I'm just saying, why are there so many refs from the North and nobody from the South being promoted?

For that I think we need a Brit's take. I would suggest that there's a lot of anti-London bias, similar to the way conservative politicians will dog whistle about "coastal elites" (read: Jews) and "inner city thugs" (black people) in America. I wonder whether that sort of mentality is being kept alive by the PGMOL and influencing which refs get promoted.

Oh 100% it is.
