YP Letters: The great divide clearly exhibited for all to see

A Tate member of staff poses in front of a wall of photographs at the press view of "The Radical Eye: Modernist Photography from the Sir Elton John Collection" exhibition at the Tate Modern gallery in London.

WE in Yorkshire are constantly derided because we say there  is a North-South divide in England.

I, too, didn’t really believe it but a recent visit to London’s Tate Modern gallery to see a fantastic exhibition of 200 of Elton John’s photographs has changed my view.

The gallery has a new expensive addition and there is a carpeted room the size of a Northern street where you are invited to lie down and listen to different sounds.

All we saw were a load of young people lying down and using their phones.

What a waste of taxpayers’ money. It would never happen here.

THE Yorkshire Post and the  Leeds business fraternity think Britain is too London-centric, when they themselves wish to do the same thing with everything in Yorkshire centred around Leeds.

The latest calamity to  befall ‘our’ region is the  prospect of 2,000 tax office jobs currently based in Shipley and Bradford city centre to be transferred, adding to the madness of commuting into Leeds.
