Argh! Invasion! Poa people to be sent oop north

[scooterscot]

Poor people like Troll are to be sent oop north to Scotland!

Housing benefit cuts will 'push poor out of south', experts warn | Society | The Guardian

Well we'll have to instigate some rules then, tartan underpants as standard. Troll do you like haggis?

[Troll]

Your (incorrect) assumption is that I am poor

Compared to the standard of living experienced by you peasants resident North of the Border (aka England's Leper colony) my personal wealth would mean automatic qualification as a Laird... and the opportunity to Lord it over you lot could be interesting.

Top bananas for whoever dreamed up this piece of social engineering - remove the lower social orders from the South I like it! and bonus if immigrants are included - especially émigrés resident in Devon

I wish they'd do the same with tourists,

There are nice mountains and lochs in Scotland, so why do all the wretched rubberneckers have to clutter up London?

[Svalbaard]

Wrong solution.

The correct solution is to keep all of the wealthy down South with all of the poor to do the grunt work. It's the "useless third of the population" that need to be sent North in a B-Ark.

I think when they say up north they mean Birmingham not Scotland.

Please may I be sent to Stirling or Edinburgh, please, thank you.

Oh. Bollocks. Anyway, that's darn Sarf, that is.

I'm sure Scots love being thought of as 'up north' like it's part of England.

In the real north, everyone here is poor already. And we have high unemployment, going to get worse since the NE is particularly dependent on public sector jobs. So sending more people here isn't going to help. Scotland can have them.

Can't they go to Nothern Ireland or the Isle of Man

[RichardCranium]

Can't they go to the Isle of Man?

Me! Me! Me! Me! Me!

Where do I sign?

Om nom nom.

I'm pretty sure that "Up North" to a Londoner means Luton.
