To want Scotland to invade the North of England?

Having been royally shat on by the English government during this whole Covid debacle, I'm wondering whether it would be fucking fantastic if Sturgeon and her gang stampeded down to maybe the River Tees and just took the lot for Scotland's own.

Anyone still northern but further south than the River Tees who would campaign for them to move the border even further south?

Take Manchester please!

It did cross my mind today to write to Nicola Sturgeon and say, "if you get independence for Scotland, can we please come with you?" The part of Yorkshire I live in is exactly as close to Edinburgh as it is to London.

SNP are destroying Scotland
Wee Nippy is a fucking dictator
And I don't want their drug issues either - I wonder why there are so many more substance users north of the border.

Would we be forced to wear white stilettoes ?
Dunno - but somebody really needs to show her how to walk in them. It’s like watching bambi with the no knee bend 🤭

Why join scotland, let's just be independent..

MrsBlue4 · 17/12/2020 21:51

Sturgeon talks a good game but the SNP are a disaster in Scotland!

CheeseIsMyVice · 17/12/2020 22:09

I’ll get absolutely annihilated for saying this, but I’m in Scotland and Nicola Sturgeon is absolutely panning this. Many think she’s a hero but she absolutely isn’t. Can’t be arsed pulling up all the statistics because I always it didn’t, but just take the latest example of drug deaths for one. Highest in the world. The SNP have halved their funding in over 29 years. Yet they can afford indyref2? Really?

Stay where you are OP because if independence comes I’ll be coming to join you Wink

CheeseIsMyVice · 17/12/2020 22:11

Don’t you love it how phones know best?

I always it didn’t = I get told off

MeowMeowLikeACow · 17/12/2020 22:12

Cumbria. Yes please. Half of England thinks the border is somewhere near Kendal anyway when looking at the map.

TrainspottingWelsh · 17/12/2020 22:13

It would be worth it to see the poison dwarf and Priti vile Patel attempting to do battle in their heels. I would pay good money to see them both trying to run at each other down the cobbled streets of York.

The way I see it is we have middle child syndrome.

I think we get the shit end of England but I think we would always be English to our lovely Scottish neighbours. So really a no win either way.

They may treat you with disdain but at least they seem to know you exist.

Try being the Midlands! Grin

If she brings whisky, oatcakes, salmon and shortbread, I will wave her through.

DimidDavilby · 17/12/2020 22:26

Please Nicola, come and take us! I've been saying this since the first refurendum (Durham native here).

Kaliorphic · 17/12/2020 22:28

No thanks. Nicola couldn't fight her way out of a paper bag let alone occupy northern England.

CardoMondo · 17/12/2020 22:29

Lol England would wipe the floor with Scotland. Wouldn’t be worth the bloodshed.

Amanduh · 17/12/2020 22:30

Hahahaha look at your tax and then every single thing to with education or health, poverty rates, and being one of the worst quality of life areas in the WORLD... Then look at records and deaths from drugs and covid and... enjoy 🤣🤣🤣

CharityEscapeGoat · 17/12/2020 22:33

It's a no from me. I'm Northern. I'd definitely support a coup or something against the government though.

DigitalGhost · 17/12/2020 22:37

Rather an independent Yorkshire with Sean Bean as King. 😂

If you look past the SNP propaganda, the Scottish government is actually doing worse at managing the pandemic than the UK one. It may seem hard to believe but it's true.

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 17/12/2020 22:40

Have you met Nicola Strugeon? Nah, you’re alright. And none too keen on your new anti free speech bill.

RichPetunia · 17/12/2020 22:44

Please don’t. I love the north of England and would hate it to be filled by Scottish SNP twats.
(And I’m Scottish).

NanaRant · 17/12/2020 22:55

come away in

Flaxmeadow · 17/12/2020 23:18

whisky, oatcakes, salmon and shortbread

None of which are particularly Scottish. Haggis was a North of England dish originally and bagpipes were played allover the British isles, Tartan was worn far and wide across Europe too

@Allmyfavouritepeople

I'm all for it (Lancashire here) Free prescriptions Free university tuition Schools aren't as much of a pressure cooker A leader that appears to value the lives of her constituents.

I'll take it!

A leader that appears to value the lives of her constituents. Have you seen Govanhill? No? well I suppose she hasn't either. A party that prioritises one thing above all else and to the detriment of everything else. The only place sturgeon should be is jail!
