I've heard the north is nice. Never been there myself but I do hear it's nice.

This is not of course true. I've worked in Leeds and Bradford and Liverpool and Manchester and a tonne of other places up north. The people seemed pretty decent to me.
By decent does it mean they wear clothes and or furs to cover certain parts?.

I think you'll find that overall the cash flow is from the south to the north. Like it is from the UK mainland to N. Ireland for example. We have more money down here because there are more higher paying jobs. Which generates more cash in taxes etc. Which gives us more money to spend. I could be wrong but I don't think I am.
There is another possibility of course. That the people closer to the seat of power,eg the Home Counties, have systematically gamed the system so that those on the peripheral areas are denuded of investment .

200 to 117 the Maybot survives ..Mogg is moaning the the result is a terrible result and the 117 were on the payroll of May!
Right - about 150 were on the payroll one way or another (ie they worked for the government) - so of those left nearly 3/4 voted against her. She is further weakened.

Clutching at straws me thinks. London is a massive financial draw - a massive city in a small country. Nothing sinister about that - just the luck of geography and history.

I was not saying sinister, but look to the region's... Why is Wales and Scotland and certainly NI as poor as they are relative to London?. Why is it that consortia of London Dentists etc own vast tracts of Scotland?.

Sheesh. That's all such b*********s. Dominic Cummings in his blog has set this out a trillion times for people who have half a brain and a spec of interest in the truth to find out for themselves.
Strange that you fall for that utter fascist pillock and his lies, but then only people with half a brain would believe that squalid little plotter, as you did.
His blog is full of complaints about how his "Alternative futures" were stolen by the other plotters in the leave campaign.
Try reading his latest blog posts, and see the tenor of his attitude now
He is a very disappointed man, who had some interesting ideas.
His problem is the same as yours
No one around is capable of dealing with the problems Brexit will create.
If Cummings was half as clever as he thinks he is, he and you , should have foreseen the problem it's very much a case of

"It's hard to soar like an eagle when you work among Turkeys"

The rest of us did find out the truth his ideas were nonsense and the fact that he was used by the Leave campaign and discarded afterwards
And they kept him in the dark over much of what was being done,he was just a "Useful idiot" to them

Seriously? Why is Wales and NI and Scotland poorer than London? If you're not aware of the history of this country then I'm not sure I can help you. Study the history. Look at how London developed to become the city it is.

Read his blogs. Educate yourself.

In the Telegraph
"
Brexiteers are the only honest people left in Tory politics

Janet Daley

Halleluya! honest people in Tory Politics?
How dare you?

And in the Independent
"Theresa May’s victory in the vote of confidence does nothing other than draw attention to the weakness of the ERG, the club for fruitcakes, headbangers and eccentrics that has, basically, tried to hijack the Tories, the government and the country. They’ve had a good run, bluffing their way through life, although their war with May goes on. Having run away from the meaningful vote this week, which would have been a potentially career-ending event, she lived to fight and win another day. It arrived quickly. Her critics chose the wrong grounds at the wrong time. She beat them..

I like that: "The ERG, the club for fruitcakes, headbangers and eccentrics" :cool:
