London and the North East

 

So the North East thinks London gets special treatment. What rubbish!

Reports have shown that there is resentment in the North East about the amount of money spent by govenment in London and the South East.

Look at the figures. About 60% of all spending in the North East is government spending. In London, the South East and East Anglia the figure is 30-35%. Check this with the Office of National Statistics.

So our enterprise and entrepreneurialism is used to fund worthless projects in the North East. People just get fatter and fatter and focus all their anger on their useless football team. Perhaps, if they knew what success really was, they'd get off their fat backsides and create new businesses to take on the world, just like the Armstrongs and Parsons did all those years ago.

As it is there is only one new successful high-tech business in the north. And that's Sage. To be fair they are in Newcastle.

So let's get real and invest money in London and the greater South East, where it will be appreciated and used to create wealth for us all.
