Perhaps Pro-EU Pro-Indepedence Scots should buy Bulgaria.

Argh.

I saw a really good article ages ago about places in Italy doing the exact opposite: taking in refugees. The older people in the village taught them about the local customs, which sure, are going to change with the addition of outsiders, but better customs that change a bit than die out completely, surely? Besides, hardly the first time that a place's customs are altered by incomers -- that's how culture evolves anyway.

The Bulgarian end game will be that the right-wing government embraces Chinese money, allowing the Chinese goverment to build factories and bring in labor to produce goods inside the EU border. This is running on a small scale in Italy and Greece now, but Bulgaria is a sitting duck for a takeover.

topum posts a lot about Moldova, and has mentioned the same kind of depopulation there - young people leaving for work opportunities in other countries, leaving only the old people and sometimes their own children behind.

Well that's depressing, on a personal level.
