What fazes me, too, is this wonderful suggestion from some "think-tank" closely associated with Mr Cameron has suggested that, since the North is fucked, thanks to Thatcher and her mates, it should be

abandoned, and all its denizens should move to Oxfordshire.

What will they think of next ? Soup kitchens, for itinerant Northeners ? Human chimley sweeps ? Or will a deal be cut with Australia and New Zealand, so that Britain's social effluent can once again take a

long journey by sea ?

I would get on my bike, if |I could afford one.
