    It's 06:12 P.M. UTC (since there is no GMT except you reffer to London/Greenwitch time in a causal/informational context otherwise use the coresponding naming for the timezone)

    There is GMT. It's now 9:05PM GMT. It's 10:05PM GMT+1. It's 11:05PM GMT+2. It has nothing to do with context. There is no timezone police that goes around and enforces people to use UTC, that's wishful thinking on your part. GMT exists, and while less scientifically stable, and may at some point be deprecated, it is widely used still to this day. It exists all around the world and does not relate to the UK or indicate an UK-centric view.

    It's like saying yards and inches don't exist, because they're not part of the international standard. And technically, it would be easier and more convenient if everyone would use standard measurement units, but saying other people are wrong using those is fascist and nothing more. And in this case, it's even more meaningless, because the two standards are pretty much the same.
