CW: English independence
Rather than having referendum on NI or Scotland or Wales remaining part of UK why not cut to the chase and declare English independence?

CW: End of the UK
31st of December marked the 30th anniversary of the break-up of Czechoslovakia to form the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Independence is way more normal than press would have us believe.
