  • Effect of a Free Yorkshire on a very much smaller UK

    Once we have independence in Gods country how will UK manage? There’ll be fighting to get into a Free Yorkshire.

    We’ll not be bribed by Osbourne, unless he gives free pints of Landlord.

    Return to Danelaw. Annex Cumbria, Northumberland and Derbyshire. And maybe North Lincolnshire as they talk similar.

    Return to Danelaw.

    Yes! Just look at how successful some of these small, independent, Scandinavian countries are etc…

    Plus they have cool hats and place names.

    Cornwall will be next.

    Whether they want it or not; cut the freeloaders loose!

    We need to recreate the traditional Northumberland, with everything between the Humber and Hadrian’s Wall.

    Are you sure we want Hull? or Hartlepool for that matter.

    Every where needs rubbish bits to remind you how good the Good bits are.

    Erm… this would lose us most of newcastle. I think we can do a little better than that:

    The Scots will re-start their raids into Northern areas so they’ll be leaving the rUK soon enough.

    The rest of us won’t have to suffer you telling us how great you/your piss poor, wrong side of the penines, inbred, insular, ignorant, 19th century, boorish, moronic, tight arsed county is..whilst drinking pints of beer the rest of us have bought you in a round you have no intention of returning?

    Excellent idea. ALthough Malvernistan isnt looking to cheerful as an independant Empire under Julius Augustus Stoner 🙁 We might need to annex Oxfordshire.

    It would be interesting to see if any particular towns in Wales, NI and NE England have zero GVA…

    I’m sure landed gentry like yourself can have dual citizenship.

    As long as you leave Cambridge out of it, you can have your inbred webfooted enclave!

    I agree. 60odd million as one unit is way too large, We should be a federation of smaller states (say 5-7 million each). I think Yorkshire fits right in there.

    Cornwall might be a problem. Very small population but probably wouldn’t want to be part of the same state as Devon.

    I fear that might cause a riot. But sounds like an interesting FOI request to Northumberland CC.

    It will if we get freedom for the ancient Kingdom of Wessex and slap a huge toll on the M5 (wales would also be in trouble when we do the same for the M4)….

    Effects on wider UK.

    ‘Happiness indices’ go up as 75% of the country’s moaning buggers will have gone.

    Generosity indices through the roof as well.

    And please don’t produce any demographic stats to contradict me – this is regional prejudice, plain and simple.

    Disclaimer – I’m only joking, I like Yorkshire a lot.

    Whatever it takes to keep the rest of you out.

    probably less jingoism, chestbeating and hackneyed colloquialisms.
    i’m all for it, build a big wall round it too if you like.

    You cant measure GVA at town level, you cant really measure it at a level below country but you can get a decent approximation down to regional level which is what you see in those figures.

    But I would not be surprised, but would be disappointed, if there were were towns that have had zero growth in GVA per head over the last 5-6 years due to a combination of recession and this governments policy decisions.

    Free Yorkshire would have had Geoffrey Boycott as King but I see that he has been using Feng Shui to help with his cancer recovery. Though pleased with his recovery, no true son of York would eat that foreign muck. He’s luck not to be banished to Blackburn.

    He wouldn’t have lasted long – Trueman, Close or Illingworth would have ousted him, lopped his head off and assumed the crown for themselves.

    Now for a vid of Freddie trying to congratulate Dennis Lillee on his 300th test wicket – but still managing to have a moan about the lack of recognition he got from t’committee. Classic.

    Yeah, but then a modern Athelstan will rise, off we go conquering Northumbria again, and we’re back where we started. There must be an easier way to guarantee getting rid of Yorkshire!

    Hmm, not so sure. Once Boycott is in it takes a hell of a time to get him out.

    Annex Cumbria

    Did that last Monday when we rolled into Keswick, unopposed.
    The locals, a friendly lot, think we’ve “moved” up here…… they’ll get the message when Mrs Sox runs the White Rose flag up the flag pole and we change the name of the house to “Howe Do”. 😈

    Aye lad, true enough about about Boycott. Why don’t we have Gary Verity as King, he knows a bit about how to attract big bike races to Yorkshires fair land. Much more importantly he know a lot about Yeou’s (ewe’s female sheep to the ignorant).

    Yeah, verily. Verity.

    If Yorkshire leaves the UK, does that mean Lancashire finaly wins the War of the Roses by default?

    And before we get into an argument about whether they’re doing it of their own free will should make it a win or not, I’d like to point out precedance by the following analogies:

    1) A reveler being ejected from a night club and retorting “I was leaving anyway”, the bouncer still wins.
    2) The B ark.
