... and the Scots would get Ed Miliband

In reply to climbwhenready:

Im from Donny, dont mind being Scottish, but you can keep Ed Miliband

In reply to climbwhenready:

I'm in Carlisle.. do I need to start knitting balaclavas?

In reply to climbwhenready:

In addition to Doncaster, the Scots can also have :

Luton
Milton Keynes
Slough
The London borough of Tower Hamlet Istan

and last but not least, Croydon.

(If that doesn't make them vote No, nothing will).

In reply to Simon4:








A touch on the racist side...

In reply to mh554:

explain?

In reply to graeme jackson:


Tower Hamlet Istan?

In reply to mh554:

istan is a suffix in the Persian language (Farsi), denoting a place

In reply to graeme jackson:

I understand where 'istan' comes from. However in this instance believed (rightly or wrongly) it was used to denote a high Asian population...

In reply to mh554:

which doesn't in itself suggest any form of racism does it? Tower hamlets does have a fairly high Asian population anyway - stating a fact as simple as that can't be racism surely. What about the other places on his list? If they're all large asian populations then yes, I can see where he's suggesting you'd be getting rid of a lot of asians but i don't believe that's true of places like milton keynes or Slough. only been to Luton once and i only saw the airport so can't comment. never been to croydon.

In reply to graeme jackson:
It was my perception of the post. IMHO, I perceived it to be...
For example, Bradford is often call Bradistan in a similar way, and a derogatory way.

In reply to mh554:









Good point. You missed Keighley and Corbey.

In reply to ByEek:

Can we have Gritstone...you can keep all the rest

In reply to graeme jackson:


Rotten with corruption, intimidation, sectariansm and vote-rigging. Legendary for it.

In reply to climbwhenready:

i'd like to hear from Hadrian and the tectonics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caledonian_orogeny#mediaviewer/File:Caledonide...

In reply to malk:


Its all been downhill since they split up Pangaea.

In reply to French Erick:


You can't have the pound and you can't have Gritstone. Everything else if up for negociation.

In reply to malk:

Hadrian and the Tectonics is now my band name. Cheers for the tip. =D

In reply to mh554:



TBH it's hard to be anything but derogatory to Bratfud...

In reply to ByEek:

You can keep the Queen if we get at least millstone...otherwise we want our share (whatever that is in percentage) as she is an asset
If you feel generous could we get that place with sentinel crack?

In reply to climbwhenready:

Having spent many happy years living in Scotland and now living in Doncaster I'd be very happy with that.

In reply to Ridge:


Its a glorious and lovely place compared to Luton.

Ok thats setting the bar low but still not completely deogratory.

In reply to dissonance:

"Bradford - Not quite as shit as Luton"

Catchy slogan for the tourist industry

In reply to Ridge:


I will let them use it for free if they want.

I am generous like that.

and they need all the help they can get.
