A political choice was taken to make us a country that dealt with services and not manufacturing. The problem being services can be highly concentrated in small booming areas.
This wasn’t the fault of the EU. Successive governments of both colours did little to resolve it just parking people on benefits until they got to pension age. It was only sustainable during the boom. Now it’s not. Austerity has hit the exact same communities again.
We digress... but at least there’s some agreement!
