Well achmelvich, I don't really think the rest of the UK has very much going for it, the encouragement of cheap labour from abroad instead of realistic retraining programmes for our young folks, has led to a nightmarish racial landscape in England.
No thought was given to the long term effects of multiculturalism, and lack of integration.

Wales has very little to contribute the population being left to rot after the demise of engineering and mining.

NI is still a swamp of militant Unionism and resentful republicanism.

Sorry....they are all basket cases. Only Scotland has much to be positive about, and we have been thwarted for now by a posse of liars.
