When did that end?
ask some residents now, it never did

like many brettons that reside on jersey do so because the consider themselves british not french, and wish brittany would return to UK control.

I lived there 10 years and still talk to many friends there, many consider themselves more french than british

Do they want to pay VAT and income tax to the french government and give up their key sectors that could only exist in a tax haven?

It doesn't sound like a serious political campaign for separatism. It's just the Island's equivalent of green and gold scarves.

Ireland gained independence from being a bloody nuisance to control and govern, so obviously the UK government weren't going to give up control of Northern Ireland willing.

They gerrymandered the rump of Ulster to ensure a unionist majority, why would a crown dependency have been beneficial to ensuring the country stayed part of the UK.

The Crown dependencies each have their own unique relationship with the Crown. Making NI directly answerable to the Crown would have been a political coup for Irish Republicanism.

well you kept replying when I clearly said I had no skin in the game and just sked a random question, seemed lime you wanted a discussion that wasn't there.

maybe I was wrong.

though at least the last 4 page broke up the monotomy of this thread ;-)
 

Well here’s a collectors item, I completely agree with Rees Mogg and he sums up exactly my issues with it.

I logged on to say the same thing. It really comes to something when it takes Rees-Mogg to remind everyone of very basic principles of constitutional liberalism.
