As far as the Tories were concerned... London's self-government should be restricted... to a number of inimical local bodies as it was in the 19th century... while the real power in the capital was carved out between themselves... and their friends in the City.
para os Conservadores, a autonomía de Londres debía limitarse a uns poucos órganos hostís, coma no século XIX, cando eles se repartían o verdadeiro poder cos seus amigos da City.
