I’m a Londoner, I used to have this friend (who is not a Londoner) we had a huge disagreement on topic unspecified. But after I’ve watched this video I think I see his viewpoint, which is true. I just don’t see it at all because there’s such a enormous disconnect between London and the rest of the country.
I would recommend you to watch the video as well, some arguments made in the video are slightly misleading, but the general picture is clear and true.
Yeah, even London isn’t all that. It’s more like a third world country bolted onto the Square Mile, and the same thing is now happening to Ireland.
