London is a dump. I lived 250 miles from it yet only visited there twice in 40 years. The rest of the UK is far nicer.

Dan, this is a known story.

In modern terms, the *City of London* is known as the *One Square Mile*.

Outside of that, you're in metropolitan London, governed by a different jurisdiction.

When ppl in Britain talk about 'City Workers' ... they don't refer to the transit/govt workers, in let's say a metaphorical *Boston* or *NYC*, they refer to ppl, who work in London's One Square Mile's financial services sector. And thus, finance in London, is a whole different than in America, where the laws are uniform, across all jurisdictions.

Sorry, can't help but bring 'The Clash' in this topic.

It was Londinium. It is truly a manifestation of the new Roman Empire complete with ruins! The sun never sets on this financial empire.

Considering that seeing hoes in London, whether it be in the infamous *One Square Mile*, or the greater metropolis, grown out of Westminster Sq, is perfectly fine, esp for a guy who's got the cash to do. So I have no problems with the financial empire. In London, there would never have been an 'Eliot Spitzer' story, unlike NYC/USA, where Puritanical hypocrisy rules the land.

But don't you see, Londinium is the fulfillment of the Bible. The sun never sets on the British financial empire. It spans all four corners, north south east and west. http://www.newcovenanttheology.com/2013/02/gog-and-magog-explained.html The book of Revelation, chapter 20 says:

7 When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth —Gog and Magog —and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. 9 They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. 10 And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Gog and Magog are the two statues of the Square Mile, dressed in Roman uniforms: http://www.newcovenanttheology.com/2013/02/gog-and-magog-in-united-kingdom.html

You forgot Mordor. It's Gog, Magog, Mordor, and Hogsmeade. Those are the four nations spanning the four corners of the Earth. And there can be only one. I have the power. Play the Queen music.

I think you mean the Square Mile. I thought you worked in finance.
