Being a native born Texan, I've long had a romantic affection for the idea of Texas seceding from the Union & becoming an independent nation of its own. Most Texans are fiercely independent & most feel the same way, but due to the immigration of so may Californians, fleeing their oppressive state government with ever increasing taxes & regulation, & Michiganders, fleeing their failed economy due to the loss of the manufacturing industry, our population has become quite diluted with Liberal minded folks who flee the damage they've caused in their home states, to a state that doesn't suffer those ills, only to immediately begin supporting precisely the same policies that ruined their state of origin.
It seems Great Britain may be suffering the same plight. I don't know much at all about the internal issues of GB. I only known what I see & hear on TV & the Internet, most of which is skewed one way or the other & hardly unbiased. So, I'm not sure what to think of Brexit, though, deep down, I favor any people who love independence & have a desire to 'make it on their own' & run their lives themselves.
There has been an active secession drive ongoing in Texas for years, called The Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM). I'm a contributor, though of late, I've become a bit disillusioned by comments coming from the upper echelons on their vision of a free Texas. They're starting to sound a bit Utopian & I fear they've been bitten by the bug to trend away from what made the United States the most successful nation in the history of the world, until recently, that is.
I know there are a lot of Brits here. What are your thoughts, if you dare to share them, that is.
