For a while i'm going to write exclusively in English. I have had it with the Flemish nationalists. What's happening in Flanders recalls the dark Middle Ages when Flemish insurrectionists used the phrase 'Schild en Vriend' to select and kill French speaking soldiers in Bruges. The Bruges Matins or Brugse Metten was the nocturnal massacre of the French garrison in Bruges by the members of the local Flemish militia on 18 May 1302. The title of the massacre was an analogy to the Sicilian Vespers. The massacre has been compared to St. Bartholomew's Day massacre. This revolt led to the Battle of the Golden Spurs, which saw the Flemish militia defeat French troops on 11 July 1302.
