Whenever I hear a Led Zeppelin song I really like it, then 5 minutes later I'm ready for the next one, after 10 minutes I'm really getting bored of it, and after about half an hour I'm ready to kill myself.
GET ON WITH IT!

I believe we've had a few revolts/revolutions:
The Baronial Revolt
Magna Carta
The Wars of the Roses
The English Civil War
The Industrial Revolution
The Troubles
Maggie
The Maastrict Treaty (either of them!)
The Lisbon Treaty
We don't actually know if the Scots want to go yet, and there are plenty of Unionists in Northern Ireland (that's why it's there!)
I do fancy poaching some decent left wingers though.

A few people march to London, the leaders get killed and the rest go back to work.
Not exactly a revolution.

That wasn't it revolution, it was just an argument that got out of hand.

If that's just an argument - I don't wanna see your idea of a revolution!

Where are you thinking about sorting the Anglo-Scottish border?
I just want to make sure the People's Republic and it's client states end up on the right side.

I was thinking of heading South East just above Blackpool, then turning due East somewhere north of Watford.
Leave Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham in Greater Wales*.
Obviously straight lines are ugly for borders so there is wiggle room to include some bits and leave others out.

Tell you what - Set the border on the North Side of Lancs /the relevant Ridings of Yorkshire. We can make Cleveland debatable land.

Hey, man . . . get a grip.
After all, you're referring to England.
In the great scheme of things, who gives a sh*******************************t?
Really, it's not like where talking about Malta or Ecuador or someplace important.
