Independence movements, writ small

At some point, independence movements stop being realistic. This one for example, may be a step or two over the line:

A kilt-wearing Czech rebel, inspired by William Wallace, has been causing chaos in his home country.

Dubbed the Czech Braveheart, Alois Stuzka is staging a one man protest demanding independence for his home region.

Stuzka, 27, said: "I want to give people in my home area pride in their heritage just like the Scots."

He caused chaos as he sped along one of the country's main racing tracks on a child's scooter during the Motorcycle Grand Prix in Brno.

He then interrupted a premier league football match as he ran across the pitch during a game between Brno and Slavia Prague, also in his home town of Brno.
