LT: I fucking hate the Tories. That might not come as a surprise to some of you here but day after day things just seem to get worse and worse. Scottish independence is gaining a lot of momentum, Ireland is terrorised by riots not seen since the Troubles and could possibly be united by the end of the decade. Welsh independence is picking up its own steam too.
Back in 2014 when Scotland had their own referendum I was firmly in the "stay united" camp, but not now. If the union completely comes apart I'll just feel slightly happier for those countries to be rid of Londons poisonous politics. Which makes me think about the union historically, and about England as a united country, about how all of it is built on bullshit, on the pride and greed of Kings that believed they could take what they want, that could shit from even greater heights onto the proletariat below. It's time to redraw the old lines, not only can the union itself not hold itself together under tory rule, but England as a whole. Let parliament govern their own little world of London and Essex, leave Wessex, East Anglia, Mercia and Northumbria to their own government, and maybe if/when we can prove that we can all come together under a union that isn't governed by blatant corruption, cronyism and lies upon lies upon lies, we can call ourselves a United Kingdom again.
