"Gordon Brown has been accused of attempting to bribe voters as new research shows that billions of pounds of public money is being diverted from rural areas to traditional Labour heartlands.
Official figures show that vast sums have been shifted from Tory-leaning country shires and transferred to Labour-supporting towns and cities over the past decade.
Councils in London are now receiving twice as much per head of population from central government as their rural counterparts, according to statistics from the independent House of Commons Library.
The government funding gap between urban and rural areas has grown dramatically since Labour came to power in 1997."
Read the whole article and then remember the question of what hospitals get increased funding from a few years back. You might make the charge of corruption, I couldn't possibly comment?
