I thought it was London and Southern England largely supporting the rest of the UK and to some extent probably the EU as well. From the look of it it is something we are doing well. Shouldn't we be glad?

Maybe the future of London is as a population doughnut - an outer ring of people with an empty central zone consisting of uninhabited properties.
