The chips are down in Belgium


There's seems to be no end in sight for the belgian conflict between the Wallons and the Flemish. The problem is not new, in fact it's been going on for the last forty years but seems to have heated up more recently with the francophone Wallons no closer to getting the Flemish to sign up for a united Belgium and so this crisis of national identity seems to have reached  stalemate.   Luckily, they still manage to keep a sense of humour about things but the video highlights the deep divide between the two sides.

Very nice clip!
There is indeed still a big problem between the south and the north...
Although, I think we, Belgium people know the problem already for a long time, I understand French people recently discovered the issue...
Maarten, Belge... (Flemisch)
