The same principle of pooling and sharing applies also to some of the English Regions.. Just shows the benefit of one big country. Most of the wealth emanates from London and the South East. Does pooling and sharing mean dumping you with a (supposed) large deficit? Sounds rubbish. Surprised to see an arch Tory like yourself advocating for subsidies. Your chums in middle England are cottoning onto this nonsense and will gleefully vote to get rid of Scotland. Britain is dead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect Device Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 England should really just tell us, Wales and Northern Ireland to f**k off. Just leeching off the 'prosperous' English. Although spending per head is higher in London. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You voted for Brexit (despite figures showing the UK was a net beneficiary of the EU). You don’t believe in pooling and sharing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the argument can be made that we are all part of Europe or even the world. The alternative argument would be that I should only share and pool resources in my own house. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, and the answer is very simple. Britain. Along with our kith and kin in England, Wales and Ulster. From Thurso to Truro and Parkhill to the Shankill.

Jeff Venom Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I believe in sharing and pooling of all resources in our universe for the benefit of the whole of our universe. Not those mucky furrin universes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since this is primarily a football forum, England is classed as a foreign country. When I applied for ticekts for the Champions league final at hampden, it was one of the only online forms which gave me the chance to put Scotland as my country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He inevitably slides into it, more and more deeply, to get bites - it’s why every sock puppet account goes the same way in the end. To keep that sweet sweet attention rolling in, he seems unable to rein himself in (unlike the masterful DPB, who has the befuddled, disingenuous “how could possibly take that in a bigoted way?!” schtick down to a fine art). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not quite as simple as you appear to suggest. Incidentally "kith & kin" does not reflect everyone's situation. I have one Spanish relative (a brother in law). On his own, he outnumbers all my NI & Welsh relatives. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad’s cousin married a Spanish lady so I’ve got a distant-ish cousin in Pamplona. He has asked me to go and visit but I’ve yet to take him up on the offer. My ‘kith and kin’ remark was more about the country as a whole, and wasn’t intended to be exclusionary. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Ulster is the 9 counties, but many people refer to NI as Ulster on it’s own, hence UTV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since joining you've posted nothing of any value, been told this, and continued to complain about the amount of abuse you get. Why are you still here? You're not posting anything worthwhile and you're still complaining about the abuse. What do you get out of it? Abuse? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, does your passport say "United Kingdom of Great United Kingdom & Northern Ireland" or "Britain of Great Britain and Northern Ireland"? Like some US visitors, do you also consider "England" to be synonymous with "Britain"& "UK"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
