Regional inequality (let alone inequality within regions) - exists despite over 50 years of interventionist Goverment policies.The differences would be even greater without subsidies / transfers of civil servants and many infrastruture schemes.However - we dont have 30%+ unemployment in some towns in the North East and Wales thatwas found in the 1930S.The shame is we dont spend enough on (rail) infrastruture - but compared to Europe - the economy isnt bad !Mind you with rail having a 6% market share (and much of that in the London and SE area) to get more spent in the regions would be a triumph of faith. |
