We're all part of the same country. Some parts don't like other parts. Get over it.
However areas such as Scotland and Wales that receive a bigger share of the tax take whilst overall contributing less should quite reasonably be asked to up their game so they contribute more equally.
I don't have a problem with people based on their nationality or culture but on their contribution to society. These people hate me because I am English.

However it's difficult to make a major contribution to the national economy when all your infrastructure is confined to a narrow corridor in the extreme South of the country. There's a fabulous deep-sea harbour at Milford Haven that can take half-million tonne ships and makes Felixstowe look like a marina. It's joined to the rest of the UK by a winding two lane A road. Forty miles later, you get to a dual carriageway. Another 30 miles or so and you reach the M4.
As for the rest of Wales, there are two major north-south connections and no West-East ones. Hence a predominantly agrarian economy.Last edited by malvolio; 30 April 2021, 09:56.Blog? What blog...?Comment

So you don't think the regions should contribute as best they can?
Do you think regions should take more money for decades because they don't earn enough for themselves?
As they have actually said they hate the English my logic seems sound. I'm not that important that the whole of wales or Scotland know to hate me!Last edited by vetran; 30 April 2021, 11:22.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
