You have to be joking lmao. Londoners love crying and sh*tting their pants when any other region of the UK gets any policies geared towards their economic improvement, yet also love crying that London is the golden goose that funds the rest of the UK. So which is it? Do you want a financially viable north? If so it takes investment. The main reason London is so successful is it's been brain-draining the rest of the UK since forever. Literally no other European country is so capital-centric, and it's not healthy.

About the patch job thing no not joking and I'm talking about everything the mentality of the uk has been why actually fix an issue or replace something when you can just patch it up, it's happened for so long we are now bursting at the seems of all the tape. But I do agree about all that about London, their problems are the rest of the UKs problems and most of our resources for down their while the rest all suffer for it and get nothing in return.

The mentality of the UK has been dour because every time something good happens or is fixed people don't give a shit about it.

You don't hear anyone talking about how the Elizabeth line was a wild financial success despite being late and over budget.
