| You're lucky to have us mate. London is the only thing going for this country. We should be betting /more/ on London. |

| On the flip side, that's mostly because London takes all their wealth and crowds out wealth generation |

We're ~30 years into a new information/digital revolution and London is a world centre of it. There's plenty of wealth generation happening. People are welcome to sit and wait for it to come to them if they want. | | |

| The UK is run as a city state for London's behalf. The odd thing is that it makes fun of all those coal mining and oil producing areas whose wealth it has been only too happy to steal. A sort of internal colonialism. |
