@frankconway - how very dare you!

A long time ago I was in a pub in Belford and some very, drunk and bored local lads were trying to provoke trouble with me and my mates and we ignored them. About 15 mins later the big alpha male of the pack came back across and called us all sorts and smashed a bottle on the table but what really riled me was being called a southern poof because I just laughed at them and wouldn't fight them.
Being originally from Manchester and a very proud Northerner, I was enraged by being called a S****erner .... it's a question of context.

As a Scot living in Northumberland for 13 years - I can confirm that Northumberland is basically South-South Scotland.

Has a lot more in common with the Scots than it does with the South.

When IndyRef1 was big news, a good number of mates here did say "Can you take us with you when you go?"

Indeed it is. Equality of (some) funding going forwards is not equity after decades of under-investment.

If the government is serious about the Rest of the Country - South East divide then they have to cut funding in SE and London and up the budgets in the North. For a few decades.

The government pointed to the tens of billions in support given to wages and businesses during the Covid crisis.

This reveals quite a lot. It was the same for everyone in Lockdown v1. When Tier 3 was being imposed they didn't want to know hence the Burnham led furore

I think you’ll find that Scotland is North-Northumberland

As far as I’m concerned most of the midlands should be with the north.
If the is the case then the capital should be at Eyam, as in the past it proved itself to be the least selfish place in the country.

I thought the boundary line was just South of Watford?

North of the Tyne, South of the Tweed. Anywhere else is the South or Scotland

Thats how facebook works Epicyclo. Try clicking on some unionist or tory pages and see how your feed changes 🙂 I recommend Ruth Davidsons page - it will be good for your blood pressure

ancient kingdom of northumbria included a big chunk of southern scotland did it not?

BTW - the north starts at Perth. I think you will find Northumberland is "down south"

It reads like a parody page, probably getting details of saps to milk for cash

Not even registered as a political party, considering the rag tag of parties listed, everything from Failsworth First to abolish this that or the other
