Unfortunately the knock on effect of the United Kingdom failing or "so if it burns soon" as you put it would be the collapse of the worlds financial markets and institutions, London being one of the most significant banking capitals.
So im afraid it would indeed be rather a big problem for the rest of the world.
but is it possible, just the square mile which is a separate entity to the rest of country already?

I don't see how it could be possible for a small part of a country to remain while the rest leaves , the constitutional issues alone would stop it happening I believe.

Who are these "EU traitors" through? To my mind that would be the majority of the rest of the population of the UK. Why should they be punished for expressing there legal right to vote, essentially abandoning the sinking ship that is the European Union?
Its the bankers and political scum that reside/conduct business in the city of London that should be punished for allowing the nation to become a cesspool.

That's the point, the rest of the world gets to keep the banking, but the rest of the UK doesn't. I'm talking about only the City of London, the square mile of banking. In fact it might adopt the Euro or make it's own currency, then there would be direct trading between London currency and the Euro, USD but not with the Pound. The pound will loose its status as a world currency, it wont worry the rest of the world as they are dealing with City of London now, and the "EU traitors" will be punished.
