from the linked to article “The figures from the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR)”
ok, maybe accurate but not encompassing the ‘grey’ economy of london.
for example: “This compares to London, which pays tax equivalent to 45.2 per cent of GDP created in the capital.”
how is that possible, or even relevant? when the london micro economy does not rely on gross domestic product for income, then those numbers make sense. the rest is just garbage, spouting off percentages as collected by their ‘centre’.
