We'd call ourselves the Republic of Northern Britons. I think Northumdria or Dane Land would be a more apt name. (But I do wonder where the border of Scotland would be fixed) But the Jocks would'nt like it because they would still be a minority and would blame you for the excessive cost of any parliaments that they build over budget.
 
Northumbria is the old name for Newcastle down to Durham etc. I don't think the Manchester/Liverpool/North West lot would go for it. The border would start just south of Stockport, we'll take the Yorskhire lot as they're alright - miners strikes/common ground etc. The Midlands lot - we'll take Wolverhampton and Birmingham - they're down to earth, genuine people. The rest of the Midlands will have to throw their lot in with the South. The Welsh are free to join us or do their own thing. The propaganda machine is already up and running - I'll send you a link to my "The prince of wales was Jack The Ripper and there's potential for more of the same if we don't lock them up" website.
 
Where are you from by the way - are you with us or against us?
 
I normally can't understand a word they're saying so any moaning from the Jocks will fall on deaf ears. Best to warn them in advance not to waste their time.
 
We would immediately declare war on the remaining "England", win the war and ship the royals, lords, ladies, the government, the church, assorted murdoch's & co, general tarquins etc off to a desert somewhere (Central Scotland perhaps...!!!!!  LOL) (one way journey). First you'd borrow money from London to purchase the wepons for your Army, by the time you were ready the revitalised new country of Greater Wessex would be ready to bribe a load of Dutch and German football fans to come over and disuade you.  

I like your style, Dtesmoac. I'm glad you responded as I clearly haven't thought this through and I need to put some meat on the bones of my plans. We'll politely inform the Dutch and Germans that mullets are and always will be forbidden in the British Isles (the only crime for which we're prepared to consider capital punishment) - that should seriously deplete their strength and render them impotent. As for the weapons, we'll get one of those 2% loans the Americans do - they're so charitable they don't mind when we don't pay them back so everyone's happy. Then we buy the guns (quite possibly from the British government who in their greedy haste will have no problems selling guns to a group of people who are about to overthrow them).

After the celebrations had died down we'd get down to business and start improving housing, education, hospitals etc and stop spending our money on invading countries and killing people. Nope you wouldn't because so many people would have moved down to Wessex to find work that there wouldn't be enough tax paying Northeners to afford it.
 
Yes we would. We would redistribute wealth and use the southerners as our servants. Quite simple really.
 
And of course once the green light had been given for full devolved government Ken Livingstone would form the Country of Greater Socialist Londinium with about 32 million population and Mr Northern Gent would have to watch from the outside as a new beacon of Socialist Government sprang up to amaze the world with it's ability to go bankrupt...............!!   :)
 
Oh, don't give me that, Dtesmoac. I know you're licking your lips at the prospect of the new improved Republic of Britons.

 The possibilities are endless, perhaps part of the devolution should be that all disputes must be settled by Football matches...........no armies allowed.
 
You're onto something. Football is a Northern game when all's said and done (most of the teams who first formed the league were Northern and Northern teams have won far more cups/leagues than Southern teams during the last century). So, in a nutshell, there'll only be one winner and it ain't going to be your crowd down there :-)

Tea is a fast increasing drink in the US but they muck about puting flavours in it and often bag for bag / scoop for scoop it is incredibly week compared with PG or with Texcos/ Waitrose home brand.

Where are you from by the way - are you with us or against us? - Cross between English and Welsh. I go for independence for Mercia and Cyrm splitting up Wessex and the Northern States, but holding lots of the Water and all the Nroth South Roads. - we'll tax you on both. 
 
Fine. Send us an invoice and the Jocks will deal with it. They'll need it in Celt/Pict. 
 
Yes we would. We would redistribute wealth and use the southerners as our servants. Quite simple really. - think of the bossing about and telling you what to do that would then occur in your own home. 
 
Not much bossing around they can do from inside a cage.

Are you willing to stake the Peak District in it?  my local team is good old English money owned......and at the point of bankruptcy and way below the perier league.
 
Shrewsbury? Anyway, yeah I'll take you up on that.

Wait a minute, what's with the weak (US) tea jokes? I drink my tea (Earl Grey) so strong it nearly stands without a cup and if anyone even approaches my cup with a flavoring or sugar, I'd sever a limb. I have to admit though, it takes two bags of most brands to make it the way I like it. I thought it was the English who had to add stuff to their tea? As for immigrating to the US...hmmm, OK, send me a few, female please, with that cute accent...I'm certain I'd think of something to do with them (weg).

There is just no pleasing the Celts so we might as well not try, though I admit the Irish have reason to be mad, not just at the English but the Brits in general. The Scots, though I am sure, would claim otherwise, did enough stirring of the Irish pot themselves and the government in London that made decisions on Ireland would no doubt have its fair share of Scottish members.
