I call it Londonization, when the entire nation’s resources is focused into one city (usually its capital) in the expense of others that are being neglected. See similar issues in France and to an extreme, Russia (with Moscow and St. Peterburg).
Also another issue: the unnatural population growth and demographic shifts and placing them in cities without the funds and resources to handle them. It’s only natural that the working class will end up fighting for less resources when they now have to deal with an extra million poor people from the third world who need the same resources.
It’s a shame too because surely these people never voted for it, but it was all dumped on them by their politicians who “knew” better.
Interesting point in that article that says it all really – The amount Birmingham council has fallen into debt is actually broadly similar to the cuts from Westminster it has received from 2010. Even with the cack-handling and cock-ups, if Westminster just continued to fund local authorities at a consistent rate, this probably would not even have been a problem. Wasteful yes but not impacting local residents to nearly the same degree it now will.
It boils down to:
– encourage wealth inequality through taxation and social policies
– rich move to nice city areas such as London, Edinburgh etc.
– small towns full of people earning not much so they can’t employ people or pay for stuff therefore they collapse.
– poor people move to cities for work, can’t afford property, so live in slums on the outskirts.
See Bogotá for info.
The TL-DR:
* Strong Men Create Good Times
* Good Times Create Weak Men
* **Weak Men Create Hard Times** <-you are here
* Hard Times Create Strong Men
We cannot afford this wokeism, centralisation, or democracy. We must return to subsidiarity, returning power to local aristocrats.

Neo-feudalism is our only hope now.
