George Galloway, leader of\u00a0the Workers Party of\u00a0Britain, made the prediction in\u00a0an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ria.ru\/20261012\/britaniya-2124026024.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">interview <\/a>with RIA Novosti.<\/p>\n<p>Galloway, who turned 72 this year, is\u00a0convinced that the breakup of\u00a0the United Kingdom is\u00a0inevitable. He\u00a0believes the country will become what he\u00a0calls \u00abLittle England\u00bb long before today\u2019s younger generations reach his age. According to\u00a0the politician, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will vote to\u00a0leave the UK\u00a0as\u00a0soon as\u00a0their residents are given another opportunity to\u00a0decide their future in\u00a0referendums.<\/p>\n<p>The British socialist considers the United Kingdom a\u00a0failed state that younger generations increasingly want nothing to\u00a0do\u00a0with. He\u00a0argued that people under 50 overwhelmingly support independence for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, despite the potential economic consequences.<\/p>\n<p>Galloway also pointed to\u00a0the growing strength of\u00a0pro-independence political movements across the three nations. He\u00a0sees no\u00a0prospect of\u00a0this trend reversing.<\/p>\n<p>In\u00a0September, leaders representing Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland signed a\u00a0memorandum on\u00a0the right to\u00a0self-determination, opening the possibility of\u00a0referendums on\u00a0independence.<\/p>\n<p>On\u00a0October 12, Galloway, a\u00a0seven-time member of\u00a0the British House of\u00a0Commons, delivered a\u00a0lecture on\u00a0the future of\u00a0BRICS at\u00a0the Russian Cultural Center in\u00a0Beijing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"George Galloway predicts the breakup of the United Kingdom, warning that Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland could vote&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":800908,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-800907","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/800907","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=800907"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/800907\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/800908"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=800907"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=800907"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=800907"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
