Labour arch twit, Austin Mitchell MP has said that London is sucking the life out of the country. This is the bleating of a victim culture weakling, who echoes the Marxist creed of 'somebody do it for me'. Basically, he has it the wrong way around. London is a centre of activity because it tries to be. The North is the way it is because people with the attitude of this small minded gimp hold sway.
He blames Thatcher for destroying manufacturing and focussing on the City. Certainly she could have helped more, but it had to destroy itself. I think the Unions in the Seventies and the Labour governments of the time did most of the work.
Similarly he blames London for the crushing of cities like Manchester and Liverpool. Many Northern cities boomed during early Industrial Revolution manufacturing, but were not adept at moving with the times once established. That was their downfall. Liverpool was crushed, mainly due to its shipping moving to Felixstowe (hardly a city), where the ship owners could be assured of their vessel being unloaded, whereas in Liverpool they had to try to arrive in between strikes, something that became increasingly difficult.
Like Scotland, the North of England has been destroyed by throwing its lot in with Labour. Marxism was never intended to serve the people was it?
