roxcalibur.........this isn't to you, I just clicked reply to the last post ( which happened to be yours ).

 

To be honest, unless you're Muslim, Irish, or trying to form a caliphate; I don't see why wanting independence should have any religious overtones at all.  Personally, I don't understand how a Country as small as ours; sees any merit in breaking itself into even smaller pieces.  To me that's just being extremely ignorant as to the ways of the World and courting vulnerability.  I'm English by birth, Welsh by blood and British when my back's against the wall.  I find the lack of human intelligence and mental evolution extremely depressing.  I would have hoped that we could have progressed away from this tribal mentality years ago.  Wanting your country to determine it's own future is one thing, but wanting each of it's regions to do the same; is another thing and quite frankly IMO is ridiculous.  I'm Welsh, I love Wales.......my heart and soul are there.  I also love Ireland and Scotland and spent years working up there in the oil business..........but it's not about being Welsh, or Scottish, or Irish, or English.....it's about what unites us ALL.......it's about being BRITISH !!!
