Thanks for diarying this! I saw it this morning and thought it really connects to some interesting issues, but I didn't have time.

Of course, as a resident of one of the oppressed provinces of the North, I have to say that once Scotland and Wales and NI go free we'll really be screwed. Permanent Tory government, focused on propping up the South East no matter what. Not another road, railway or even bridge built north of Watford Gap in England. It's not a pretty future.
