What, are you saying those poor Falklanders aren't British? 
But yes, point taken.
But yes, point taken. I think they probably qualify, from your list I'd say only Jersey doesn't 100% qualify as British.
Thank you very much for putting this song into my head again. 
Yup. Still speechless on this.
I don't think so either. For all the talk about separatist movements in Europe, I don't really think it's going to happen in either Catalonia, Flanders or Scotland. There's just no sense of urgency to it, and the regions in question have too much to lose and too little to gain.
No, I can't see any of them becoming fully independent, just potentially more devolved. It is interesting, if the Euro survives then the EU is likely to be gaining centralised powers at the same time as individual countries are giving it away to their regions.

Mostly that's an indication of just how desperate they were before that happened.
