amirite 
A german guy once told me that almost all of the UK's industry is built around London, everywhere else it's like traveling to a 3rd world country.
NK: Corrupt dangerous government oppressing it's own people. No one loses in this country being gone.
Somalia: Pirates attack citizens in the Indian ocean and kidnap people in Kenya. (I've never met a Somalian and don't care that there are somalian immigrants here. I don't even live in the city)
Argentina: Because it's full of argie bastards. It's a shame there isn't a second Belgrano to sink.
Palestine: No-good terrorists, at constant ends with our Israeli allies.
The many african nations: Warring tribal nations that manipulate and oppress their people, not ending the poverty in those countries and aiding the spread of disease throughout the continent.
Industry is focussed on London and every other city in the UK.
London is the economic and financial centre. It's not the industrial centre. There isn't a core industrial city.
