    		London thinks it is the UK, but the rest of the country knows better. England isn't an autonomous region, by the way. There is no English Parliament or Assembly. They tried to foist Regional Assemblies onto us, but we knocked that down. No way does the rest of the North West want to be governed by Manchester, for example.
