Things are as murky as ever in Belgium... same as all of our other countries.

Very well done. What is interesting is that migrants is the key issue in Flanders. But when you vote for a party you don’t vote for 65pc of their program… I like telling my Flemish friends that I am myself the result of migrants. Our family was Flemish and fled to Wallonia because they wanted to eat… in the early 20th century.
My biggest problem with immigration is that I consider we are all on earth by accident and refusing migrants is racism or xenophobia.
We should invest half of what we spend to counter immigration to improve conditions in their original countries.
Some small mistakes in the documentary. Bruxelles is largely French speaking despite efforts from Flanders to populate it. Vote is no longer mandatory in Flanders. But at federal level yes. Strange country with overlapping or contradictory rules.

Yes, I was intrigued by the way the narrator avoided the issue of the dominante language in Brussels and the other issues surrounding it if Belgium were really to split. But that is such a nest of snakes that the video would have needed to be at least twice as long.
