Is this possible? There used to be a strong communist movement in the north(well, strong by british standards.) I myself don't thinks it's possible.

I think the best chance of this would have been some slacking on the part of William the Conqueror.
It is believed by some that before the Normans pretty much raped it to hell and back, the north of the country was quite rich and populated. So maybe if they somehow manage to put up some competent resistance?
Well, anybody CAN secede, wether they can get away with it is a matter of the era.
Pre-WWI- No. England was still a great power and would immeaditly take over anybody who attempted to break up thier Empire.
WWI- Maybe. The British could be to preoccupied with WWI to bother sending troops, or they could flip out.
20's and 30's- Not Likley. Ireland was independent because of terrorist attacks and I'm pretty sure England didn't want more territory gone.
WWII-Possible. The British and Soviets were on the same side (I assume that it's communist.) so the British might not care, as long as North England fights Germany. Otherwise, they might blame Stalin for influincing them,etc. and cause some mucked up diplomacy.
Cold War- Heck no. England and everybody in NATO would fight tooth and nail to stop any more Commys from being around.
Now- Eh... I don't know. Communism is not our top priority anymore, but England might stop them. But for now, the jury is out.
