Nah, especially considering you're talking about UK as a part of the deal and Pommy land is attached to Cornwall, Wales and Scotland, it would be a bit rough on the poor Pom. However if I was to tell the Pom to clear off back to Normandy and Germany and give back what belongs to the Welsh, Cornish and Scots, then that might be fair...And as Ed is soon to be an Aussie, He can't whinge or b!tch about it .

Yeah I know that Pom generally means English but many an Irishman was a prisoner of her majesty and made the long trip to Van Diemens land.
Many of us would jump at the chance now tho! Lol

We might have to keep our taxes for our own use then, and our minerals, land, houses, water supply (sorry Liverpool, you lose)...And we'll stop using English on all our signs! Now who's gonna be in trouble?!


Mick

If Wales would struggle on their own, imagine what would happen here in NI!
We'd be fighting in the streets within days

Ok after some full on Wikipediaing, Wales has the lowest GVA (gross value added) per capita of all the British isles, heavy and extractive industry (minerals) is.pretty much non existent, and wales' economy relies on public sector, light industrial and tourism.
