Across the channel the British people have succeeded in gaining self determination, and have already demonstrated fair treatment for EU citizens living in the UK. The Belgians however are angry that the EU is in danger of imploding now. The EU project put Belgium on the map. Before the Brussels cartel existed, all Belgium had was mussels and chips (which are delicious by the way ????) They have those small chocolate pyramids with Raspberry filling.

They are supposed to represent the nations of Europe, in much the same way that each of Jacob’s twelve sons represents a tribe of Israel. But I still find it's a beautiful way to leave the door open.

UK has left the EU -- not the Council of Europe... which they remain a member and which the flag originates from. "The Council of Europe is an entirely separate body from the European Union.

Why don't you tell us, what you really want to say. Also where do you wish us head in the future? Simple whiners are boring and not worth of time and discussion.

Do you actually read other posts or do you just make it up as you go along? There are many different areas of unity, even outside the EU you can remain unified on issues that are of common interest. We have lots of different organizations that we have common interests (NATO being one). For the purposes that the Council of Europe exists for... are you saying that the UK has no common unity on areas such as Human Rights, Democracy, and the Rule of Law? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It use to be a common place to go away to (my co-worker who I am friends with) use to go there often to visit his father (while we were posted in the UK). Up until that point he had met his father 3 times in his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seaside is at the Flemish part of Belgium. One should expect that the seafood is better there. Not exceptional meaning for me, rather current, however this is a family (married) pension.
