Meh, the anthem and being English isn’t a government/royal family thing despite the lyrics. There’s more to this country than a government and some royals. Im no fan of the royal family or our government but I’d personally never boo the anthem because the country is bigger than them.
Also what’s this stuff about how nobody bothers with anywhere north of Watford. Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds are three of the wealthiest cities in the country. There are plenty cities down South that have had decades of being ignored. This whole idea that the North gets screwed is hilariously outdated and completely incorrect.
Aside from London having a spend per person 50% higher than other regions and things like HS2 being massively scaled down to cut costs.
