Surely more biting than hugging if NLyUK is involved (rather than NLUK who cries into his pillow)

This is clearly a sensible decision. Of course it is to be expected that people in England will simply parrot the views of the tabloid press,

Excatly, you'd have to drive in and in your own car. Hire a car, take a train, bus, walk or fly there and you'll be fine.

As Mal says, it's more nonsense posturing from the fish lady.

There was always the joke about London and the rest of the UK. But if we were to build a wall.... could we just build it just about now?

Maybe join the EU at the end as well...
