  • Do you identify Catalunya as a nation? Or Scotland?

    Today I don't think either are a nation, no. They might have been in the past and could be again today but aren't right now. If they were to become independent nations in the future they might have different boundaries to before too.

    I sometimes think in the British Isles we are a little more convinced a nation is a fixed thing because of the sea. The people of Alsace-Lorraine might feel differently.

    Moving to an EU country with land borders was a real eye opener. I think it's a shame that most people in the UK will never really get to feel 'European' because of this.
