I am also against the recent creation of a fifth province of the United Kingdom, Livingstonia, or ‘Greater London’. This sizeable Republic (for its elected head of state is really a mini-President, though he is called a mayor) subverts the whole shape of the British constitution, and creates a needless new power in the country. What London needs is small, efficient, truly local borough councils, not some grandiose and gargantuan Thing.
