Truss is absolutely clueless, as is the rest of the government but at least its nice to see them treating London and the South east differently yet again!

Forget leaving the EU for a second or Scotland going its own way, the rest of the UK should push for independence from the fuckers down there who do honestly believe they are better and worth more all the time.

Imagine being a Prison Officer in Cat A Wakefield this morning and waking to find that someone in London is suddenly worth £5000 a year more than you because he works in a tough prison lol.
You should apply to be chancellor, wanting to split from London. Whilst the aftermath of Brexit is largely unknown, London becoming independent from the rest of the UK would be a financial calamity for everyone in the UK, except London.
London's GDP is equal to that of Saudi Arabia. ... The capital generates 22% of the UK GDP, despite accounting for only 12.5% of the UK population. According to the Centre for Economic and Business Research, it makes a net contribution to the Exchequer of over £34bn.

Whilst they keep paying themselves more than anyone else and making the gaps bigger and bigger, nothing will be done to reverse those facts will they?

At what point do governments recognise the fact that there is indeed life north of watford gap?

Spot on. Without London, the rest of the UK would be fucked.
 
As a magistrate for 10 years I (jointly) imposed something like 30-40 custodial sentences. With a couple of exceptions they were for relatively minor offences but, because the offender had been subject to several recent non custodial sentences which they hadnt complied with and had continued offending, we didnt believe that there was a realistic non custodial option available to us.
