This is bad on so many levels. What happens when to all the people who get left outside of London? You end up with ghetto towns full of people on benefit. Then all the people in London have to pay their benefit payments through increased taxes. Meanwhile houseprices in London skyrocket. Wages are forced up even more. London becomes globablly uncompetitive. The whole thing falls to bits.
I think they need to sort the transport links out to solve the problem. Try and get a train from anywhere to London – easy. Try to get a train from A to somewhere that isn’t London and it takes forever! Same goes for flights to anywhere else in Europe/the world – you have to go to London. Until they reconnect the midlands/North to the rest of the England then I see it only getting worse. Everyone is in London because it takes sooo long to get anywhere else!
