    I used to have a regular lunch with a friend and, come the day, each of us would wait until the last possible moment to cancel because we both knew we would both be cancelling.
    Wasn't that a regular not-lunch?

    I am kind of resigned to this now. I feel future Tory leaders will elect to make sure we creep away from the E.U and it's institutions anyways.

    London’s crime problem just went global.

    Australian TV news crew had their £15k camera stolen in the street, while reporting from London on the Grenfell enquiry.

    Just had a phone call from the telegraph offering a subscription at a £1 a week for a year

    A couple of things before you accept :

    1. Remember, you will be liable for tax on the £52, so if you are a higher rate tax payer, then its more like £30 net to you
    2. The small print probably mandates that you actually read the paper. I'd want to understand what checks they do, and how much time you are expected to source reading it.

    I wouldn't base your claims just on PB, it's not the real world.

    I don't see a Leave/Remain split in that link, is there one? I'd be curious to see how Leavers/Remainers compare on the breakdown for eg skilled migration etc

    Did you see the lot that nicked the TV cameras off the bridge before the boat race?

    Yes, with some platitudes about only Jeremy's Labour providing leadership on the crucial environmental issues that face the planet.

    Topping's link is an IPSOS MORI one, yours was YouGov. I'm assuming they're different polls with different questions.

    Don't be ridiculous.

    The headline is fairly self-explanatory: most people want less immigration. What treasures have you unearthed in the article itself?

    As HYUFD continuously points out, Leavers voted Leave because of immigration. Apart from one R. Tyndall that is.

    Yet both make sweeping generalisations about their fellow travellers.
    I made no sweeping generalisations. I simply said that Anothernick was wrong when he claimed to know why 17 million people voted Leave. It is you who are making the sweeping statements by claiming to know why people voted a particular way.

    Oh and a number of Leave voters on here have made clear that they did not vote Leave because of immigration. RCS being one of them.

    So pack up with your false claims get again. They do get tedious.

    But look on the bright side - the Leavers would be forever damned by history - they would be vilified even more than the appeasers of the 1930s.
    Yebbut aren't the REMAINERs all to willing to appease the EU's centralising drives?

    And yet it is why London is the only world class city in Europe.
    But how much does that benefit Londoners or the rest of the country ?

    Certainly there are advantages but there are many who are disadvantaged as well - anyone under 30 who would like to buy a house in London for example.

    Personally I'm quite happy that Londoners are prepared to work harder and pay more taxes and have a lower standard of living so that I can benefit :wink:
