Independence for Yorkshire

[clearedforlanding]

It's about time that Yorkshire had a referendum. I doubt there would be much objection.

[Soho]

Yorkshire have started on a good note. Kudos to them...

So which one is Yorkshire

Repressed Minority - nope
Indépendant Nation - nope
Stateless people - nope

Oh wait it is none of the above - and if any if the people of Yorkshire think they are in any of those groups they have seriously misjudged what the people who do belong to those groups have to go through on a daily basis.

It helps if you quote the full info from CONIFA, so the same way Basque and Catalan have "international" teams, it's a bit of fun, who so serious!

Yorkshire is bit like the Golgafrincham-B. Lancashire sends all it idiots to Yorkshire, hence the saying Yorkshire folk are just like Lancashire folks b'out brains.

IT idiots?

That's easy. Because Yorkshire is fantastic. And the North Riding is the most fantastic bit of fantastic Yorkshire.

Much better to have a free, open and democratic vote, as the UK did with the Scots and allow the people to make the right choice. Which in the UK's case, they did.

And in Scotland's case too.

Indeed and the Germany government made that sort of thing illegal - or it is off to ze camps with you.

Didn't they learn anything from the Spanish? Much better to have a free, open and democratic vote, as the UK did with the Scots and allow the people to make the right choice. Which in the UK's case, they did.

Independence for Yorkshire

All the text books used in local schools would have to be replaced....

[tomtomagain]

God doesn't exist

Well, in that case, how come Yorkshire exists?

and if she did

Why do you think God would have a gender?

why would she prefer one piece of land above another

That's easy. Because Yorkshire is fantastic. And the North Riding is the most fantastic bit of fantastic Yorkshire.

[Eirikur]

People from Yorkshire don't need independence.

Because we are already independent in thought and deed and hailing from Gods own country we are uniquely blessed.

Bavarians on the other hand ....

God doesn't exist and if she did why would she prefer one piece of land above another?
