she/it killed our country, sold us out and destroyed many communities

And it looks as though Brexit is going to kill the remaining ones.

But the British are resilient.

Yes, but so are rubber balls…

Although I have trouble being friends with rubber balls. (They can knock you in the eye unexpectedly. Come to think of it, some British might do that too, so forget I came up with that comparison)

I couldn't care less as such


I'm not Englishman, I'm not British, I'll NEVER be a European

I'm a Yorkshireman I want "my" county to become a independent Republic

Be careful what you wish for. If Yorkshire became an independent country, you'd have to choose a form of government -- monarchy, democracy, fascist state, etc? If a monarchy, would the monarch be absolute or limited by parliamentary control?

Why not just have a pretend independent country? Find an entertaining "leader" and have parades and coronations and other spectacles, while benefiting from the services that the U.K. gives you? Changing things takes a *lot* of work. I take it that lifting a finger takes an effort for you, so how would you lift all the fingers of all the hands you have?

not with me leading the first "government"

America and maybe other countries ? have the Oath of Allegiance said in schools etc.
We don't have anything like - the only time you "see" support etc for this country is when certain folk put flags out on houses/cars etc for football/rugby world cups - loyalty here is a joke!

How close are you to Wales?

http://ontheworldmap.com/uk/
I'm 8 mile away from Wakefield

So, there's a train station in Wakefield, where you can board a train for Wales?

"train station in Wakefield" Yep! But where you can to from there who knows ? never used it

From that Wakefield station it's about a three hour train ride to Wales.
It's about 78 miles from Wakefield Sation to Liverpool.

It's another 30 miles from Liverpool to Flintshire, Wales.

who needs to go to either place
if I go out of YorkshireI go as a missionary, to teach the true faith (modest)

And people from Wales probably travel to Liverpool so they can teach *you* the true faith, according to them.

Trust me, neither of us needs to be a missionary. All we need to do is lead by example. ?

"Liverpool so they can teach *you*"

That's on t'other side of the Pennines to me

My philosophy is:- If you ain't born Yorkshire, your a foreigner saves a lot of time

Foreigners are exotic and fascinating. The nice thing about having them around is so that you can attribute all sorts of great qualities to them, or all sorts of bad qualities if you wish, and in neither case will you need to get to really understand them.
After all, they will someday go back to their foreign homes.

one of my "many" philosophies is:- everyone is my friend, until they prove different

I think the Trumpster has proven otherwise a very long time ago. Wait, he was *never* my friend.
