BELGIUM THE PHOENIX

Belgium is going into another year still without a Government, raising the expectations of those looking forward to a divided future.

The Flemish northerners remain adamant that the French speaking southerners, too damn lazy to speak the nation’s first language can have no majority in any Government ruling the entire Country, and likewise, the Franco/Belgians want no Dutch related party ruling them.

Although the Belgians are World leaders in the fields of beer, chocolate and chips, the division of Belgium into two independent states is now inevitable.

The north, which is likely to be called ‘Belgium’ will contain a railway station, a brewery and a racing track, whilst the south, which is likely to be called ‘France’ will contain cheese eating surrender monkeys.
