Zern Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Just now, Johnny Martin said: Day Of The Lords/Benjamin Nevis found. Sounded more like Duries Air Freshener. Just out of interest, what is this 'Northern Powerhouse' they are talking about? It appears to be a series promises to invest and build in the North that never materialised. Ironically enough if Scotland were to become independent and join the EU then the trade border being established would force rUK to actually invest in infrastructure in the North. It would be be good for both sides. or that area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Unionist i think this place clearly leans to one side of the argument but all in all I've found most posters to be relativley sensible and able to engage in decent discourse. This post should correctly be ridiculed although it seems like a low hanging fruit trolling exercise imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might actually have a point with his assertion that the majority of Scots are not obsessed with politics. A quick glance around this forum could create an impression that a good number of Scots are more obsessed with the exploits of mediocre daytime TV presenters than with our political heroes and villains.

DiscoStu Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) Quite a few playing the man instead of the ball as per usual. The most amusing part was someone mentioning "swallowing unionism jizz" accusing someone else of trolling.

Liverpool, Manchester, Bradford, Leeds, Sheffield and Hull are some of the largest places in England and located close to the M62. The suggestion is that if they were better interconnected and could operate more as a single economic unit then that would transform the area completely.

Just on the transport front alone they have a point. London has had Crossrail and the Elizabeth line plus HS2 will now go only to Birmingham. Can’t think of anything remotely comparable in the North since Manchester got trams in the 90s 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
