Addressing the fact that a disproportionate amount of investment and power is consolidated in London and the South of England isn't the same as saying Southerners are to blame.
Investment is one thing, the apparatus of government is simply in London, and having that in one place makes sense. I’m not in London and I can see that distributing government functions will cost more, open up localised corruption, and provide no real benefit.
Any resistance to this half baked plan will be dismissed as southern people trying to control the north, I guarantee it.
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
