No, I think you're failing to take into account that London requires more money per head because the cost of living here is a lot higher than up north.
I'm not saying its just because there are more people, houses etc...but the cost of those houses are a lot more. The average wage is higher in London, so for those on benefits require more to keep up with London costs.
I mean, you live down here yourself!!! lol. Because you know there is more work, more money etc. London contributes more in many areas for so many reasons, I shouldn't have to explain this.
It does not mean that the north should be ignored, but you can't compare the cost of life in London to Newcastle and say they should be a flat rate, thats ridiculous.
- Property, Rent, Travel etc are all cheaper outside of London because the services are in higher demand and use etc.sem
- Are in higher demand in London that is*sem
- £150,000 could prob buy a nice big place in Scotland. In London thats not even a studio flat.sem
- Why would Newcastle warrant the same £££ when it doesn't provide same the same jobs. tax revenue etc as LDNsem
- Like feeding starving chicks, the weaker ones will perish.chossy
