Actually, there are quite a few areas of West London that are inhabited by "Champagne Socialists". They vote Labour because they can afford to do so.

Conservatives now know what they need to be offering the young at the next election from the £360m per week #Brexit dividend, just to level the playing field. ::) ::) ::)


Sadly I now think that BREXIT will be so soft that we will be more or less still in the EU, but without any MEP's, EU Commissars, or representation on The Council of Europe.  :-\

It will mean governance without representation and there will be no dividend as we'll still be paying in.  :o  >:(

I tend to agree. I think we will have a 'lite' version of 'Brexit lite'

That is what I was saying on page 1:
"From the "ruling classes" has come the most rampant Socialist types. ;)

They can afford to be Socialist and it makes a wonderful badge for them to wear. 

It is a strange world" ::) ::) ::) ;)

Sorry Lizzie, I missed it somehow. But yes absolutely. I recall visiting people in W something or other, house at least 1m or so, accents so posh they sounded disabled, kids private school, and prattling on about various lefty opinions.

I was asked about my politics. I responded "somewhere to the right of Genghis Khan". Didn't go down too well  ::)

Those who live in k+c who are British and can vote will, start to moan a little bit when comrade corbyn raise's there tax to 50% and some, then they will, try and force another election and re-vote tory.

Which is exactly why McDonnell's tax and spend plans wouldn't have worked out so well.  ::)

But then seeing as he was sacked by Ken Livingstone back in the 1980's as Finance Chief at the old GLC for nearly bankrupting London, he has form for fantasy economics!  ;D

You'd have thought the Tories would have done a hatchet job on him for that little indiscretion.  ::)

Hmmmm well, if one believes the rhetoric why did they vote Labour if they evade UK taxes ?

No. You're totally wrong. They pay their taxes, but they earn so much that they can afford them.
