We live in interesting times. England out of the EU, while Scotland and Wales in the EU and Ireland reunited.

Is this the beginning of a Celtic renewal?

Oh yeah.
A YouGov poll.
Those are reliable.

More likely the appearance of a set of dependency states in the EU. There are significant parts of Wales and Scotland where more than 60% of all economic activity is directly state generated, i.e., England is directly supporting these regions financially, Ulster, particularly Belfast has been living off the English teat since before the Second World War. If these units become independent they will need another source of cash infusions. For that the EU will be happy to provide in return for abject submission to Brussels. The statists leadership in these areas will be fine with that.

Some 700 years ago, old King Edward wasn’t exactly kind in bringing Wales into the Kingdom.

What a load of crap. They must have done this poll in rural villages in North Wales to get a pro independence support of >20%. Theh know full well how dependent they are on the uk subsidies to stay afloat. Even to get from North Wales to Cardiff by rail or motorway requires you to go into England and changing at Crewe before going back into Wales. For someone who says Brexit will be a disaster for xyz reasons, you can capitalise them to XYZ reasons when it comes to leaving the UK, with the added fact that unlike the UK and the EU, the non English parts of the UK are heavily subsidised by London. The only part of the UK for which it would even begin to make sense to leave the UK is Northern Ireland because they are not as dependent on economic links with GB as the others are, but even then that would be frought with problems due to the fact the Republic would have to break it’s back economically to match public spending on the province, and they know it.

I am going to make a prediction here.

NI, and Scotland quit the UK and stay in the national socialist state of the EU.

England and Wales stay together and join in a joint union with the USA, Canada, Australia, and Maybe NZ.

Will take quiet a few years but that has been discussed at length some time ago with a Anglo-American union of sorts.

I think it was the Iron Lady who talked about it at one time.

Yeah, sure. They, along with England, voted for Brexit.

I know EU shills are salivating at any news that gives them hope that those that dared to defy that mighty Union will be punished.

Not if they're still under the EU's thumb.

So Wales demands a border with the UK, but daily I hear from NPR/BBCA that the Irish border with the UK is what makes a hard exit impossible....

Celtic renewal? In the EU? Scotland, Wales and Ireland had better enjoy the MASSIVE waves of Muslims that Germany (aka the EU) and Turkey are about to send their way. Enjoy the never ending suck. In two weeks England, thankfully, will no longer be subject to the tyranny of the EU’s globalist bureaucrats.

Plaid Cymru is a Communist Party. I’d love to see an independent Wales, but I wouldn’t trust Plaid Cymru, as much as I don’t trust the American Socialist Party (fka Democrat Party).

Any fantasies Yurps have about breaking up the UK are just that. Fantasies. A significant part of your would-be empire is leaving. Deal with it.

“Is this the beginning of a Celtic renewal?”

There have been signs of a Celtic revival in Brittany as well: http://eucenterillinois-language.blogspot.com/2014/12/defying-odds-resurgence-of-breton.html

Even Cornish is making a comeback: http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20180412-the-rebirth-of-britains-lost-languages
