I don't think that people in the north quite appreciate what great stuff they get in the south. The difference in investment is excruciating. The south gets Crossrail and swanky stations and evermore lines to London, and commuters in the North have to travel on busses converted to trains, don't get high speed rail, and Leeds is the biggest urban area in Europe by far without mass rapid transit. The North-South divide is a choice, not an economic inevitability, and it's crippling England.

Por que a América Latina exporta minério de ferro mas importa carros?
Porque produzimos o que o mundo já sabe fazer
e consumimos o que não conseguimos criar.

Me lembro como era viver no Brasil pouco promissor do começo dos anos 90, morando um bairro periférico, e ter no programa Silvio Santos uma das poucas diversões gratuitas. Entendo as críticas, muitas justas, mas perder essa perspectiva de quem teve pouco é perder o personagem.
