I believe it was intended to ensure socialism forever. They get to vote for their own mob, which will always be socialist as so many are professional benefits claimants. Plus they also get to contribute to us having a higher chance of getting lefties too.Devolved government whether Wales and Scotland or the various Mayoralties were an illusion to create the impression of local decision making. It’s ended up with 20mph limits and a worse NHS. It’s meaningless without real power to raise local income taxes locally.

Maybe, but all set up by the English. When we had the Brexit vote Scotland wanted to remain, they knew the bigger, the better, but it was the South who swung it, for what ever reason England wants to get rid of the principalities.It's all a concocted mess.
Voices from the right blame Musslims for voting for the “wrong” party, now it’s Scotland Wales who are blamed. Shades of totalitarianism in this reasoning, next these groups will not be allowed to vote for the “wrong” candidates.I believe it was intended to ensure socialism forever.

They get their cake and they get to eat ours too.
If Wales and Scotland cleared off then Labour would never get voted in again in England, we're too sensible.
We should either be one single UK or separate countries. There's no need for any devolution above councils. It's all a concocted mess.
Utter nonsense.Voices from the right blame Musslims for voting for the “wrong” party, now it’s Scotland Wales who are blamed. Shades of totalitarianism in this reasoning, next these groups will not be allowed to vote for the “wrong” candidates.
Same as Reform voters and boat people.Unfortunately, up here the SNP keep touting independence (albeit indirectly to a degree) as being a cure-all for Scotland's socioeconomic ills. If you watch them on political tv progs, they will ALWAYS blame their failings on the fact they 'don't have enough levers to pull' rather than taking at least some of the blame.
Quietly? Farage is a booming empty vesselBut somehow us English are expected to quietly get on with it.

I know my son was for a time a boat person, and yes living on a narrow boat means no fixed abode, and does cause problems, even renewing ones driving licence they want a fixed address.Same as Reform voters and boat people.
My post was in response to diyfun stating Scots wrongly or falsely, blaming all their ills on the (lack of) independence thing. Reform and thier dribbling followers blame all the UK ills on small boat arrivals ('boat people'). Same naive idiocy.But this is a minority group. As to how it relates to Reform voters, not a clue.

Are you too young to remember Vietnam?But people who live on a boat I suppose will be called boat people, people using a boat to get from A to B are passenger or crew.
