Hmmmmm how do we go about this? What would the benefits be?

Could we be selective with Yorkshires actual borders? i.e. leave out Doncaster to the Southerners?

Would we have to start as a freedom fighter movement first?

Gods own country

Already in motion.

Deadicated campaigner here!!

Patrick Stewart or Dame Judi Dench for President

You have to start by ridding Yorkshire of people with suspiciously Eastern-european sounding names. Compile a big list of them, then burn their houses and rape their wives. They'd soon get the message.

No need for freedom fighters, you can have it 😉

It'd be the one part of the country I'd gladly see devolve…fully. With closed borders…and you have to keep Doncaster 🙂

Thats possibly the funniest thing you've ever posted!

No. We don't want Doncaster. Its a dank place. Negotiate? We could meet in the middle and simple destroy Doncaster then drive its people south (or east or overseas).

What about middlesburgh. going to claim that or not?

I like to refere to these people as "worker ants" our kingdom needs them

Its people who refere to a bath as Barf or the similar that need rounding up and kicking out,

We can deal with the scotish becuase there are laws already set in place.

Its not in Yorkshire so No

I guess devolution of Yorkshire would half the number of teenage pregnacies in the UK overnight.

Middlesbrough? Eh? Its tyne-side?

I may be thrown out for this but parts of Lancashire should be welcomed as a satellite-branch of 'Greater Yorkshire'.

nothing wrong with Doncaster!

Half of it used to be did it not? Pre 1974

Is boro not classed as cleveland?! Land of the nappy ripper!

What about single speeders, the countryside dosent really suit them. They should be removed as well.

what would be the national anthem?

my vote would be theme tune from last of the summer wine

Fly the Flag every chance you get ….

It'll be in my window again on August 1st

Yorkshire born n bred … and PROUD of it !

( MOT )

how doesn't it?

Sir you have insulted me. 😈

I thought it went:

Yorkshire born,
Yorkshire bred,
Strong in the arm,
And thick in the *

*can't remember what rhymes with 'bred'

Anyhow, good luck with the devolution. An economy based around the export of On-Ones couldn't be too bad. 🙂

Oh, hang on, its up north isnt it. OK, Luddites and Single speeders are allowed then. It will make it attractive for tourists.

what would be the national anthem?

Naturally a brass band OR a good folk band?

If we ever went to war with the US the US would target open-air Ale festivals with their drones for maximum kills? 😯

Class. I forgot all about that gem!

Will Derbyshire get it's bit of Sheffield back first? (Not that we really want it, just being argumentative 😀 )

What about national dress ?

"If its outside Yorkshire its not worth visiting"

"If its outside Yorkshire its not worth visiting"

That's the one 😆

Load of bollocks – reinstate the ancient kingdom of Northumbria – that'll give em something to worry about! 😈

how much money does Yorkshire generate itself, enough to sustain itself without outside assistance? Doubt it.

"Under Roman rule, the high profile of the area continued; the fortified city of Eboracum (now known as York) was named as capital of Britannia Inferior"

I'm assuming you will keep this title under the new arrangements?

We'll live on sheep and when they run out we'll live on cheese.

Are we to keep hold of Bradford aka Bradistan?

Could turn it into a giant curry factory I suppose

An independent Yorkshire will follow the so-called "icelandic model", majoring on financial services, tourism and fish.

Further proposals:
1. Our army will also showcase and act as advisors to other armies on how to fight properly.
If our Army is busy, foreign dignitaries will be brought along to Friday/Sat nights in towns locally to observe.

2. Workshop/Lessons on racism will be held in Leeds.

3. All Manchester United fans will be asked to switch allegiance or actually relocate and live in Manchester.

Scotland reckon they'll fine on their own. So by that i think "it'l be reet"

We have plenty of Cheese and beer.

reinstate the ancient kingdom of Northumbria

Actually Northumbria was annexed by Scotland in 2006, just after SSUK. We're just waiting for the paperwork to come through about this.

what would be the national anthem?

I'd go with the them tune form the Flumps
