Johan Derksen has a Friday night in Veronica Inside once again harshly at his critics. At the end of the talk show, the football analyst held a five-minute fiery monologue in which he mainly focused on the ‘trampling in the Netherlands’. “What bothers me tremendously is that whole platoon of hypocritical underhanded people in the Netherlands”, said Derksen.
Veronica Inside has been the target of criticism for years because of, for example, jokes about gays, comments about Moroccans and Derksen’s comment about Akwasi earlier this year. “People who, if you say something, immediately put a label on you”, the former football player describes his critics. “René (van der Gijp, ed.) Makes a joke by sitting down dressed as a woman, because a Belgian (Bo Van Spilbeeck, ed.) Has been a reporter for thirty years and one day suddenly became a woman. shouldn’t be joked about. I’m joking about Akwasi, I’m a racist. All those bastards are waiting for a slip of the tongue or a joke that goes wrong and they label you right away. The sad thing is that serious media I don’t want to be called a racist by some buffoon from the country, then they have to report to the police and then the judge will determine whether I am a racist am. “
“They want to silence anyone who has an opinion that differs from their opinion in the Netherlands. And if we give in to that, and we are quickly inclined to that, then the Netherlands will immediately be a big bastard country. I am so disappointed in some things. I make a joke about Akwasi, everyone knew it was a joke. It wasn’t even a bad joke. But it was a joke. Then Talpa’s information department comes: “Panic, panic!” Because there are angry phone calls from the country. They make a press release in which they say they distance themselves from everything that has to do with racism. Well, we too! We said that a hundred times at the table! “
Derksen also points an accusing finger at his own employer Talpa. “I told a newspaper that I did not mind that commercials were dropped, because we always thought they last a very long time in our program. The management immediately in an email:” Don’t do that! Don’t put oil on the fire, because it is a very serious matter. ‘ Then I think: Peel up! Stand behind your people. The craziest people will drop you. I’ll tell you, I was completely surprised about that: I am making a blues festival in Grolloo with two other people. We hire Mojo to the tent and to call those artists and arrange the seats etc. They are employed by us and Mojo wants to do politically correct for the stage as well and sends a press release in which they say they do not know whether they still want to work with me working together … Then I think: I don’t know if I still need you next year! That hypocritical stuff. All for the stage. “
However, Derksen is not upset and wants to remain himself. “I’ll tell you, I’m very easy in it. I’ve already been everything except a pedophile, so I’ll never stroke a little boy on the head, because then you’re fucked. I’m 71 years old, I have my whole life had a big mouth. I am untouchable, but if mister De Mol thinks it is going to be crazy, he sends me away, I shake your hand and then I go back to Drenthe singing. They can all burst from me! I stay just say what I think. I gladly accept the consequences. “
