I have to agree Gustave. What Blair was thinking when he pushed localized rule I have no idea. He has singlehandedly given Scots and Welsh the instrument they have lacked to drive for independence. I would not have underestimated the independence movement in Scotland. The trend of devolution in Europe is striking, I dont think there has been this kind of seperatism and ethnic strife in Europe since before WWI. Its also enlightening to note that this level of political tribalism and Pan-slavism hasnt been as prevalent since that period either. Without the heavy hand and immanent threat of the USSR, all hell is breaking loose.
