Invade London, bunch of Southern Softies.

Bomb Brighton.

Naturally, I'd go along with that. And then, never mind Scotland, Yorkshire can have a referendum on independence.

The truth is that there are as many people living in Yorkshire as there are in Scotland, and I'm sure we'd make a good go of it unhindered by the soppy Southerners.

Well as large parts of Scotland and Yorkshire once belonged to Nomthumbria, im sure we left you with a bit of common sense.

New wall from Hull to the Lake district perhaps for a start.

I love us soppy southerners are hoping for less north south divide and the northerners are not keen it seems. Makes me see the light as to who creates this divide most.

Trouble is, I wouldn't trust any of our current local politicians or councillors to run things properly. If things were run like our local council it would be a total disaster.

Get rid of Con/Lab/Lib and all other shades of politicos and have a voted-in Roman Senate style administration that had the people's best interests at heart rather than their own. Abolish high wages and inflated expenses for those in charge - it should be an honour to be elected and serve.
