Eight new cities have been named for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, with at least one in every UK nation - and on the Falkland Islands and Isle of Man.

It is a first for places in an Overseas Territory - Stanley, in the Falklands - and a crown dependency - Douglas, in the Isle of Man - to win city status.

</quotes>

Stanley - where the entire Falkland's population is less than 4,000 ?

There are housing estates in the UK with more residents.

It completely devalues the idea that "city" is anything special and worthy. It's a purely political decision.
