   Good. Tnx for all the details about territorial, state, ethnic and   
    other demographics.   
   I hope you do understand that wether it's the English, British,   
    Falklands, Gibraltar, UK or whatever it all boils down to London.   
      
      
   Those that I used as an example want to have London as their   
    metropolitan and military centre from which their fate is   
    determined. They don't want Berlin, Beijing, Moscow, Madrid or   
    Paris. They want London. Agreed?
