but do you have spoons made out of silver? <_<
this whole "abandon the north thing" i think (Bloody Warm Shandy Drinking Poncy) Southeners have figured out, Insult the north and you get a load of free publicity, and your report/statement etc becomes more important.
as for Cameron... Hate him but thats because i do come from an Arch-Labour Family.
And on the Regeneration Point, I dont think city councils should get the money up front, they prove that they have made the best regeneration plan before they get the money, because i wouldn't trust city councils with that much money.
