WITH reference to ‘East Lancashire MP calls for northern Parliament’ (LT, February 6) – this is the most sensible thing Graham Jones has said since he came to office.
If the Scots get independence, then England faces perpetual Tory government.
The Tories don’t understand the North, they don’t understand the sense of community that still mostly exists in this region.
As far as the Tories are concerned, it’s a ‘dog eat dog’ world, markets dominate and don’t help your neighbour.
They know the cost of everything and the value of nothing.
The North does need more autonomy to maintain the mostly centre-left politics of the region.
In the North, there is such a thing as society.
