Yes the Northerners but also the Southerners have plenty of reasons to be angry.
There is little of a divide between South and North these days, that is how England once was, but sadly no more since it has been invaded by persons of foreign tongues, foreign cultures, foreign dress, and in some places foreign architecture.

Cohen's characters are never sutle, and this is no exception.
Rather than North and South, the parody is about rich and poor. Two brothers separated as children, one is adopted and has a priviledged upbringing, and the other, a normal (working class) upbringing. The extreme differences in their paths is exaggerated for comic effect.
If you want a debate about the North /South divide, try framing it about the wealth gap, employment opportunities and prosperity. Not about migrant intakes, and comedy.

This is probably not on topic but :::
I was watching a film about P G Wodehouse a few years ago, and in it he was being transported on a train by the Nazis that has detained him. He looked out of the window and said::
"Well, chaps, if this is Upper Silesia, what on earth can Lower Silesia be like" !
I have only been to Grimsbury once, in the mid 70's and it looked from the window of the car as unmitigatingly awful. But perhaps it has changed.
