I know Top Gear's (previously) Mr. Clarkson always had colorful things to say about what they call "midlanders" which sounds to me like the British version of Midwesterners. No facts there there though, I have no idea how widespread it is.

There is quite a bit of regionalism in the UK, but it's mostly pretty harmless, and doesn't carry that much bitterness with it. For example, there's definitely a north-south tension in England, which does have some cultural aspects to it, but it's in a completely different league from the US situation (as far as I understand that), and beyond the occasional mutual quips, you won't see any real discrimination - that's my experience, anyway.
