If some posters don't think we have a big regional inequality problem in the UK, its pointless having threads about trying to address it.
I am astounded that those posters particularly on a board like this connected with the North East don't think there is a major problem, but it would explain a lot.
Freeports were partly a tool to address regional inequalities (i.e. economic differences between regions), if people think they are just a tax dodge and don't help poorer regions, what do they exactly propose to do to address regional inequalities?
I believe the UK has deep regional inequalities as said I assumed this was accepted on the board hence my earlier question, is it accepted by the board.
My belief is that deep regional inequalities in the UK damage the whole economy and make the UK cake smaller and create harmful anger and waste. Does anyone think this is incorrect? I am genuinely interested to know, it is a discussion board.
