more lighthearted tones in his shows.

Here's a bull attacking a woman!!

He also looks like an eccentric mad-scientist nutjob with his hair!

In 2010 he had a tour in

Unfortunately his weak !dutch genes were no match for the filth and garbage of Safrica, and he got a debilitating ear infection mid tour.

DRAMA!

Drama had however occurred over time in the 2010s when André Rieu obtained the notable quirk, in that he REFUSED to speak the Colonizer language of Afrikaans!!!!

This caused a lot of seeth for Boers, who ironically made the lionshare of his fandom in the country, even beyond the large Bonglish CD-buyers in Cape Town. This social media drama has been largely purged by time and linkrot (omg this like 15 years ago ) But it was pretty big drama.

In his tours of 2010 & 2012, he had repeated numerous times that he had been disappointed in the demographics makeup of his shows, which as can be predicted, were always overwhelmingly

He was especially disappointed to find Safrican black peeps didn't really give a shit, despite his massive catering towards them in all his Safrican tours, whether in Cape Town or Suncity. Especially in his "My African Dream" shows, which he tailored to include lots of black opera singers, local black dancers, and it was still 99% mayo

=====(from news24)

André Rieu, King of the waltz and musical hero to many South Africans, still refuses to speak a word of Afrikaans or even Dutch onstage.

Last year already many of his fans asked why Rieu did not speak a word of Afrikaans or Dutch on stage.

He has toured across the globe, always making an effort to speak at least a word of the language of the country in which he is touring.

Rieu is aware that many of his fans in South Africa are Afrikaans speaking and that they are able to understand the Dutch heard on the DVDs.

Country's demographic

When Volksblad asked Rieu in an official enquiry why he does not speak Afrikaans or Dutch onstage in South Africa, he said: "No comment."

"He wanted to make it easier for his fans to travel to the show, because not everyone will be able to travel all the way to Sun City. He also hopes to then see an audience that is a better representation of the country's demographic."

Rieu has said that he would like to see an audience that is 50% black and 50% white. Last year, he asked the Bloemfontein Children's choir to perform with him in his hometown of Maastricht in the Netherlands. His condition that the choir should consist of 50% black members, was heavily criticised.

I tried really hard to find old twitter about drama when André Rieu stated in front of his 99% mayo audience how sad and disappointed he was that so few black peeps had come to his Cape Town and Suncity shows, and with many people stating how full of shit he was, because if he wanted a primary black audience, he should have hosted a show in Soweto stadiums (he didn't cuz it was unsafe )

Like holy hells there was scores of drama - you guys don't appreciate how linkrot has culled so much drama of our forebears

Like I remember newspaper articles about the drama and events but that shit is now banished to the shadowrealm i literally cannot find anything on the face of the internet to prove what I'm recounting to you guys, it's information just gone into the ether

No... we want to get away from this crap, not get drawn in further.

Weird that Israel is on board.

It's not weird at all. It will be American soldiers who get attacked and not the IDF. They get what they want without assuming the risk

American $$$$$$$ American lives. For a fricking sand war that will never end. NOT A FAN OF THIS BS AND WHY I TOLD EVERYONE NOT TO SIGN UP FOR THE MILITARY EVEN UNDER TRUMP.

but i thought he was the most peaceful president ever

This is dumb

We were on such a winning train until this move. Why put American lives at risk in a place full of wild muslim terrorists.

You are a scared and weak cuck.

We will bomb the crap out of Gaza and take all their resources and women and be richer and stronger than ever

surely the average joe will get richer

Can't say that I'm on board with this idea. What happened to America First?

This is America First. You're just not smart enough to understand how.

Why? What use is that shithole to us? What use are those shithole people to us? Frick that noise, let Israel deal with their own problem using their own money.

Trump tower Gaza

Lots of sleeper accounts with little to no post history yelling the loudest about this right now.

everyone i don't like is a bot

This is a brilliant decision. I know we don't want to get involved but what this is doing is daring the terrorists to frick with us. If they do anything now in the Gaza Strip we can bomb the shit out of them because we can say Iran and all those other idiots declared war on the United States.

It'll make the Democrats side with Muslim extremists and Iran and further expose them.

Which will convert Jews in the US to the Republican Party.

It will kill all Democrat fund raising except in Portland, San Francisco, and other Blue shitholes.

If us doing the peacekeeping works, congrats we've also ended all war in the Middle East.

If they attack us, we get to forcefully end the wars in the Middle East.

I don't like putting our soldiers in harm's way but this truly is the strongest deterrent to unchecked mayhem.
