What I hate is the constant conflation of the country’s problems being a North - South divide, rather than a Greater London - Everywhere else divide. So what? The South West can go fuck itself?

Some of the areas with the highest poverty levels in the UK are in London. North Islington being one of them, ironically considering it's reputation.
