Frank, that was soooo long that I could only be bothered to read the first two or three paragraphs. You might have some interesting points but I haven’t got the time to read them.

Basically I’m only looking for a level playing field. So tell me this. Why is London top of the per capita spending tables for England EVERY year? It’s the same for you and me, Frank; why are more of the taxes that you and I pay spent in London than in the areas in which we live? It’s been that way for 50 years with few exceptions. Think that one through and give me a reasoned and reasonable answer.
