London may be the financial powerhouse today - but it wasn't always so, and many areas of the country have ploughed money into London over the years.

If the split happens - what percentage of the value of London's assets does rUK get. Many of the assets that currently reside in London were paid for off the back of things like medieval taxation, industrial revolution, and wealth brought in via various ports of the British empire.

If London wants to take it's ball home now it's top dog - surely suitable recompense for the many years money flowed the other way is in order wink

Why are there so many socialists in London? smile
