I think most people would agree that some imbalance is natural, perhaps even good but the current level is bad.

Bad, that the only net positive part of the entire UK comes from London and it's dependent, the SE.

It's clearly caused societal issues and apart from everything else means we're putting all our eggs in one basket. Transporting goods, energy and people into London from all over the UK is clearly worse than if we spread it around a bit.



I'm not even sure it's that great for Londoners. What's the point of a six figure salary if it gets swallowed up buying a tiny terraced house or a flat too small for a family.


I agree, it's totally mad and if anything is getting more centralised.
