In the past year the Belgians have have the biggest increase in GDP of all the Eurozone countries - despite (or is it because) of having no government.

>>Who would the Brits surrender to.<<

We shall never surrender. We'll merely tut and say 'You have been busy little Belgians, haven't you? Cup of tea?'.

Mind you, it'll be poisoned.
