Rooney's got a good barnet formula; decent thatch on the lad these days. Ask him.

At its very basic level there's a sense of entitlement in most parts of the country that you don't recognise in the north. They just suck it up and get on with it. Other parts of the country will continue to get themselves into debt with no regard for the future. That drives me bonkers.

You've blown your cover here.

The cut is not geographical, it's socioeconomic.

You, are mixing in one social circle in Scotland, and a different one in the south. And you are mistakenly extrapolating from there.

Hope this helps.

You can't force integration upon people. You'd think the empire would have learnt something from the olden days. And when they reject it they're called everything under the sun.

And yet we're still sending them "aid". Just think, when the Jocks finally get independence (nd I think they probably will, on the basis that if you keep asking the same question, eventually you'll get the answer you were hoping for) they'll be applying for "aid". They'll need it by then.

gives us somewhere to store the 'Syrians'

I've nothing wrong with a currency union, a single market, free movement of people who pay their way. Political similarities are important but must slower than slow in the making, they've been the principle reason for peace in Europe those past several decades.

so the United Kingdom then

Banks Accelerate Contingency Plans as Brexit Gets Real - WSJ

When Japan’s Daiwa Securities Group Inc. heard the British prime minister pledge on Sunday to prioritize controlling immigration in the coming Brexit negotiations, it didn’t wait to act.

The next day, staff accelerated contingency planning for the bank’s London investment banking unit and began to contact other European cities, according to a person familiar with the matter.

...oooh

Oh tosh. This is typical of a southerner professing to know the country inside out and never gone further north than Epsom. Even the north of England and it's people see the world quite different from those in the South.

I'll give you half a mark for spotting I'm a 'Southerner'. However, I've lived way outside the M25 for the last 18 years (admittedly with a couple of six month dips back into the South East). There are some wide-boys in London, but I think you'll find it also has its fair share of ordinary folk who just want to get on with things just like everywhere else. The real difference between the South East - because that's what you really mean by London - and the rest of the UK is the opportunities and wealth.

From where I sit Scottish Nationalism has more than a faint whiff of Irish Republicanism about it. Both are hardcore dogmas dressed up as fuzzy romantic socialism.

half my family are from up north its interesting how their sons all come down south to get jobs. They would work up there but apparently there are no jobs. However lots of immigrants have found work or started a business regardless of where they live.

As we know there are jobs of course, but nowhere near the number or salaries that London can offer. It's a trade-off. Personally, my wife is from where I am now and I really, really hated any kind of regular travel into London. Commuting in London crushes the soul no matter what the rate/salary.
