Right but the party currently in power in the UK made a big deal about "levelling up", hence the "levelling down" in the title. So to see that there's been little to no positive results (quite the opposite) suggests that they didn't actually care or do much about it.
No it does not. I'm saying the problem is much bigger than one country. And it's horrifying to observe how people don't realize what it means for them, for everything actually.
