politieke chaos

So then it's in Belgian airspace, and then it's a federal matter.

Seriously, that'll be the next point of discussion

so then we'll "calmly think about it", calmly, eh Rikky, so you don't hurt yourself

"calmly think about how it would be best to start", seriously!

There is only 1 solution, 1 solution only, we need to take to the streets.

In every banana republic, in every fraudulent country, people take to the streets.

And here we calmly sit in our couch, watching the whole thing

and we think "ah yea, we're going to calmly think about it"

We need to take to the streets! We're no longer a proper country anyway.

So why don't we make like all those banana republics?

Grab yourself a French speaking person by the arm, drag him on to the streets,

we need to protest until they fix it!

There, I needed to say that. Phew, what a relieve!

I was planning to go running in the park, but it's raining

Start working please!!

What I also don't understand.... I understand there is a great worry in regards to the Flemish movement...

that there are Flemish demands that need to be accepted... That's all ok...

How is it then possible that when he submits that bill to the same party presidents -who gave him all the material for that bill-

that suddenly they say "In fact John, 'this' is not in it and in fact we'd like it to be"

But I heard now -did I hear well this morning on the radio... did someone else hear the same-

That now the question is to determine who's competence it is to decide about the entrances and exits of the highway around Brussels

" and 'that' is in it but we don't want it to be"

Why didn't you say that when you initially met with him?

I've heard Rik Torfs this morning on the radio. Did you hear Rik Torfs?

He said "well we now have to calmly think about how best to proceed?"

Excuse me? Excuse me? Calmly think about how best TO PROCEED?"

Are those people not ashamed? It's been 200 days we're busy Rik!! "How to proceed..."

if your plumber -who you called to repair your shower- comes and tells you

he's not gonna do anything for 200 days - but he asks you to pay him-

and then he announces that he'll calmly think about the best way to proceed"

well - you sue they guy no...

but I think I burned more calories than running cirlces for 30 mins. Thank you!

Really is that the next discussion... and will we calmly have to think about that?

Calmly think about it, yea Rik.. without hurting yourself too much yea ..calmly think about how to proceed...

Really...People there is but one solution really...we have to get down into the streets

I wonder by the way if that isn't an option?

In every banana republic and each corrupt country people get down into the streets

But here we look at it from the comfort of our armchair and think "oh yes we'll calmly think about it"

We have to protest

Isn't there a law OBLIGATING the elected to form a government?

Oh no, it should be Falders... is that it?

did I get it right....That those people paralyse a whole country because of discussions on who's responsible of a stupid highway exits?

You'll exit in Flanders or you don't...

I really don't understand... Are those people still connected to reality or not?

Do they know what they're doing?

No really... cause soon it will be about the Viaduct in Vilvoorde!

Cause it's situated above Vilvoorde. But did someone measure how high exactly?

Cause maybe it's too high to still be of Flanders competence?

And then it hangs in Belgium's airspace! And then it's a federal issue...

We already lost our dignity. Well why not do as in any banana republic

Take a french speaking by the hand and get down into the street

And we have to protest till it's solved

No...It had to come out...It's a relief

I wanted to go for a run in the park but it's raining...

But I belief I burned more calories compared to a 30 min run. Thanks very much.

You see I don't speak often about politics

cause I know that during a family reunion it just blows the atmosphere around the table.

Can't we order and menace them with sanctions in front of Court?

But today, today, I want to talk about Belgian politics cause I don't understand it anymore

You see, Johan Van de Lanotte spend two months - two moths on his bill.

That they have to pay 10 million euros a day as long as there isn't a government?

All party presidents went to see him saying

"we want this" or " we don't want that"

1 million per belgian... Rick Torf will personally deliver it!

Or the postman, with your pension.

"we're partisans of this" and "that's going too far far us". Yes?

Cause the highway is in fact situated in Flanders Haha!

That guy writes it all down, yes? And then he creates a bill out of it.

Those people were elected no?

And who's competent for the entrances and exits? Not Brussels no?

They applied for a job. Well you got the job, congratulations!

See, I don't often talk about belgian politics

because I know that when you start talking about politics at family gettogethers, it's a good way

to ruin the mood at the table.

But today, today, I'd like to say something about Belgian politics, because they've lost me.

See, Johan Vande Lanotte has been working for 2 months, 2 months(!) on his bill.

All the party chairmen went to see him and said "Look, Johan, we want this, we don't want this"

"We really like this and we can't live with this"

So he writes it all down, and puts it all in 1 big bill

So how is it possible that, when he redistributes that bill to the party chairmen

who supplied the material for it, that they go all "oh, Johan, this isn't in there and we really wanted

that, and this is in there and we really don't like that"?

So why didn't you say that when you went to see him for a cup of coffee?

This morning, I heard Rik Torfs on the radio, did you hear that?

He said "We need to calmly think about how it would be best to start"

Excuse me?!

"calmly think about it would be best to START"?!

Don't these people have any shame? We've been at it for over 200 days, Rik!

"best to start"... If you call a plumber for a broken shower

and he takes 200 days to do nothing, bills you for it,

and then goes "We're calmly going to think about how it would be best to start"

Surely you would sue him!

I wonder if that's an option... don't our laws say these people are OBLIGATED

to form a government? So can't we have a judge force them with fees?

So they'd have to pay €10 million per day they haven't formed a government.

1 million for every Belgian, Rik Torfs will personally deliver it at your doorstep

or the mailman, along with your pension.

Are these people not elected? They applied for a job...

Well you got it, congratulations, so get started! Please!

And another thing I don't get:

I understand there's a concern about the Flemish movement,

and that there are Flemish demands that need to be met, but now I hear,

did I hear that correctly? did any1 else hear this?

Are they starting about the responsibilities for the on- and off-ramps of the ring around Brussels

because these ramps are actually in Flanders, aha!

So who's responsible for the on-and off-ramps? Surely not Brussels, oh no, it has to be Flanders!

So do I get this right? Are these people blocking an entire country

because they're concerned about who's responsible for a stupid ramp?

Thou shall exit Flemish, or thou shall not exit!

I seriously don't get that! Are they still in contact with reality? Do they know what they're doing?

Soon they'll debate the overpass of Vilvoorde, because that's above Vilvoorde,

but has anyone measured how high it is? Because it might be too high to be the Flemish region,
