Could part of the problem be that The Policy Exchange and other government groups still operate in a way that is London-centric. Liverpool, Preston, Carlisle, Glasgow Leeds, Sheffield all have to fight that little bit harder to make gains because the largest proportion of the national wealth is still poured into the affluent south east. Manchester has proved that Commonwealth games and city centre bomb blasts can transform, but they are the exception to the rule. If the 2012 Olympics had been staged at a centre of Manchester or even Birmingham many more of the lottery players and taxpayers, a greater proportion of the general population of the country would have seen changes to things that matter in a real sense. Move the BBC, the HSE, and anybody else who has the vision out of the capital and let people see the sheer size of the UK. You may be surprised that there is actually (a good) life beyond Watford Gap. Noseycow, you have shown your class.
