World Trade Organization London is the largest city in the world I type of highest number of HQ for major international corporations. The UK houses many of the world’s 500 biggest firms. The US is the only country in the world with more firms. The 500 biggest firms by market value have a combined value of $1.16 trillion. Two of the world four largest oil companies are registered in the UK, bp and Shell. Some of the largest mining companies are located in the UK. It is maybe a surprise for you, but the activities are not stationed in the UK. The mines do you find in Africa, Asia and Latin-America. The British Empire had its seat in London and colonies around the world. The companies have their seat in London and mines around the world. I can’t tell the difference, can you? Products like tobacco, oil, fruit and tea are produced outside the UK, but where does the money ends up? I think the UK, and the west. What do you think? The trade balance is in favor for the UK. They import to low prices, and export back to high prices. Very simple are the world ruled by a handful of rich imperialist countries. So the imperialism is in no doubt maintained. We just choose to do it in another way so it’s not so visible. We hide it and think it will disappear, but do we like it to? Yes! media type="custom" key="9112014" align="right"
