All northern 'people' are working class. Everything else stems from there. Off you go.

In comparison anywhere in the UK will be sh*t compared to say New York City, and anywhere in the UK will also be better than some remote village in africa.. it's a meaningless comparison.

Need to think of the country as a whole, not just sections which do good and ones which do bad.

"London is bankrolling less affluent areas of the country to the tune of more than £13bn a year, new research reveals today.
The report from Oxford Economics, an independent think-tank, shows that the average person living or working in the capital pays about £1,740 a year more in tax than he or she gets back in public spending on infrastructure such as roads and schools. The South-east and East Anglia contribute more than £1,000 a head to the nation's coffers each year, while the rest of the country is a drain on Whitehall.
Northern Ireland is the most heavily-subsidised region of the country, each resident enjoying about £3,700 a year more in public spending than he or she pays in taxes. Wales, the North-east and Scotland are the other big winners. The report estimates that London, the South-east and East Anglia together have paid out a net £250bn over the past 10 years."
