    I don’t kid myself for one second that the government under David Cameron was conservative with a small ‘c’. The self-proclaimed ‘heir to Blair’ was certainly something with a small ‘c’, but it wasn’t conservative.

    "New Zealand said on Tuesday it would like to expel Russian spies in retaliation for allegedly poisoning an ex-agent in Britain - only it can't find any Moscow operatives in the country."

    They must be better spies in NZ

    Reminds me of the old Goon Show gag:

    Neddy Seagoon: I’m not a spy, I’m a shepherd!

    Moriarty: Ah, so you’re a shepherd’s pie!

    Fragging is very similar to Fracking expect they use J Cloths instead of the traditional Tampons used with Fracking
    Both methods are not I repeat are Not good for the environment
    Bottom line ...

    heard some interesting news yesterday.
    apparently some index thingy gave London top spot for finance beating New York. So What happened to Paris and Frankfurt? You remember all the companies were moving out to these places (s0o we were told). Paris didn't even make top 10 and fell in it's standing. Frankfurt didn't even make the list. <laugh>
    More project fear debunked.

    Let’s all remember this post in 5 years
    London should take about that amount of time to ease off. I stand that the things I have seen are all in preparation. We are still in Europe by the way why would anything change yet? They will all go if it’s in their interests make no mistake about that Ellers

    London has always been the top financial city in recent years ... Everythibg will be done I expect to save it ... what this goes to show that these businesses and not all financial can afford to set aside billions to cover all bases. This has nothing to do with Brexit

    Retail looks in crisis if the U.K. big shop starts to fail watch them all switch the market. I believe they want and need the U.K. culture frankly because it is so stupid

    I got it the wrong way around. Apologies, that global hub of Paris didn't make the list. Even Toronto is higher than both Frankfurt and Paris. Had a chat with a French chap at the weekend based in Paris who deals in lifts. Very interesting comments. His company didn't want Brexit and doesn't seem to think there will be a problem dealing with us in the future. Oh and just for all the 'Remoaners' His contacts all say the same in that they respect us and still want to work with us. I guess all the doom and gloom is produced in the UK?

    If coming top of some index thing equalled the vast profits going toward solving social problems in the UK and around the world, I'd be delighted, but whilst it reflects the bank balances and dominance of wealthy businesses who pay their labour forces as little as legally possible, it makes no real difference.

    Incredibly proud of Jeremy for apologising to the Jewish community for the anti-Semitism that they made up to damage his leadership.

    A Soviet spy, an IRA supporter and an anti-Semite walk into a bar... The barman says, "Good evening Jez, apple juice is it?"

    To be fair Woody, if it was the opposite way round and London hadn’t made the list and, say Frankfurt was top.....the remaining lot would be on here pointing to the fact that doom is coming round the corner and this just proves it.

    It's pretty clear re the Russian poisonings and the antisemitism in Labour that there is a chasm in that party. Surely the right thing, is for Jezza to go off and form another party and take all his Jew hater followers with him. A name for his new party? I'm thinking that since Jezza claims to espouse socialism, he could call it the National Socialist Party :emoticon-0100-smile

    I didn't mean it with any leave/remain slant, merely as an acknowledgement that success is measured primarily in financial terms, as opposed to social conditions and that there is no specific relationship between the two. I find that strange.

    What exactly are the allegations of anti-Jewish sentiment. I know about the mural, is there more to it?
