My Mummy says you hate foreigners.
As I said last week, the most frustrating thing about the Labour leadership is they don't even really seem to put in any effort. The Corbyn "relaunch" in January is a perfect example: he did one day of media interviews, got some bad press, and then he and his team all seemed to decide it wasn't worth even trying to make an effort since the media would always spin them badly, and Corbyn went back into hiding for weeks on end. The media are a bunch of right-wing bastards, true, but life is tough; you just get over it and make the best of a bad situation, not sit around feeling sorry for yourself and not even trying to make things better.
I wonder how the 18-24 year olds voted.
How have they collapsed so much among middle class Catholics ?
A note on Lucid Talk's final NI poll, carried out 24-26 Feb:
DUP 26.3% (result, 1st preferences: 28.1%)
SF 25.3% (27.9%)
UUP 13.9% (12.9%)
SDLP 12.2% (11.9%)
APNI 9.5% (9.1%)
Others 12.9% (10.2%)
Two or three points out on the two major parties, better on the next three.
The media love winners (and love cutting them down when they're not longer winners). Corbyn and.his cronies have never looked like winners.
You can see the Leave vote as part of that trend in it being a vote against EverCloserUnion.
And there will be no shortage of English Conservatives not displeased by EverLooserUnion with Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Some will even be hoping that Scouseland can go the same way.
Shocking that all this could have been avoided had Arlene had any self respect and resigned. Now she almost certainly will have to anyway but not before taking out her cause and her colleagues first.
Con gain Bootle actually happened this year (a place in Copeland constituency, natch).

Astonishingly, SDLP have just clung on to their second seat in South Down, ahead of Alliance. This was a stronghold till recently.

As for food, the little Englanders are no doubt working on self-picking crops but until then it would probably be wiser to secure supplies elsewhere.
In reality London's prosperity depends upon financial services and being the location of the British state.
An independent London would certainly lose the latter and most likely the former.
I suspect a bit of SF leading the government might not boost their support - they're not the SNP.
To coin a phrase Farage is a c*nt!
Can we have a petition to bring back the sensible, logical antifrank?
I must say that the less the country I live in is to the taste of someone who voluntarily spends leisure time in Orban's Hungary, the happier I am. It must be like Westworld, only set in 1930s Bavaria.
And I see you've neglected the issue of energy supplies - Bankside will be available again when Tate Modern is relocated to England. Still I doubt that will be enough so London will have to pay the new rate of only 10x currently. Law of supply and demand
But since Putin is the new pin-up of the little Englanders, perhaps it is to be expected that they would emulate his mistakes.
Or am I stereotyping Irish people the way some people do with Muslims?

I thought London was meant to be the heart of capitalism yet some Londoners so panicky about the law of supply and demand.
The inconvenient fact is that England can survive without London but London can't survive without England.
Still in 2018 we have the London local elections, can we expect the LNP to stand ?
We get it, people have been mean, maybe even unfair. That they cannot deal with that in ways other than whinging doesn't make their being unable to handle it less a sign of incompetence.
Crazy notion.

I rather suspect it is almost all FakeNews, perhaps to divert attention from the fact that the UK does have a legal claim on the EU's assets.
An Asda worker has been jailed for eight years after claiming he was joining radicals linked to Islamic State in order to escape the effects of Brexit.
White convert Ryan Ashley Counsell, 28, from Nottingham, claimed his interest in living "off the grid" in the Philippines had been prompted by watching the series Lives In The Wild by the TV presenter Ben Fogle.

"the legal advice, which has been backed up by independent experts"
Partly in the hope that CrossRail is going to make them substantially more desirable places to live, but Gidea Park is quite plush for that end of London, and I like the countryside around Harold Wood.
If anyone has any advice on this area then 'twould be gratefully received.

Wasn't that the comparison that Stuart Rose made with EU membership.
I'm not saying they are wrong, I have no way of knowing, but merely because lawyers say so isn't definitive, nor even because some experts agree, so unless the matter is truly tested (and surely more probably we'll meet somewhere in the middle) it's no more settled.
