  1. They should have burned down the senate

    Would have been a saving

  2. Ah yea vandalism is going to solve the issue, some people man…

  3. If Belgium needs anything these days it would be more entrepreneurs like Cockerill who are willing to work with new technologies and risk everything they have to build a new industry.

  4. Protests aren’t gonna help you get your point across. It didn’t with De Lijn, it didn’t with NMBS, it won’t with this.

    All it does is frustrate those that need to get somewhere by barricading their (only) options off

  5. Taking down a statue that honours labourers in your pro-labour protest

    I’m not sentimental about statues or monuments so it doesn’t offend me, it’s the baffling stupidity and painfully cheesy irony that’s so offensive

    adults in the protest need to babysit these Jonnys so they don’t become a live action Onion article

  6. As I’ve said in the Brussels sub, I’m all for protests, but where you risk losing my support is when there is vandalism like this (obvs) and when the emergency services are affected. I saw police vehicles and ambulances being stuck due to the traffic jams and I myself had a heck of a time getting an uber ride to go a hospital that is a 15min drive away. I don’t know if this is due to poor protest planning or to the protestors going against plan, but this should never be allowed to occur.

  7. A proper protest. Went eating fries with them on the highway today. Was good fun!

  8. Ah yes, all the respect they will gain from hindering students and working class people, and topping it all off with vandalising properties and monuments. Striking during exam season, when the majority of students is too young to ever have even been able to vote is insane.
