--- Quote ---Owing to the ambiguity of whether UTC or UT1 is meant, and because timekeeping laws usually refer to UTC, GMT is avoided in careful writing.

UTC and GMT (UT1) never differ by more than 0.9s.
GarandMarine:
I think what is meant by GMT's inaccuracy is:
--- Quote ---In the community of Greenwich, GMT (in the form of UTC) is the official time only during winter (during summer the time in Greenwich is British Summer Time rather than "GMT").
--- End quote ---
So GMT theoretically changes. UTC never does.
pwhodges:
No, no. GMT stays the same, but is only the official UK time for half the year.
ev4n:
Doesn't GMT change as GM moves around the country?
