The world-famous Holier Than Thou department of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation has this morning announced a Great Revelation which came to their expensively-commissioned 'university researchers' at the very moment they closed their copy of My First History Book which you read when you were eight.
'People live in towns and cities because it's cheaper than living in the country.'
The voices in their heads told them to inform the taxpayer-funded parasites at a Labour-established Defra quango who in their turn told their mates at the BBC which is running the Rowntree Revelation as a 'business news' headline on all channels.
The full press release details what, in terms of economics, all normal grown-ups (i.e., non-sociologists) since the time of Gilgamesh have regarded as the bleeding obvious.
Asked for a comment, Little Piddling's village idiot muttered, 'Yeah, 'strue innit. I'm skint, anyway. Save Britain's world class universities. Riot now. Gissa fag, mate.'

And so it would seem. After all, it was DEFRA, under the watch of that wonderful Miliband D, that unleashed the last outbreak of Foot & Mouth.
