If Britain were a United State of America, then she would be the second poorest, between Alabama and Mississippi.
Inner London may be the richest area in Northern Europe, but we have nowhere else in the Top 10, although we do have nine of the 10 poorest. We have 11 areas that are poorer than Eastern Europe.
There ought to be a weekly news magazine, similar in format to The Spectator or the New Statesman, featuring a columnist from each of those areas.
As well as a column by each of the signatories here and here, together with one nominee of each in the United Kingdom, and one anywhere else in the world, with the possible exception of the United States, of and from which we already hear a great deal.
But I am not holding my breath.
