Re: Correlation or causation?
I have to agree. Much of the anger channelled into Brexit was anger at a status quo that still left these communities feeling stiffed.
And it's not to hard to see why.
The infrastructure that draws in money is still largely gathered in the South East. London often claims that it generates the wealth. It's more accurate to say that London is where the wealth generators want to be. With their public-school chums (and kids), stockbroker belt homes and country clubs. I remember back in the '80s going past a large massively expensive building, near Hyde Park. It was the HQ of the National Coal Board. About as far from an actual coal mine, or indeed their customers, as it was possible to be.
And decades along hardly anything has changed.
