I think it's just one guy on a bit of troll, but I'm into it.

I've no idea what drugs he's on, but I would love some samples.

 

[Kevbad the Bad]

As a Southerner, can I ask that once you have achieved independence would you invade the South, annexe it and then impose all your wacky radical ideas on a now cowed population?

 

[Smokeandsteam]

A welcome alternative for northern peddlers of exceptionalism. Far better than those ‘when Scotland votes for independence and cool third way neo-liberalism dressed up as radicalism can they also take Liverpool/Manchester/Newcastle’ types....

butter pie.

His policy proposals are all pretty much nailed on tbh. Definitely voting for this.

 

[kebabking]

I follow him on Twitter....

I also follow donaeld the unready, and Vlad of the rus, as well as Henry VIII and Richard III which shows you that I'm so at the beating in heart of contemporary politics.

Where’s his proposed border? The Thames? The Trent? The Tyne?

Splitting Doncaster from Scunthorpe, very crafty.

Didn't the kingdom of Northumbria stretch from the Humber to the Forth? He'll have to fight Nicola Sturgeon for Edinburgh

sounds reasonable

 

[Serge Forward]

Northumbria? Pah!

Will you be joining? I'm sure some posters would be happy to see you in the NIP.

Passport control at Crowle, quarantine on the Isle of Axholme.

To the death with blunt spoons.

 

[Plumdaff]

Here they are making the case

As a Mercian now living with the Celts, I have to say that's not half bad.

Should organise a Pilgrimage of Grace.

The harrying of the south

Yes let’s restore the monasteries and return all their lands and silver.

Putting roofs on them would be a start...

Just as the NIP isn't purely about politics, the Pilgrimage of Grace wasn't purely about religion.

Better than divvying them up among the Blairite-Cummings tendency court and hangers on.

He gets a surprising number of good points into that short clip.

Not sure how much scrutiny it will survive, but I do admire his ability to get stuck in with a smile on his face.

It's a good time for bold political visions I guess because people are up for something positive and different and non-covid and non-Brexit...

A small step closer to Swiss style federalism...

 

[brogdale]

Any call on the currency?
Going to the Euro with Sturgeon?

 

[Combustible]

sounds reasonable

A potential exclave

I'm up for the return of the groat.

 

[LDC]

I'm not joining in while Manchester is involved. Otherwise we have our battalions of attack ferrets standing by for duty here in Yorkshire. Just give the word.

Great article that, might need a bit of tweaking to be a manifesto, few specificities and what not too many, but a decent vision well articulated.
