This just plain wrong!

Most of them don't even know how indoor plumbing works.

Quite right - we are able to afford a plumber for such tasks.

At what place does "Up North" start? Southerners would say Watford, Northerners would say Sheffield. I would say Derby? (Coming from the midlands).

North Circular Road

That's a bit too far in my mind. The 'wrong' side of the Marylebone Road is a bit iffy to me.

Not only is it ‘political correctness gone mad’ but a danger to us all and must be stopped.

Telegraph: Discrimination against northerners to be banned

Damn it! They don't get the jobs for a very good reason! Most of them don't even know how indoor plumbing works.

**** off!

No doubt they will have to pay some numpty £100k per year as head of "Northern Engagements" to manage a team of consultants to find out.

Where do I apply?

Maybe the lack of Northerners on London based bodies such as the 'Arts Council' is something to do with the fact that we don't like stinking, overpopulated, impersonal cities like London full of gobsh1te cockneys (although we have to put up with the latter every time the scum have a home game).

As Equalities Minister though you would expect there was little else to do but go around seeking potential inequalities.

What a farce. Talk about not seeing the wood for the trees!
When the office is in London you are likely to get Londoners filling the positions. There is no requirement to have an understanding of the "application" in most of these jobs.
Try distributing your departments accross the country, possibly placing some in sensible regions. It would make sense to have a Scottish Office based in Scotland. Why have the ministry for agriculture based in a city? Then you might get soem local or subject specific knowledge too.
