No Steve that's a fallacy, What actually happens is most of the wealth creating jobs in manufacturing, farming, industry, fishing, tourism etc are spread right across the UK but the companies registered offices are located and registered in London, EG Royal Royce makes jet engines in Derby and cars some place else but their Head Office is in London where its returns are recorded thus the profit is shown to be made in London.

The much vaunted money markets of London they say creates the wealth of London is the banks taking in all the money fro the entire countries savings, current accounts, pension schemes etc where they lend it out to others.

London in fact has the greatest number of NON wealth crating jobs in the country as well.
"Across the UK the percentage of people employed in the public sector varies. Northern Ireland (27.6%) and Wales (25.2%) both had more than a quarter of their workforce employed in the public sector. Within England, the South East (16.2%) and East (16.3%) had the lowest percentage of their workforce employed in the public sector. However across the UK, London had the highest number of people employed in the public sector at 739,000 but it has a larger population than other areas of the UK."

London does have a fabulous selection of small scale manufacturing like clothing, fashion and design, media and marketing, research etc but NONE of them are essential to the survival of the country.

As I said above the rest of the country could survive very easily without London because London does not provide ANY of the ESSENTIALS in life we can easily live without CURRENCY or the "wealth" London creates ( but consumes) but the;

FOOD
WATER
FUEL
CLOTHING
BUILDING MATERIALS
AGREGATES
FISHERIES
CHEMICALS
VEHICLES (Land Sea and Air)
DEFENCE
MEDICAL SUPPLIES

ALL the essentials of survival are made far from London, so wipe out London and the rest will still keep going.

Now imagine if the rest of the UK woke up one day and decided it was no longer going to be held hostage to the London centric government, tax collectors and ruling elite we we stopped sending in commuters to run the services, stopped sending food, fuel, water , electricity etc, stopped taking out Londons sewage and rubbish, London would go down in an hour but the rest of the country would survive.

Its the Farmers, Fishermen, Power Station Workers, Water Workers, Weavers, Chemical Workers, Train/ car/ plane makers who keep the country alive and they are all far from London.
