> The City of London is a tax haven.

Flat out not true.

This is where you quote an article from Nicholas Shaxson wherein he wrote a book on the subject in which he totally failed to prove his assertion. A company in the city of london is subject to all the same laws as anywhere else in the UK.

Stop lying

Shaxson the Zurich based UFO spotter who failed to comprehend the existence of the 32 London Boroughs that along with the City of London make up Greater London. (He apparently thought the Mayor of London ran everything outside of the City.)
