I'd love the Midlands to have some proper investment. I could move back home rather than be trapped in the South where I can't afford a home, but it's also the only place where I can get a decent tech job.
Successive governments have failed me. They crippled the Midlands, they made it attractive for tech startups to be in the M4 corridor, and they kept on allowing more and more money to be pumped into housing.
It's similar government failures that have people talking about capacity. We don't build enough homes, our current housing regulations say we have the smallest homes in Europe, we make ATROCIOUS use of the land we have, our road network is renewed and reviewed at a GLACIAL pace, our rail network has almost no central direction, our health service is seeing stealth cut after stealth cut, and the government has committed a gross abdication of responsibility with education by basically saying "We can't be bothered, can you set a school up for us?".
Continual over investment in the South has left a lot of bitter Midland/Northern/Scottish/Welsh/and Northern Irish sentiment to a load of Eton lads who seem to have a jolly old time of it. We're the sixth biggest economy in the world and a proper plan could be fixing this. But no, instead we've had 30 years of saying "Well if you want a job move south", and now we're reaping the disaster that's causing to our infrastructure.
It makes me so angry for blame to be so easily transferred from government to immigrants, benefit recipients, and basically anyone else vulnerable.
