Society is not compassionate these days. That's the fundamental problem I think. I've lived in various locations in the UK over the years, and it is my experience that the further south you head toward London, the less compassionate it gets.

I'm not sure why it is the way it is, whether its population density or just inherent differences between regions, but the divisions absolutely exist.

London drives politics, and so, no matter the party in government, they will reflect London in their policies. That's where the perceived lack of compassion comes from, and at least part explains to me, why there is a gulf appearing between Scotland and the north, and the South of England.
