Soviet Britain, 2

Gorse Fox has mentioned on several occasions how little the South East gets from the government, in comparison to the rest of the country. Well, according to the Dail Mail we now have the figures:

Scotland	57%
Northern Ireland	76.2%
North East	64.9%
North West	56.1%
Yorkshire & Humberside	51.5%
Wales	66.2%
West Midlands	49%
East Midlands	45.5%
East Anglia	40.6%
London	35.6%
South West	46.1%
South East	36.3%

Now you might assume the Gorse Fox is complaining that public spending has risen from 38.9% of GDP to 43%... well you are right. He is not asking for the proportion that goes to the South-East to be increased, he is asking that all of the others are brought into line.

That won't happen, however, because how else can the current Soviet administration buy votes?
