From the land of haribos.

Did you know this? I was surprised to find it out, but apparently the square mile have its own special status and secrets, it have its own flag of an upside down cross and it doesnt belong to any boroughs, it is home to freemasonry, do you know why they have its own flag and got its own status?

The city of london is the only part of britain over which parliament has no authority over, the mayor of londons mandate stops at the boundaries of the square mile, there are two cities, one of which must unsee the other.

Most of what you have just said is absolute rubbish although you are right that it isn't part of a borough it is a borough in its own right.

Yes, and I work in the square mile. The queen cannot enter unless invited, the Mayor of London cannot enter either.

On top of that, within the square mile there are buildings dedicated to each trade (carpentry, trading, fishing etc) and that the square mile boundary is marked by dragons.

It also has its own police force to cover the square mile. Love the square mile & its history throughout the ages.

Including a Roman temple being found.

The city of London has its own police force rather than the met however it is still under regulatory control of the government so I dont understand what you are trying to say. Yes the city of London has it own major but it isn't somehow a special place that has its own laws separate to the rest of the capital.

I'm sure there are lots of old laws and traditions that cover the city of London but they're not really implemented but then the same came be said for the whole country.

Agreed, it's an odd subject to bring up though I must admit.

What OP wrote is typical conspiracy noise, but yes CoL is a bit special. For example, it tends to have its own diplomatic missions to important market and countries, e.g. it does have a diplomatic mission to the EU separate from the UK diplomatic mission. The CoL Corporation is the oldest corporation in the world limited by shares and it owns or manages all of London bridges, and most parks and lidos. The monarch is not expected to just show up within the borders of the CoL, unless invited. It also has its own Remembrancer who sits on all parliamentary sessions of the House of Commons watching out for the interests of CoL. Wikipedia is your friend.

Just to tack on some actual facts as well;

The CoL's flag is a shield with St George's cross on it with a sword in the top left, flanked by two dragons. There isn't an upside down cross.

There is an excellent stage drama about the history of The City of London called Dick Whittington.

And a Roman Colosseum, you can visit the remains of both.

Still there in parts of London. Especially near the Tower of London there's a huge section still standing.

Underneath the Guildhall. There's not much of it left but it is quite interesting all the same.
