    St. Nicolas or Sinterlklass arrives in the Netherlands from spain but this event has been the subject of protests and a UN investigation because of his helper Zwarte Piet.

    What can the UN do? Condemn the Netherlands?

    The UN is a bloated excuse in bureaucracy where a Jamaican administrative official can use a world platform to criticise customs half a world away. It is a kids festival and nothing to do with racism, but now they have made it so.

    You would think that the UN has enough small scale wars on its hands that need attention and resolution instead.

    Fix Haiti
    Haitians are suing the UN over their bringing cholera to the tiny island nation through UN peacekeepers from Nepal. So far, 700,000 Haitians have contracted cholera, with 8,500 deaths. The UN claims it has immunity from prosecution. Prior to the UN bringing in the Napalese peacekeepers, cholera was nonexistent in Haiti
