The news channels have been a buzz recently with the Scottish Referendum, taking hold of Britain's eyes and ears. Every time I've turned on the tele the BBC seemed to have forgotten about their English workers, with the Scottish accent the only one being heard. Every single news story was somehow related to Scotland, even those that had nothing to do with the referendum, and those that did went on for hours.
But for me, that hasn't been the most pressing referendum. One has been unfolding a little closer to home in fact, in the surrounding towns and villages of Hull, including my own.
Plans had been made to expand the Hull Council zone and encompass the surrounding villages, rather than us proceed under East Riding of Yorkshire Council. Letters have been sent out to all the houses in the affected areas and voting related posters and signs have been spotted everywhere - houses, businesses, street corners - the villages are ripe with propaganda, all persuading people to vote NO.
And I couldn't agree more.
Back the hell off Hull. We don't want your shitty council with your dodgy coloured bins and your even dodgier MPs. Isn't Hull big enough for you? Do you really need all of us to join with you? Even the Deputy Prime Minister doesn't think this is a good idea. "A bigger Hull isn't necessarily a stronger one". Take that advice - leave us the hell alone.
Scotland wanted independence, and the country voted against it. The same will happen here when the voting closes on the 26th of this month and the papers are counted. NO NO. That's the vote, and if that changes, then I'm moving.
I kid of course, the only way I'm moving is if Mum moves. She does all my washing after all.
