Have you even heard of the City of London?

City of London corporation coat of arms with Latin motto 'Lord direct us'.

Yes, most people would answer of course I have, not knowing that the inner 'Square Mile' is actually a separate state with its own police force, laws and regulations much like the Vatican in Rome. It constitutes one of the 33 (Freemason's magic number) local authority districts of greater London but unlike the other 32 it is not actually classified as a London borough as it is considered a separate county of England as well as a private corporation. This realization of course leads to many questions as to what's its specific purpose as well as how can just over one square mile be recognized as a separate county of England? Of course, I wish you good luck in finding out exactly why this is so and how this state of affairs is allowed to exist as most of its operations are shrouded in secrecy, just like those of the Vatican and Washington DC.

In my opinion, it is evidence of an underlying control system that is yet again antidemocratic by definition and most likely designed to keep the elite minority in power as they have been for centuries now, or some might say time immemorial. The fact that probably 99% of the average UK population has no idea that it even exists is very telling as well as the fact that the controlled propaganda machine that we know as the mainstream media never brings the question up. The powers that be tell us that we are living in a democracy yet so much of the political and government power structure and central banking practices are not clearly advertised to the public who remain unaware or asleep as they want you to be. I mean, think about if for a second, if within this square mile they can make their own laws and regulations including having their own police force, who exactly are they doing this for? (as it is clearly not in the best interests of the people).

Yes, I am aware of "The City of London". It is fantastic and unbelievable how this fact is rarely known to the average Briton let alone other nationalities. This is why it is my advice to you to include a few references in the post about it lest you be considered a rambling conspiracist.

Good advice thanks
