It's not all bad news! The more that Sadiq Khan increases driving costs in London, the fewer poor people in cars and the easier it is for rich people like me to get around.

This is what we call the betrayal of the left. They betrayed poor people (like you in the past) for rich people (like you now).

Paul, shouldn't you rather be concerning yourself with the menu options and drinking arrangements for the ship that will take all the tax refugees away from the UK and away from all of the people there with so little experience of real life?

And then are you sure the maid and laundry services are up to snuff?

I suspect that your knowledge of maids and laundry services in the UK comes from Downtown Abbey! Sadly it's not like that any longer!

That's ok, because the Conservatives took over that role. But a) the message has never fully got through (it's not Downton Abbey now, or even the 1960s) and b) they've rather dropped the ball lately!

Rich people are usually not very interesting, too uniform, too cautious. Actually I usually travel around London on buses, where you meet (and chat to, probably more than I should) some fascinating ordinary folk. Yes, there's a high probability of getting stabbed but that's better than being bored to death. 

Farrow & Ball, makers of top-notch paints with names such as Mole's Breath, Bamboozle, and Dead Salmon, beloved by leftie lovies, are introducing a new colour this fall, called Voters' Remorse. It's the colour of liquidized sick but will be very popular in Notting Hill, I suspect.

How do they get the little flecks of carrot in there, or does each tub come with a packet of carrot flecks that you add before painting?

Do you get an OAP card? We don't have that in the Netherlands.

I like bus #14 in London but my favourite buses are in Coventry.
Chatting != chatting up.

No, I'm too young still. 

And no one stands up to give me their seat. You're lucky, Cuch, looking so old.

Your time will come. I'm fitter than most 50 year olds. 80 is the new 60.
What's the pension age, 47? like France?

Some have voters, others backers.

One of the reasons I stopped flying into Gatwick, all those able bodies on the Gatwick Express refusing (staring at their copies of the FT much harder) to get out of the seats for disabled. Sadly the train was too packed for me to wave my walking stick around and my blue badge was in the car at Belfast. 

You are absolutely right. It's uncanny, he has the same eyes as our Keir. Eyes that say, "I feel your pain, I understand what you poor people are going through. But you old ones who didn't vote for me, you can get stuffed, I'm taking away your winter allowance and giving it to the unions who did vote for me." 

That's what political parties are for: to cater for the interests of their voters. The Tories did the same when they cut taxes.

Sigh.

Liquidized sick, old boy, liquidized.

Anyone  know these (btw not Charles Dickens)
