: As Fenders music is often so political, I was curious to find out what he thinks needs to happen to reverse the regions fortunes. Would he support, say, the Northern Independence Movement? That is the f*cking greatest idea Ive ever heard, he says. How would we make money? Export Greggs? I think we should just restart England. We should go back to the old Roman idea, rebrand as Bernicia from Sheffield upwards, and become a new country, f*ck off London. Well pick Hadrians Wall up and just push it down south, slam it down around Nottingham. --Sam Fender en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Fender The Northern Independence Party (NIP) is a minor secessionist and democratic socialist party that seeks to make the region of Northern England an independent nation, under the name of Northumbria, after the medieval kingdom of the same name. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Independence_Party Sam Fender quoted from a 2022 interview by James Greig published in Dazed magazine www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/55830/1/sam-fender-pro...
