Good questions . Singapore seems to manage. as for footsoldier/cannon fodder we can always hire the unemployed from the regions to and do our fighting for us.Originally posted by woohoo View PostSounds a good idea, couple of questions.
1. What would happen if there was global banking crisis, would London have enough taxpayers to cover it's liability?
2. So if London was attacked or involved in a war, can it raise an army. Or is the idea that London would back out of all wars and global projection of power?
3. Does London have enough natural resources to sustain itself, so thinking about power, water etc.
4. I thought one of the reasons that attracted outside investment to London was the stability of the UK?Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment
