Yes. Frankly, he's a fairly typical example of why the UK is so utterly f!cked.

It doesn't sound insane or evil to me. Either he is telling the truth that visitors from abroad who go to Scotland, Wales etc are mostly planning their trips around London plus whatever other bits of Britain catch their fancy, in which case joint marketing makes perfect sense. Or he is making it up. But the numbers seem to be on his side. Either way, you are wildly overreacting. |

Nope, he a politician, and not a single one of them are real. They're all in their own little world. |

What numbers are those then? Because none of the numbers he's listed as quoting actually back up his proposition very much at all. There are some fairly obvious questions to ask, and the statistics to answer them would shed great light on the validity of his position. Yet strangely he fails to mention any of them, instead concentrating purely on government expenditure. He presents little argument as to why London should get more, mainly complaining about the amounts everyone else gets. He sees only self-interest and can't form a convincing argument. Yet somehow he has an expectation that his argument will be accepted on the basis of some authority I seem to be unable to discern. There are far too many people like him in positions of (greater or lesser) power in the UK, all suffering from a major case of Dunning-Kruger. |

The money should be spread around. If those traders in London want more spent on promotion for London they should pay for it. |
