abyss? the UK is one of the best examples of capitalism and free trade in the world.
London is the world capital of finance, with NYC and Tokyo on 2nd place. the UK is ahead of the RoW when it comes to finance by at least 2 years.
northern Europe is too small to matter on the world stage. the Tokyo metropolis is larger than the whole of northern Europe in terms of population and wealth.

- kmlx 8y agoOnly Yorkshire, North East and North West have been "left behind" (and that's only when compared to the rest of the UK, not the rest of Europe). The rest of the regions (SW, SE, E, both Midlands) have seen increases in wealth of about 30% in the last 20 years.
