Hand
In Engeland hebben ze nu ook hun eigen Verdonk-handschudrel, al is de weigeraar een vrouw en heet Verdonk Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair.
"Sir Ian was informed on his arrival of the officer's request. This has never happened before and he was bloody furious. But he agreed to go along with it so as not to cause a scene.
"He went out and shook the hand of every single new recruit apart from her. It was very obvious and very embarrassing."
Zie het verschil in "agreed to go along with it so as not to cause a scene" met de confrontationele aanpak die hier te lande gebruikelijk is (geworden).
