I've just been rumaging through the Smith Institute's The Future of the Yorkshire and Humber report (I wrote about it back at its launch in November last year) when this diagram from Chapter Four caught my eye.
When you look at the picture below bear in mind this chapter is penned by Yorkshire Forward and the local Government office and is designed to aid people's understanding of the region as well as promote and endorse it to would be inward investors.
If anyone can tell me just what the relationship between functional subregions and thematic boards is, based purely on the diagram above, I'm willing to buy them the slap up Italian dinner that the above "plate of spaghetti" diagram seems to be depicting.
What a joke. These organisations just exist to pay themselves salaries!
