Since England proper seems Hell-bent on craddle-to-grave welfare and full capitulation to the Mohammadan Death Cult...I sure would want to break away from the narcotizing host and chart an independent course!

And William Wallace would be so proud...

Um, Scotland is even more of a welfare basket case and even more in bed with their future Islamic rulers.

Clusterf(ail) all around.

Scots, a failed people (http://www.suntimes.com/news/otherviews/22031823-452/modern-scotland-is-deep-in-socialism.html)

I take back the Islam crack.  It's growing for sure, but is still less than England.

OK, that makes sense, I didn't think Sharia friendly England was better off Muzzie-wise than Scotland...wonder if Ireland is about the same or not, I know their economy seems a little better, maybe they are not as full-blown socialist as Scotland or England...

It's hard finding a tribe in the Old Homelands of my ancestors that isn't already or on the way to becoming a leftist basket-case society...

It's more or less miniscule differences on the libiot scale more than anything, isn't it...?

Yeah, unfortunately it's a tall order finding any part of old Europe that still has a genuine interest in freedom of the individual and preservation of Western civilization.  Collectivism is so deeply "baked into the cake" there that your best bet would be to find the most agreeable version of collectivism rather than hold out hope for a renaissance of individualism.  People in Europe who thought like us got out and that's how we ended up here in the first place.

In my view Europe's only real hope will come in the form of ethnic and national identity, a conscious rejection of internationalism. It will undoubtedly remain socialistic, but maybe they can at least preserve the genetic hardware before it's too late.
