Anything north of the Midlands is "The North" mate, that's why all the road signs on the motorway are delightfully specific and just have "THE NORTH" stamped on them.

The Midlands are...the bit in the middle. Called "The South" by Northerners and "The North" by Southerners.

As funny as this is, anarchy isn't simply being rebellious. Anarchy is a political system where the means of production belong to everyone.

[–]DubaiCM 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Anarchy is an opposition to authority or hierarchical organisations. Having collective means of production is a feature of some types of anarchism, such as collectivist anarchism or anarcho-communism, but it is not the defining feature of anarchy.

[–]herenseti -1 points0 points ago

you're essentially right, but i would't say an opposition, just a feature that is lacking.

This is the second person to claim something like this. Are there pockets of Briton that have sworn of tea or something.
