A couple of wee mistakes in these lyrics but here you go. Really worth a listen, I can't believe you don't understand so much of it xD

This map is overexaggerating things, Europe isn't divided that much - Spain would never fall apart this badly, absolute majority of the country doesn't want that and some most pro-crown regions are listed as separatist here (lol), also movements in some countries are absurd for various reasons and have no chances of succeeding, but some part of it is true. And as I see the authors of this map couldn't even place some of the movements listed in the link on the map, which tells a lot about these movements

Still, I believe that the current map of Europe is a bad joke and a change of quite a few borders would benefit everyone and relieve a lot of tensions. The only problem is that only a part of the continent is civilized enough not to turn such things into a bloodbath.

:) I did understand most of it, was trying to make fun of the accent ;) And I now I know what Caledonia means.

There are many reasons why and being able to watch all the shitstorm all around Europe - in Spain, Belgium, the Balkans waking up again most probably, maybe even Germany having to deal with separatists would also be fun and entertaining Agreed. Europe could be split up more potentially. Belgium could be gone for good.  That would be entertaining and no matter what happened - civil, but most probably all hell would break lose in the Balkans, as the Russians would no doubt aid the Serbians and fuel them to start doing what Russia is doing in Ukraine right now. And it wouldn't be pretty, knowing their temper. This is how it could look like:   http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_active_separatist_movements_in_Europe

Can't speak for other places but as far as i know Britain isn't quite that divided although places like Cornwall and Yorkshire seem quite keen on gaining autonomy. Italy isn't surprising though as it was split more or less like that till the 1860s. Italy could of easily not existed at all  

Cameron is gone and so are the fib dems, that is guarentueed. Although, don't expect much celebration with a milliband government. Labour are too similar to the conservatives now and UKIP and Green are just not big enough although i expect both to get a couple seats each as protest votes. 

The Loch Ness is awesome! 

Oooooh. Mocking my home accent, tsssss! 

I've skyped my dad and my brother tonight, feelings are generally quite dull all over Edinburgh. Damn shame. My country is more divided than ever. The "winners" in Glasgow have been showing themselves up, although that seems to just be a narrow margin of extreme unionists doing nazi salutes and chants and shit. 

Shaking my head for the future. Sold out by an ageing population who were feared for their pensions. 

There was a strong patriotic feeling in many Italian states, but differences were so wide that Italy would have needed to become a federation far more than USA or Germany. But the king of Piedmont was too greedy and power-hungry to let this happen and he annexed the other regions, imposing laws, rules and taxes that were really good only for Piedmont and a few parts of Lombardy and Veneto, but deleterious for example for my town, Genoa, and Naples, that in fact from then on almost always remained in a state of economic crisis, social unrest and perennial need of central state aid, while before the Republic of Genoa and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies (Naples, Sicily and the rest of Southern Italy), despite having too their share of problems in their poorest parts, were by far the richest Italian states.

Just came from the future.
Signs point to No.

Hey it's your fault, you never really finished your Scotish course thread!, ..... did you? ^_^

Yeh, I even stayed up late to see the results. I reckon that you got some rights devolved, ....didn't you? :/  Please don't charge all the guilt to the oldies, ......but I don't really know much, the only thing is that I sincerely hope that you guys get the best of this situation.
