Labour's public sector spending has created a wave of 'Soviet' boroughs where around half the population depends on the state for work, figures revealed yesterday.
An analysis of council statistics showed that in ten areas more than 40 per cent of the workforce is employed in the public sector.
Many are deprived areas where the true dependency on the state will be far greater once benefit payments to those out of work are taken into account.
All but two have Labour MPs - the others are Liberal Democrat.
Top of the list compiled by the Centre for Economics and Business Research is Castle Morpeth, Northumberland, where - in an echo of the Soviet system where everyone was employed by the state and therefore owed their loyalty to the communist party - 57.1 per cent of jobs are in the public sector.
Morpeth, a medieval market town in the heart of the borough, is one of the most desirable places to live in the North East, with surrounding villages home to Premier League footballers.
But the town is also the administrative centre of the borough council and Northumberland county council, which accounts for much of its state sector employment.
Even accounting for this, the public sector dominance in Morpeth is actually understated.

Coming soon to a nation near you. :D
The parasites will kill the host. Us next.
And has driven out nearly all private employers (you know - the guys who pay the taxes which pay for the public sector jobs).
I stopped even reading posts on Britain/UK. They’re so far gone, I’ll wait for the revolution!
That is how liberals guarantee power.
Marx was right. Conservatives used it as a warning. Liberals used it as a playbook.
PS: F*** Karl Marx and every communist and socialist on this planet.
Imagine, all Maggie Thatcher’s hard work digging Britain out of the doldrums only to recede back to a welfare State again; makes one wonder: why bother at all?
Once a nation reaches the point at which more people are on the dole than are working, the workforce are enslaved.
Work harder, work longer shout the porch monkies. I want lollipops. I want a new car, a big one. Get a raise you big honkey; make more money for me.

Most people want socialism. Look at the three systems of the 20th century; capitalism, communism and fascism.
This sounds like northern Virginia!
To fightinJAG:
Come to my county, Arlington. Being run into the ground by taxing, lying Democrats, and home to many illegal aliens and their elected supporters.
We are fu*ked.
Welcome, also, to Newspaper Britain, where every sentence is a separate paragraph.
Yep. Been there. Seen that.
Sounds like the parts of New Jersey where financiers and pharm execs DON'T live. I swear, there are some towns in this state that shall remain nameless where everyone and their dumb cousin are employed by the state/township/city, either directly or indirectly (via "contracting").
