   "Perceptions" note:

   UK residents (and anyone who does a websearch on those 
   UK locations) will know that the list shows the rural and
   industrial working-class areas - where people pay the
   HIGHEST net tax rates - are receiving the LEAST amount 
   of education funding.

   We also see the rich areas taking hugely inflated
   amounts - from taxes paid by the middle and low paid.

   [Rich retired politicians live in the Isles of Scilly (area 1)
   and rich (working?) politicians and their real bosses - the
   super-rich - live in areas of London in 2nd, 3rd 4th and 5th
   places.]
