Seems strange for wales to remain, i mean the united kingdoms of England and Wales doesn't sound so cool

2018-05-07 13:32:07 UTC  

Its just Wales doesn't care for independence

2018-05-07 13:32:17 UTC  

maybe

2018-05-07 13:32:48 UTC  

All empires collapse in the end

2018-05-07 13:32:54 UTC  

No matter how strong

2018-05-07 13:32:58 UTC  

Even the ottomans

2018-05-07 13:35:00 UTC  

Yes although i dont think its as much of a constant as different empires last differently, i think for example the ERE lasted essentially 700 years in turkey and the ottomans lasted 400 years after that,

2018-05-07 13:36:51 UTC  

I mean even though they had their hickups the chinese empire lasted under differnet dynasties for a very long time, and then it was the nationalist and then the communist china, but china remains constant

2018-05-07 13:38:01 UTC  

China did split alot

2018-05-07 13:38:44 UTC  

But that's quick a different situation than the uk

2018-05-07 13:40:39 UTC  

im not sure how cemented the English language is in the kingdoms, i might be uneducated but there seems to be some cultural overlap among the brittish isles, and thus maybe people see more value in sticking together?

2018-05-07 13:41:45 UTC  

i mean i hope it splits, the less regional powers in europe the better

2018-05-07 13:42:04 UTC  

divide et impera

2018-05-07 13:42:06 UTC  

Alot of nationalists in ni are adamant about teaching gaeilge in schools

2018-05-07 13:43:27 UTC  

that might be it, but how much in Scotland?

2018-05-07 13:43:41 UTC  

although Scotland seems eager to leave anyways

2018-05-07 13:44:12 UTC  

After the independence vote failed people were rioting

2018-05-07 13:44:52 UTC  

haha thats right, and i think since they want to remain in the EU brexit probably changed the situation

2018-05-07 13:45:37 UTC  

even alot of people in london wanted independence

2018-05-07 13:45:50 UTC  

as london is essentially a city state

2018-05-07 13:45:55 UTC  

Yes but thats never going to happen

2018-05-07 13:46:05 UTC  

they would nuke the city before releasing it

2018-05-07 13:46:12 UTC  

its the cashcow of England

2018-05-07 13:46:23 UTC  

true

2018-05-07 13:46:46 UTC  

it would probably just become a police state

2018-05-07 13:48:13 UTC  

it would be a mix of complete military occupation and intense martial law, to keep security for investors up

2018-05-07 13:48:26 UTC  

true

2018-05-07 13:48:40 UTC  

at the minute though, england has no police

2018-05-07 13:48:40 UTC  

their terrified of the finance sector moving to Frankfurt

2018-05-07 13:49:14 UTC  

Dont say that, private police will probably be twice as effective, and 4 times more brutal

2018-05-07 13:49:47 UTC  

and they will recieve funding from finance and so on

2018-05-07 13:50:59 UTC  

Its essentially going back to feudalist police

2018-05-07 13:51:36 UTC  

They don't care for anything other than profit

2018-05-07 13:52:24 UTC  

yup

2018-05-07 13:53:27 UTC  

I wonder how the world will look in 10-15 years, there seems to be great upheaval in all western nations

2018-05-07 13:54:00 UTC  

will there be a collapse or will we just exist in some weird neoliberal dystopia

2018-05-07 13:54:44 UTC  

the tech to combat riots and too conduct intelligence seems insurmountable to me

2018-05-07 16:14:20 UTC  

If Scotland becomes independent, we turn fascist and make them VERY dependent

2018-05-08 00:40:59 UTC  

Tf

2018-05-08 00:41:08 UTC  

Yes

2018-05-14 17:46:16 UTC
