Nobody expects the

Cumbrian Separatists

No! No! Not the comfy chair!

The Cumbrian Separatists primarily exist to organise social and/or charity events, such as the odd pub quiz. Very odd pub quizzes, in fact. We can deny any rumours that we will be standing at local council elections....

The Cumbrian Separatists also quite like the following ideas:

• Cumbria to have its own Cumbrian Flag, to be flown proudly from all Cumbrian public buildings.
• Cumbrians to attend at least 12 sporting events involving Cumbrian teams per year.
• The two Cumbria Days will be holidays for Cumbrians, involving food, drink and socialising.
• Cumbrian dialects to be preserved, taught and not made fun of.
• Teaching the "Way of the Winja", the traditional way in which Cumbrians moan about everything.

The Cumbrian Separatists have received official recognition (of sorts) in the Carlisle United matchday programme in an article by Tino.

The Cumbrian Separatists are also now proud namesakes to a Soccer-6 team called The Separatists, in which the Head Separatist plays as 'keeper.

Oh, and if MI5 are reading this, please don't drag us off and lock us up.... we're Jovialists, not Terrorists ;-)
