Going by the examples set by America's 'ruling class' (Teddy 'the swimmer' Kennedy) I would say that the UK muzzies will demand prime real estate for themselves with grand vistas unobstructed by such things as wind turbines.
Do you dare object? You're a racist!
Good tagline.
If you consider the point for a bit, the situation is rather like the Israelis and the ''palestinians'' (which term BTW was coined in about 1969 -- there are no such things as ''palestinians'' except in the fevered mind of the Israel-haters).
Of the Flemish-Walloon arguments, whatever the hell they are, I've A) no clue, and B) no interest. That silly nation -- and I flat DARE any FReeper to come on here and say otherwise -- has been a net negative for the entire world since WW II.
There won't be any sort of civil war in Belgium, I think. Both sides in that nation are far too gutless to take up arms. There will doubtless be some sort of bureaucratic war there, likely boring to death in its details.
I'm thinking just now that, the sooner the Belgies can invent the 'Q' bomb (or perhaps in their case, the 'q' bomb), the sooner they can try to extort ''foreign aid'' from the US. (I trust you take my reference...heh heh).
There's a remote possiblity that even the Eurocrats in Brussels might take sides. This would be all to the good -- we'd end up being shed of X number of bureaudorks, and the Eurocrats would have to move the seat of government, which would keep THEIR bureaudorks busy for several years.
The Dutch get Flanders, the French get Wallonia and Germany gets back eastern Belgium. The people there speak German. The region could easily be integrated as a 17th state.
The Brits can get the exiled royal family. They love royals.
Belgium already uses nuclear power more than all other types of electrical generation combined. Nuclear power provides about 56% of their electrical generation.

Q: What would a Belgian civil war look like?
A: Both sides’ lawyers and bureaucrats try to bore each other to death.
As long as you don’t mind taking orders from unelected Euro-commissars in Brussels.
Loss of freedom is loss of freedom, no matter where your commissars are located: Moscow, Berlin or Brussels.
That’s very interesting and quite relevant, thank you very much!
The casualties in that war would be enormous!
;^)
Indeed. This is stunning! A bunch of unelected anonymous bureaucrats in Belgium, telling the United Kingdom what it has to do with its countryside and billions of pounds.
Holy moly.
