So they’re moving from being beholden to London to beholden to Brussels? The freedom rings hollow with that move.
The North (including Liverpool upwards) has been dictated to by London and the south for hundreds of years, there’s a lot of people who wouldn’t mind an alternative to that.
Well to be fair, Brussels doesn't have a history of state violence and oppression towards them.
Actually no they don't, that's a misrepresentation of a minority viewpoint.
