Interestingly enough that was how the SWP/IS described their vision of socialism ( in contrast to the USSR etc) when interviewed after the Lewisham / NF clash

Look out, he's got a gnu!
I can feel my Lancashire ancestors being torn between agreeing with this and telling it to fuck off if they are going to share a stage with bloody Yorkshire.
only dickheads give a shit about this kind of nonsense, so you're all good jumping in

I think it was Kropotkin (one of the classic anarchist beards) who also had good things to say about it (with provisos). Its the model id most like to see... Clearly achievable.

Based on graphs of number of Covid-19 patients in hospital, I would rather the project have greater ambition and reach by including the midlands. Been screwed by Southern-focussed decisions and timing.

Perhaps it's just Northumbria getting nostalgic for the days of Bretwelda...

Everyone knows the correct border runs just north of Gloucester and Henley-in-Arden then south of Corby to The Wash.

we've done this before but
Social geographer Danny Dorling did a very thorough study using a variety of sociocultural measures to decide where the line was
he concluded
by interesting coincidence this nearly matches the line where the glacier reached during the last ice age

not necessarily a coincidence - I read an interesting twitter thread about how the democrat-voting counties in some southern states in the US match a map of how the area was in the cretaceous - check it out:

If they can raise enough funds, they could get a design agency in London or in Scotland to do it, so that it would be done properly and people would take them seriously. They'll won't though - inevitably they'll cut off their nose to spite their face.

Maybe we'd cut out some tumours like you at the same time though.

Yeah - Lancashire versus Yorkshire is a bit of ribbing and sporting rivalry. I'm happy to hug a Yorkie.
It's really dull and worthless even just as ribbing and sporting rivalry though. Lots of people take that stuff seriously and it's not always easy to tell how light-hearted they're being.

Hold on, that's a snapshot of the Last Glaical maximum (Devensian) from about 28kya. You could just as easily selected the UK's actual glacial spatial maximum from earlier in the Pleistocene (Anglian) glaciation (478-424kya) when the ice front stretched from the the Isles of Scilly and the Western Approaches,across to South East England where it diverted the River Thames from its old course through the Vale of St Albans south to its present position.we've done this before but

So, I'm not quite sure this glacial determination has much credibility, tbh!
Have you Northern types considered the Danelaw demarcation yet?

Last time I was home I went for a drink with my Grandad and his mates and one of them said - 'I'm friends with people from anywhere me, even Yorkshire'. It's embedded in Northern discourse. It's okay sometimes.
When I was in Manchester during a derby match day a couple of years ago, I saw a grown man screaming abuse at a teenaged girl because she was wearing a Manchester City shirt. 'Ribbing' and 'Sporting Rivalry' can get to fuck.

Reminds me of a holiday i had in Lancashire...we were staying just north of Lancaster, one junction further up the M6.
Decided to go into Lancaster for the evening, asked the woman behind the desk at the hotel if she could recommend anywhere to go/see/do in Lancaster.
Her answer "Lancaster? Why do you want to go there? Its shite!"
Never mind Yorkshire, two miles down the road was too foreign

That basically my psychogeographic minds map of England, with Wales a separate thing though. And south central/south east london too.
Essex is definitely nothing to do with the south

Didn't the kingdom of Northumbria stretch from the Humber to the Forth? He'll have to fight Nicola Sturgeon for Edinburgh
I've always mentally drawn the north-south line from the wash to the wirral.
E2a: The Trent and Mersey canal is maybe a better dividing line.
