It's worth comparing

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_regions_of_the_United_Kingdom_by_GRP_per_capita and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_GDP_per_capita

because yes, it's funny, but France or even Italy are not poor countries. (The Bahamas are doing surprisingly well for themselves too.) The US is just a really, really huge industrial power.

Look if the procedure did not produce Jeremy Corbyn as a prime minister, so what? Wasn't there some other procedure that produced say Lenin as a leader of another failed empire? Look at your own thing throughout the 20 century, unions get their thing not by conforming to tradition or whatnot but by pushing their thing. gently caress it, you are 500000 people, you are not obliged to fold your arms and die if you don't want to.

No. I know for a fuckeing fact that that you don't want to. Who does? Scots don't want to, good portion of you englanders also don't want to. So stop whining, have a shot and join a union radicalize it, doesn't matter what, this is how english people enact social change.

All of the UK's nuclear weapons are in Scotland, a main platform of the independence movement is getting them decommissioned (which they'd have to be if removed from the west coast, there are no suitable sites for them in the rest of the UK).

Edit: haha London too, seems to be a Swoppy thing but stopped clocks and all that https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/la...CTuOGgdKL1-8yvU

Double edit: both protests were promoted by Class War, the Swoppies just printed a million placards as usual.

The north half is very white, the south half (where people actually live) is more basic America demographics. But yeah that north half is insanely freakily white.
Bernie is from the north half though so eh.

Scotland has the most aggressive carbon-reduction policies in the world. (It's never met its own targets.)

2036: Prime Minister Jacob Rees-Mogg has once again asked Scotland to "return" nuclear weapons to England. "Look, the fact is that wherever they may have been located upon dissolution, the missiles were built with London money using London technology. You could at least let us have one."

Rees-mogg went on to further state that if Scotland continued to ignore London's requests they would have no choice but to file a resolution with the United Nations. This would mainly be a symbolic measure however, as Scotland being the internationally-recognized successor state to the United Kingdom possesses veto power on the Security Council.

Edinburgh has said that while they feel that a nuclear-armed England would be a danger to regional peace, they will give 3 missiles to Wales if they promise to put it on the border and really rub it in the English faces.

They're actually American missiles from Lockheed Martin of California, regularly serviced at a dock near New York, and can't be fired accurately without a daily weather report from the US Navy. O and they run on a version of Windows 98 called 'Windows for Submarines'.

The US didn't want to sell them under Carter and Reagan due to NPT issues but Thatcher pestered them enough that they gave in. Helps that they're low-yield warheads that would be first choice in a NATO tactical strike.

lol that reminds me of the late 90s when arleigh burke destroyers were running NT4 and occasionally getting the blue screen of death, which would not be a good thing to have happen in the middle of a naval battle

The nuclear reactors in UK submarines were being bricked in failsafe testing, so they put a button on the command console which turns off the failsafes.

E: an old example of mutiny on British boats, but Trafalgar-class is still kicking about. http://edition.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/europe/04/28/britain.submarine/
