I think he is referring to the UK.

Probably. That will go down well with the current anti-establishment sentiment that seems to be rising here.
Even the pet shop owner in our building is turning. And she is a proper hippy, lives with an African dude and has a grow room in the cellar.

Grow room...?

Not quite at the same level as the South Korea student riots.

Hopefully exactly what Wales, NI and Scotland will be doing, as the New Uk.
Looking on as little engerland founders under the weight of brexshits.

Romania has a certain appeal for me. Everyone under 40 is working flat out driving vans for DHL etc in London, and all that is left in Romania is grumpy old people. I think I'd make a half OK grumpy old Romanian. Some of the rural countryside is stunning.

I'm sure the EU will last longer than the UK the ways things are going. I can't see Scotland remaining in the Union if the Tories stay in power; Brexit will merely hasten its departure.

Lets see, if the EU implodes then a mischief making Putin and an increasingly assertive China will be easier to deal with? Thats the kind of long term thinking that is utterly devoid in the tabloid mentality right wing in the UK. You would rather see the UK and the rest of Europe subservient to powers that really are malignant than one that is malignant in your imagination only. I sometimes wonder if the ERG and the newspapers are in the pay of foreign powers as they seem to act mainly in their interest as its participants are such venal scum that you could run the whole thing on a budget of tens of millions if not a lot less.
Is that typical for your neighbourhood? Has his worldview been reflected in the local election results?

Absolutely. Europe represents a physical and political buffer between us and Russia. If the EU collapses in chaos, I’d expect a land-grab of the eastern accession states at the least: Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Finland, at least would come under threat. And even if physical annexation isn’t achieved, massive economic and political mischief would be waged. Is that what rcook wants? I rather suspect he hasn’t thought it through.

One thing to bear in mind is that the UK was never really "in" the EU as other nations are because of the Euro/£. Also, the whole lengthy song-and-dance about "Brexi" has left most Europeans irritated and bored and not really caring much what the UK does or does not do. Especially after BJ's brilliant handling of the Covid crisis, the UK tends to be seen as a ship full of loose cannons that it will be better to avoid having dealings with in the future.
