The Tongue of Lucifer, the nine-metre high oval sculpture which sat on the A6 near Lelystad until it was blown over at the beginning of last year is to return to its place under a new name, Flevoland provincial councillors have decided.

A family in Dronten is literally at the centre of all sorts of fraud and controversies because they live in the very heart of the Netherlands – and are getting threats and the occasional unwelcome visitor to boot.
