Poor storage though. No where to put a bag.

There are problems with the lack of affordable housing and high rents. But it's too easy to blame these problems on 'incomers'.

Anyone see 'Brexit Reality' on Channel 4 last night? It demonstrated two things: You should never underestimate how ill informed some people are, and think very carefully before visiting Wakefield.

I don't understand why people who have moved into an area aren't considered 'part of the community'. After how long are they designated part of the community? If someone moved in 10 years ago for example - are they still an interloper? The issue with rents is part of a wider issue of dysfunctional property and land values.

Agree with you both Blah and Loz. I'm guessing that Khan is relying on the fact that Uber will now make some concessions and be able to continue operating.

People going to a live event and then watch it through their phone. Urggghghghghhhhhh.

With each new model, the gains are becoming more and more marginal. Waterproof phones are good and the camera on the iPhone 7 takes very good portraits. But let's face it, most phones now do more than you need them too already. I mean how many apps do you regularly use - about 10% of them at most?

Despite the high number of Indian restaurants on the Lane, there isn't really a great, standout one in my opinion. I've had good and bad experiences at most. I do agree that Barbur is pretty good (although it's been a long time since I got a curry from there).

Johnson is a fecking disgrace

Manson dog can feck oof. I miss H&G

What about the radio 'stars'. Hardly a competitive market there (BBC are dominate). With an almost limitless supply of talented young people looking to get a foot in the door, it's hard to see how some of these people are genuinely being paid a market rate.

Salaries will only rise further now in light of pay gap. The radio hosts are the most surprising. What's the market there exactly? Hardly high level of competition.

I'm with Loz on this. There are a few 'names' who if they left, probably could take their audience with them (those who a show's been built around)m, but for the majority of actors, they're infinitely replaceable by a whole host of potential, talented, out of work actors.

It is a bit of an effort though. I'm with Pugwash, a 2 hour limit would be more sensible and would save everyone unnecessary hassle.

The people behind the coal line campaign are actually getting out into the community and trying to improve things, so layoff the keyboard criticism.

Cava uses the champenoise traditional method and is a far better choice if you're looking for a cheaper alternative to Champagne than Prosecco. English sparkling wines can be excellent and whilst not cheap are better value than Champagne. Ridgeview do some good ones. The Prosecco fad is a triumph of marketing and brand over taste imo.

The question was specifically about gentlemen though. Does a gentlemen wear them?

A pair of linen trousers are preferable for the office imo. Shorts fine if you're working outside.

Sure you didn't Loz, just as you claim that you're 'not saying it isn't racism' (are you saying it is then?). It's the corollary of your argument that Boris is also abused on twitter. You can dance around your arguements as much as you like and accuse people of bias and logical errors, but it's all quite plainly an attempt to obfuscate. The truth is that Dianne Abbot has been on the receiving end of huge amounts of racist and mysogonistic abuse for years now. I'm happy to give my view on what was driving the press hounding, what's your opinion on it?

Corbyn was arguing for both, quite openly and he published costings against his spending plans. Now one can debate whether or not they stacked up, but at least he explained how he proposed to pay for his policies so that debate could take place. The Tories wouldn't even discuss it, provided no costings and refused to open their plans up to public scrutiny. In that context the childish 'magic money tree' put down comes across as rather pathetic.

May's unnecessary election cost taxpayers ?270m pounds. The Conservatives' failure has cost us another billion pounds in the form of a bribe to the DUP. The first thing the Tories do with their bought votes is to keep a pay freeze in place for Drs, nurses, firefighters, police officers, soldiers and other public servants. Their own pay is excluded of course (MPs have had an 11% pay rise). All this and they cheer the result and jeer the opposition as if they were school children. Whatever one might think about the merits of relaxing the pay cap after six years, the sheer lack of awareness about the manner in which they've acted, the way they've conducted themselves and the message it sends to people, is really quite breathtaking.

Because someone (Boris in this case) has also been attacked on Twitter and the nature of that abuse wasn't racist or sexist, then no abuse is racist or sexist? And you're criticising erroneous thinking in others?

Loz Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > two people were treated > differently, she's black and female, he's white > and male, ergo it's racist and sexist. No. She's received sustained racist and sexist abuse (both online and in 'real life') and at the same time the press have singled her out disproportionately for negative attention (compared to say, Boris). It is perfectly valid to draw a conclusion about the motivation (whether you agree or not). Your assertion that pointing to the easily demonstrated nature of online abuse against Dianne Abbot is an example of confirmation bias is what misses the point.

Wrong and shameful

Yes. London should secede from the rest of the UK.
