Whether this is the TRUTH is very difficult to test, but certainly

away, they just have to look at the inputs and outputs and treat
London as a "black box"), you must come to see London as a
grudge-holder, a spiteful and vindicitive entity, though people
don't like to face up to it.

I don't think there's actually a grudge - it's just a resentment
that they're not getting properly funded when the other cities are.

So you agree it exists, if it's not a "grudge", then what is it?

I just told you!

I can't think of a single word for it

Indignation. Righteous indignation if you can stretch to two.
