Talk:North–South divide in the United Kingdom

Sorry for deleting the redirect to the North Britain entry, however there is a box linking to this page in the article to discuss unverifiable ideas, so it may be better that this page stays here.

What I want to highlight is the opening paragraph. It's vague, it's not sourced, and it makes reference to a "house price cliff". Anyone?Doctorbob (talk) 15:57, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"horizontally"

[edit]

I'm puzzled by this word, referring to the extent of the south. Does it refer to east-west on a map (with north pointing towards the top of the map, and the map being held upright)? If so, perhaps "east-to-west", "west-to-east", "longitudinally", or "in longitude" would excel. 172.56.27.175 (talk) 12:15, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sectionalism

[edit]

This subject is practically identical to what American historians refer to as "sectionalism". We see a similar geographic divergence occurring today in the Ukraine. It led to the emergence of South Sudan, and probably occurs pretty much all over the world, arising out of topological, geological, mineralogical, and climatological influences utterly independent of human populations. Such realities transcend the realms of politics, culture, religion, and economics, but shape our prospects, fates, and vistas deeply and irresistibly. Is it any wonder that disparities among regions engender misunderstandings and hostilities? 172.56.26.78 (talk) 13:04, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

concerning the bizarre map added last month

[edit]

No actual definitions exist of this divide, the attempt to create this on a map so clearly coloured and defined using MapCharts is very dubious... please let me know if you wanted to include something specific or if it was misunderstood.
