london nuked

[Steve]

The primary service industry bringing money into the country is finance, we are world bankers. In recent years the financial services sector alone has contributed way more than the entire UK manufacturing base.

Like it or not, London makes a massive contribution to the UK balance of payments, and a country that imports 60% of food needs that. Hotels, Pubs, Cleaning Companies etc. etc. aren't helping much, tourism is comparatively tiny so mostly they just take money from UK citizens and it ends up being spent abroad on imported goods.

If the financial services sector was destroyed we couldn't afford to feed ourselves. ( When I write "we" I refer to the general public, "we" as in "you and I" are ready for it, on that I'm sure we can agree ).
