Maybe is Scotland AND London broke away together...............? Just abandoned the useless "rump" in the middle!
Sorted!
Yes, I know how to win friends!
I'm assuming that was tounge in cheek!
In my opinion no part of the UK can break away from the rest and servive, London may be the financial capital of the UK but on its own it could not keep its self afloat, the same as Wales Scotland or the rest of the .."useless rump in the middle"........
Each part of the uk supply's something g to the rest weather it's industry, finances, workers, farming etc.
London does not have any industry as such nor does it have farming , it has plenty of workers and finances but take away your food supply and London "dies" the "rump" in the middle could bankrupt London with in mear months if it so chooses too do....
And the same goes in the opostie direction. We NEED each other more than people like to think and without the one there is no other.
