It is not uncommon these days for the United Kingdom (UK) media and establishment to acknowledge that the UK comprises more than one nation.

A press release from the political group Breizh Europa calls on all Bretons in Paris and all federalists to join the demonstration in support of Alsace at the National Assembly today, Tuesday 25 November at 14:30. They call for solidarity between the so-called minority cultures of France at this time when the government has shown its intent on destroying separate cultures, languages and identity. This is one of the driving forces behind the aggressive centralising agenda that has seen the territorial reform policy in France.

Having experienced the dreadful deluge of anti-independence propaganda that spilled from newspapers and the BBC during the Scottish referendum campaign it is clearly high time to try and redress the balance. This being the case a pilot has been started with the aim of launching new pro-independence daily national newspaper for Scotland - The National. 

The Nova Scotia Highland Village Society has announced its inaugural scholarship award as part of its Treasures of Youth (Stóras na h-Òigridh) program. This program is another sign that the struggle to restore Scots Gaelic to its rightful position in Nova Scotia is gaining steam. The Society’s scholarship fund was created to ensure that cultural skills based on Gaelic traditions continue to flourish with youth in Nova Scotia

Breton Reunification: Deeply Disappointing Result

Yesterday (20th November 2014) members of the French Parliament (l’Assemblée Nationale) voted not to support Breton Reunification.

The French PS (Parti socialiste) majority in the lower house of the French Parliament approved the second reading of the new territorial map of metropolitan France yesterday reducing the number of regions from 22 to 13. With astounding arrogance they ignored the wide scale demands by the people of Alsace to retain their historic and cultural identity. This was at the same time that they rejected calls for the reunification of Brittany. They have trampled over Alsace and it will be merged into a new eastern region, along with Champagne-Ardennes and Lorraine.
