Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the baseline atomic-clock-following standard
GMT only happens to be equal to UTC±0 by arbitrary choice (because it was the baseline before UTC was designed).
By the same technique, BST is not GMT+1, it is UTC+1.
Every timezone in the world is defined as UTC plus or minus something. GMT is no different.
