Since the big problem this country faces is the national debt maybe we should start a fund for our donations in order to pay some of it off, a kind of voluntary tax giving instead of charity giving. Much has been said elsewhere in this forum about looking after our own country first. Other countries would be happier to have trade agreements with us if we were more financially stable. How about 0.01% of each person's total wealth? Well you did ask what we could do for our country! :woot::bag:

I'm moving to Scotland, not because of vote, I'm going home.
I need to sell my house, buy a smaller one in Scotland.
I'm hoping to get a commune started, if I can get property with potential, I want to have craft workshops and a Scottish history centre (there is a lot of English history wrapped into that) and some holistic therapies. I've already got 2 other families interested in the idea.
If I sell before end of year I could be up and running by next summer

If you do it that fast, you may qualify for an EU grant for a business start up.......

When people who know nothing about the LCHF diet tell me I'm killing myself being on it. I was killing myself not being on it!

PS: I have previously mentioned that, because Mrs h-c was born in Derry, both she and our kids are entitled to Republic of Ireland passports and we're in the process of sorting them out at the moment. I guess the other thing I might try and do is to obtain Irish nationality for myself as well, then we can all move there. (I'm joking - but only a bit).

Unfortunately I don't qualify in the same way, as my ancestors (with the exception of an American Great Grandfather and a Hungarian Great Great Aunt :)) have all lived in the UK for centuries. I guess the only way I'd qualify would be if we do genuinely move to the ROI, when I can get a passport after 5 years' residence, I think.

I love travelling in Europe (particularly France) and I'd like to have an EU passport for that reason alone, never mind any other considerations, so I guess that's something I'd like to work towards over the next 5 years.

I had a holiday in Dublin back in March, by myself as my husband didn't want to go. It was one of the best holidays I've ever had. Next visit to ROI I will travel further afield. Was in Carlow and Kilkenny 39yrs ago, probably changed since I was 21!

Well, as an American, not much I can do. I'd say I buy a few British goods but the only British store I know about, which used to be located in Wye, Maryland, famous for a working grist mill and for having the former largest oak in the country, has closed down and only a small remnant of that mighty oak is still living although its tiny acorns are making new oaks. Maybe that's what your initiative is all about. Damage has been done, but the oak can live on by planting its famous acorns. Maybe Americans and Canadians can join together with the Scots, Brits, Irish, Welsh. All our economies except the Aussies and Kiwis have been outsourced and decimated. But Canadians, Canadiens and Americans and our natives are mostly immigrants and transplants and migrants. We are all capable of rebuilding from scratch and have enough resources so to do Maybe new alliances? Maybe new alliances in general with countries not accorded the privilege of joining the EU? Maybe how we plant and tend what we produce from the acorns?
