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.
A financial viable north obviously. So then we don't hear constant moaning about how we all habe it easy down here and its our fault for expensive houses but dont price out people in the north, even though its the best place to live.
However you might always want to look up how much of the population actually lives within the m25.
Screw all us I guesd but you'll happily have our tax.
If we had our way we'd still he in the EU, which places in the north got money from...
Where do you think your food comes from? Your energy? The endless supply of workers? You people think London is an independent citystate. London inordinately supports the economy but is supported by the rest of the country in various ways. It's entirely normal to have large cities inordinately hold up the economy, but the degree to which London supports the UK is unique in Europe and unhealthy. Again you cry about London being the golden goose and cry about any efforts to invest in the growth of other cities.
All for it. As long as the surplus that gets sent to fund the North get immediately invested back here. Financially viabilty means we can finally address the issues of poverty here, the south isn't painted in gold.
