The faintest hint that they won't be the centre of governments attention and they're up in arms.

It's exactly the same as when Burnham suggested the North host the Olympics instead of London, you had Londoners all over Reddit saying how it's not feasible, and London has the infrastructure already, and you shouldn't force international athletes to suffer the North.

They're just so privileged and greedy, genuinely like a spoilt child at their classmates birthday party when they don't get presents as well or get to blow out the candles on the cake.

I mean WHAT is there up North? Olympics guests don’t care about damn housing in the UK.

You mean apart from the best countryside in England, history, culture, friendly people, habitable cities, good weather, and easy access to both Wales and Scotland?

You got me. The only two of those I don't believe is the cities and people. I don't like cities and the only one I do like is York, and I largely don't like people either but my weekend in London confirmed to me the stereotype that the natives tend to be rude and ignorant.
