2. So if London was attacked or involved in a war, can it raise an army. Or is the idea that London would back out of all wars and global projection of power?
3. Does London have enough natural resources to sustain itself, so thinking about power, water etc.
4. I thought one of the reasons that attracted outside investment to London was the stability of the UK?Comment
