It's expensive and most of the jobs are there.
So why not relocate the companies across the UK and help out the struggling areas?
Disperse the people who live there and get rid of overcrowding.
OK I guess Londoners will think it's a terrible idea, but in the long run it would be more beneficial to the UK  | |||

" So why not relocate the companies across the UK and help out the struggling areas?" Because the new location doesn't have a pool of skilled and experienced staff just waiting to be hired. The high value jobs get transferred in the hands of the previous employees and all you do is move a few low value jobs for the locals "Disperse the people who live there and get rid of overcrowding. " If their now redundant they are not going to be able to disperse. And if overcrowding is a problem in the first place, people have a choice not to move there. | |||

"Or being equally as daft,,,,,, we could always make London an independent state which receives no additional govenment funding other than what it self-generates,,, That way the rest of the UK would not have to fund the disproportionate levels of government subsidy and investment the Capital receives...... Hey,,,,,,, or we could just leave things as they are and just demand our politicians spread their policy making decisions with a fairer eye on the whole nation rather than just focusing attention on the perceived value of the south east and it's worth to our over-all economy… " | |||

" I think that is a great idea, obviously to make it fair any tax income paid by London companies would have to be ring-fence to make sure it wasn't spent elsewhere. | |||

"No I don't claim to have any idea at all of the actual figures involved,,, and I do accept the City of London Square Mile undoubtedly generates a lot of money that does in part filter into the wider economy.....

I'd like to see a fiscal breakdown of the actual figures involved which clearly show a percentage related figure of nation-wide spread or distribution of profit and investment generated from the square mile,,, So do you have some of those figures to hand? because I'd be very interested to read them and I'd also be very interested to know the origin of your figures…......

"or we could move the major tourist attractions to other parts of the country.. Big Ben in Scunthorpe.. Buck house, edge of an estate in Manchester.. just cant see the average high spending tourist from the USA, Japan etc traipsing up there tbh.. disclaimer, there are some stunning parts of this country with beautiful attractions of their own.. London is what it is.. " I totally agree | |||

Because it was merged with the Royal Bank of Scotland?
