“I think we should just restart England... We'll pick Hadrian's Wall up and just push it down south, slam it down around Nottingham” --Sam Fender #HeadNorth
As Fender’s music is often so political, I was curious to find out what he thinks needs to happen to reverse the region’s fortunes. Would he support, say, the Northern Independence Movement?
“That is the f*cking greatest idea I’ve 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. We’ll pick Hadrian’s Wall up and just push it down south, slam it down around Nottingham.” --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
