In your opinion...
London, the capital of England and the United Kingdom, is a 21st-century city with history stretching back to Roman times. At its centre stand the imposing Houses of Parliament, the iconic ‘Big Ben’ clock tower and Westminster Abbey, site of British monarch coronations. Across the Thames River, the London Eye observation wheel provides panoramic views of the South Bank cultural complex, and the entire city.

The UK is not a country. End of discussion - and London isn't my capital.
With any luck you won’t visit London then!

Your's is not the only opinion that matters. People across the world see London as the UK capital. I am from Scotland and consider myself British. I see Endiburgh as the Scottish capital (a regional capital if you like) but London as the actual capital. Is that "end of discussion"?

Nope. UK is not a country hence why it's not my capital.
That really isn't too difficult to understand. London is England's capital not the capital of Wales, Ireland or Scotland.

Are you suggesting that I am stupid?

Far from it.
I am just explaining my logic as to why London is not my capital.
God save our Nicola. ???????

Sorry. This is what you have to expect when an American tries to offer help.

This might be your opinion, but it certainly is a country according to the United Nations. http://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/countries-in-the-un/

Guess they're also wrong as the UK is not a country.

Crawford, if my name was Nicholas Parsons I’d have buzzed you for repetition about 10 times.
You have said your bit and your reasoning behind it (which is fair enough as it is your opinion and you have a right to it)
But if anyone disagrees with you, you just sling the same words back at them again and again, not just this thread either.
Change the record man.
You are the first to shout at the merest whiff of an anti Scotland post or thread. The comparison of the Scottish Parliament Building budget is a perfectly valid point and your reaction predictable.
Please accept that other people will have different opinions to yours, agree to disagree and move on,

It’s a crazy amount to spend on a clock but so be it get it done.
London generates more than its fair share of revenue and attracts more businessmen and wealth than any other UK city. It’s a drop in the ocean and we shouldn’t have to sacrifice any of our heritage especially in London.
Scotland’s deficit is shambolic, so I always find it hilarious when such hatred is shown towards London and spending.

It's quite simple in my opinion. It deserves to be restored simply for what it is and the world renowned reputation as a world icon and tourist spot in the same way should something happen to Edinburgh Castle, Forth Bridge, or any similar famous site in any part of the Union.

Just for clarification here is the definition of capital city:
"the city or town that functions as the seat of government and administrative centre of a country or region."

There is absolutely no "hatred" in my post. Simple disgust at such a phenomenal waste of taxpayers money.
The government would be better giving that money to the Met.

Funnily enough I don't see you taking your Billy Big Boy stance in the SNP thread.
Funny that.
