And do you believe that if England were given a referendum to leave the union (UK), they would vote yes?
No I don't believe that at all, us English are fed up of the rhetoric that spews out of Scotland. The Scottish economy is abysmal coupled with the fact the EU (Spain) would never allow them into the EU, the Union together is stronger and most Sots agree but this SNP one trick pony will take Scotland into the Abyss. Be careful what you wish !
 
The reason the Tories won IMO was because Johnson made political capital of the the English nationalism and anti minority sentiments that fuelled Brexit.
The new found Tory voters in the North and Midlands who have been fcuked over by first Thatcher, then the global crash and austerity and now Brexit have something to coalesce around - a sense of nationalistic pride and hatred of others.
They know the Tories are not going to improve their lot ,they don't think the other lot are either ( in facts things will only get worse) but at least Johnson has given them permission and provided the environment for them collectively to take out their frustrations against the 'outside world' ,thereby giving them a substitute for their lost jobs and communities.
It's a clever (and age old trick), but the problem is it's like a drug and as these areas continue to decline the Tories will have to pump the inhabitants full of more of the propaganda of xenophobia and hatred to mask their own self loathing. Until the bubble bursts.
 
Not angry just slightly annoyed at my well earned money going to people who do not appreciate it. You don't know how good it is until it has gone !!!

In the union of the uk the Barnet formula ensures the Scots get far more dosh than the rest of the uk. I am not sure sturgeon has worked out to be a member of the European Union the money flows the other way.

when she does .....

I think it is simpler . It was because Corbyn was shite.

evidenced by the fact Tories only went up 1% but labour lost a much higher percentage.

Boris never won the election, Corbyn absolutely lost it. Don’t give Boris credit he doesn’t deserve.

Rhetoric and spewing. Pot kettle black mean anything to you ?
 
Well the poll wasn’t very accurate was it? What does that say about City fans?
