You can hardly blame them.

13,127 supporters out of how many millions?

I had my doubts when MF said that the average Scottish IQ is less than 60, but you lads have cleared all my doubts

[woohoo]

Reasons why I don't go back oop North

1. It's cold
2. It's grim
3. Too many housing estates
4. Liverpool
5. The waiting in shops while the servers prattle on

Good for you, having a go at trolling.

It was only 6,000 yesterday. As with any campaign, it will take time to build and more publicity like this will help. The longer the Tories are in and the bigger the cuts will also see the numbers grow.

Obviously it won't happen in reality but people north of Watford Gap are heartily sick of everything being London centric.

[woohoo]

One time the north south divide was only in the mind, but not anymore . Geographically speaking Copenhagen and Newcastle share the same latitude, so how come Denmark's capital is head over heals better being that far up in the grim north? The simple truth is spending in the UK only favours one corner of it. Unlike here in Germany where spending on infrastructure is country wide, the UK has an incredible bias to only London with the argument that is where the wealth is generated. It seems to me Westminster gave up the idea of a united Kingdom long before devolution began.

I'm sure I was just reading in spiegel.de that the infrastructure in Germany is falling apart.

I doubt those 13,000 will continue once they watch the SNP try and escape from the Full Fiscal Autonomy they are supposedly about to be given....

North - Some amazing pockets that kick the ass of the South (e.g. Wilmslow area, due to ManU/Coronation Street etc money) but few and far between at moment.

Well, the discussions began .

What does the panel think?

Sorry thought this was another thread about NLUK.

Why would the SNP try and escape the FFA they've argued for? It will take a few years to transfer over so Barnett will reduce as the tax take is increased. We will run a deficit the same as most countries (why do the MSM and unionists call it a black hole in Scotland's finances and yet it's just a deficit in the UK's finances?)

We will find our level and balance the books as the Scottish parliament has done the last 8 years.

It's known as the 'core-periphery' effect.

It's as old as the hills. which is why 2,000 years ago all roads used to lead to Rome
and 1,000 years ago in Viking occupied Northern England, all roads used to roam to Leeds
