Brexit Thread

[Husar]

Because, to date, London has not exercised sovereignty independently of England.

Well, there used to be the Kingdoms of Wessex, Mercia, ....

Wessex became England, and Wessex was the one that turned a large walled settlement into it's capital. Before that it was tossed around between sussex and the danes IIRC.

Going to go all EU-style on you and just dismiss everything you bring up even if it makes sense, and call you a hippie if I don't have an answer.

You're still wrong, you hippie.

Freedom for Sussex! Let Mercia take back control! Northumbria for Northumbrians!

You are doing it wrong, I am supposed to be the fascist in the Grand-EU Theater.

I dont think there are all that many people in my area who knows that Essex used to be a kingdom either. Honestly the idea seems about as absurd as meccan independance from Arabia.

As does the idea of Britain prospering independently from the rest of Europe.
But look at the cultural differences, not only does London have a completely different culture from Wessex, they also don't speak the same language as they do in Manchester. London could take back control of its money by parting from the rest of the annoying bunch. Manchester could then raise the taxes for the rich to benefit its working class, especially because there'd be no rich people left to complain. Wessex could just bask in its nationalist glory without having to share it with others and so on.

According to your own political theory, I can easily out-fascist you if I just move a bit to the left from a socialist position.

It's idiots like those in Cornwall and Sunderland who deserve to be cut off. I've already cited Cornwall's gall at voting out and demanding that Westminster make up the shortfall resulting from discontinued EU subsidies. Workers at a car plant in Sunderland have also proudly voted out then complained when the company hinted that it may move its operations continent-side as a result of likely subsequent different trade conditions.

IA is right, socialism is dead. There is no reason for those who make money to subsidise those who don't. Let the west and north make of life what they will, with the profitable south east breaking off.

Suck it up mate.

Winchester or Camelot?

Let Mercia take back control!

They will once they choose someone named Offa for their leader.
