This 'London running the country' topic needs some better accuracy.
It isn't 'London', it is a tight group of feckless politicians, Whitehall mandarins, lobbyists and the money(wo)men who fund them.
Out here in outer north west London, we've lost a municipal golf course, and a swathe of semi-natural ancient woodland to HS2, to enable the Heathrow Spur that was cancelled when HS2 appointed a new CEO. Without a link to Heathrow, to replace internal flights, why connect the North with a new rail line that goes 20 miles west?
The outer suburbs even with (supine) Tory MPs have little say in how the contry is run.Oh yeah, I completely agree, it's not my view but one I hear often enough.
