Not just different measures in Scotland etc. but different measures from county to county in England as well. What's right for London and the South isn't necessarily right for Manchester, or Yorkshire, etc etc.



But then again; you could apply the above statement to pretty much every aspect of modern politics. No one is listening and it'll always remain London-centric.


Agree totally in what you say
