I\u2019m interested in inequality and what is happening with that.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to talk a bit about housing, the problem of getting housing.<\/p>\n

A little bit about health, and the health crisis at the moment.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019m going to stick a bit about Brexit in \u2013 why not?<\/p>\n

So I will definitely upset somebody.<\/p>\n

Whenever I go somewhere \u2013 and I have not been here before (but I have been down to the beech because it is where Geographers go and measure things) \u2013 I draw one of these<\/a> maps:<\/p>\n

You should have a sign up at the train station that says: \u201cWelcome to Weymouth, the most socially divide small urban settlement on the South coast of the country.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

The dark reds are in the poorest tenth of areas, probably ex-council estates, but I could get it wrong. The green is the poshest and the dark green is the poshest of all.<\/p>\n
