Intrigued at the prospect of Thelma Walker standing in Hartlepool and her bff Calz being swept ineluctably closer to centres of power. Was also impressed by their interview on Novara in the week. But are the NIP...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgiusAMdZto - Philip Proudfoot interview from the other day.

probably a combination of at least 3 of them options including the "UKIP of left"! I get bad vibes from them tbh - especially when their idiot account repeatedly RT-ed a corporate bookie account the other day. But if they play a role in pissing on Dr Paul's chips then they are at least useful for 5 minutes.

Thelma is thoroughly nice though and she loathes Kieth probably even more than me!

It's a bit of a lark I think? Their Internet game seems rubbish so I wouldn't call it a movement as of now

some further balkanisation might be necessary as in an additional split from the gammony eternally blue parts of N Yorkshire

Maybe into West Gammony and East Gammony.

The Doncaster Wall

I'm up for it as long as a supply corridor is maintained through the Shires to East London Free State for essential teabag and black pudding deliveries.

I initially thought it was just a bit of a lark and possibly just a social media marketing campaign for Alex Niven's book that had got out of hand, but Proudfoot is an interesting, thoughtful fella (altho apparently lives in Brighton or Bath or somewhere?) and especially with the Tories occupying Liverpool I could see it being an actually effective protest vote, helping shift Labour policy, even if it never came close to winning a seat?

It'd be fun if it gained traction but I want to see some presence and something to sign up to

Want it to happen only because Nippers would be such a good nickname for supporters and members of any political party.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

this joke isn't funny any more. I saw one of these lot using the expression "Greggs-pilled" and others have been making very stupidly wrong comments about The North as victims of colonialism! Sorry lads, but this is embarrassing.

Fuck another party. Get some AK-47s and start on the racist gammons in your own back yard, then work down to Watford and beyond or gtfo.
