This is not a political blog – can’t say what type of blog it is, but political it is definitely not. Usually i’m not into the details of our palpitating little nation. In fact, the only political statement i make is in the language i use: i choose no sides.
But well, this week, you had to be blind, deaf and stupid to miss the fact that something was going on. Brussels-Halle-Vilvoorde.
Now this is a prime example of a well-known political tactic.
To avoid talking about REAL ISSUES, such as:
- economic stagnation
- the integration of the new belgians (immigration)
- delocalisation
- the ageing population
- the failings of our inefficient and sometimes corrupt government
Our politicians prefer to direct everyone’s attention to some totally irrelevant issue.
Like whom a few thousand people on the border of Brussels will be able to vote for (other countries do terrorist attacks).
Who bloody cares ! A lot of people apparently. So this was one hell of a successful diversion. Well done.
