You really don't like it when examples of 'Southern bias' are presented
to you, do you?

Not to the extent that you do, no.

The divisive attitudes in this country annoy me, of which you bringing up
the N/S bias at seemingly every opportunity are effectively fueling.

I've mentioned it a grand total of *two* times in the last few weeks.
Hardly bringing it up at every opportunity.

Has it ever ocurred to you that these 'divisive attitudes' are caused
by southerners who by their own unthinking, arrogant ways
consider themselves to be the centre of the (British) universe?
No wonder northerners react against it!

If you'd replaced the word "southerners" with "people in the
media" the complaint would have some force but as it stands it makes
no sense at all to the average Londoner, who is well aware of the
privileges of living there and is not in the least dismissive of the
north. Most of us know too many northerners for that. I seem to
remember posting something very similar in the past in response to
your imagined view of the contemptuous attitude of southerners. It
doesn't exist! Maybe your rage should be directed against a political
and cultural system that has caused the inequality, and one person in
particular.
