I disagree. I don't think it is as easy as thinking that there is a north/south divide.
For instance Cornwall has the lowest income per person in the country.
I lived in London for sixteen years, and there are very poor parts of the capital. Just as there are very wealthy areas in the north, such as Cheshire, North Yorkshire, and even parts of Lancashire.
I think any problems we have are nationwide, and the rot set in long before this government came to power.
