QUESTION:

Hi Martin.
In your recent blog posts, you talk about the possible timing of the break up of Britain but you talk about that in terms of the regionalisation or break up of England only. Have you not said before that Scotland is likely to become independent sometime in the next few years? Perhaps you could explain how that possibility fits in this process?
Thanks

ANSWER:

There are two expansions on the island of Britain. The more commonly know is the formation of the United Kington which too place in 1707 under Queen Ann. That saw Scotland under English Rule3. However, before the reign of Eadgar (959-975 AD), England was divided into Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. It was Eadgar who instituted a uniform coinage throughout the land. While Eadgar set the pattern for the ‘reformed’ coinage of the later Anglo-Saxon and Norman period and standardized the use of the king’s portrait as in old Roman tradition.

If we look back in time, we see that the first Anglo-Saxon kingdom to really become powerful was Mercia. It was the King of Mercia who was the one who actually resurrected the old Roman Empire monetary system for all of Europe. We see that Offa was the first king to put the portrait of his wife on the coinage as was the tradition in the Roman Empire.

Additionally, it was Offa who actually issued the first gold coin after the fall of Rome. He was copying the Islamic gold coin for trade. He inscribed his name on the coinage, which is extremely rare.

Therefore, there are two break-ups that Britain face. Eventually, the United Kingdom will break apart formally, but with the collapse of Brussels and the EU Project, we are also likely to then see AFTER 2032, the general trend toward decentralization of governments as a whole. Hence, we will see England break apart into the old Anglo-Saxon regions as we will see the United States break apart. This is the cycle of dissolution politically and then you begin again and reform nation-states in the next major cycle wave.
