Independence for London - thickos need not apply

[CretinWatcher]

London - nowhere quite like it. Given its long history of doing rather well I have every confidence it'll be fine this time round too.

Hmmm I remember at least 2 decades, 70s and 80s, when it was rather a backwater dump.

they obviously measured when AssCretin was at home. If it weren't then we would lag behind the Italians.

You don't need a degree to use your native tongue properly. Some level of intelligence will suffice.
Oh wait ...

[Mordac]

Now, now, we all have to do our bit for care in the community, and AssCretin has been allocated to CUK for his therapy.

Broadmoor is full then? Bugger.

Surely it should be "London is the most educated city in Europe"?

Obvious even to an American.

The answer - by a considerable distance - is London. In parts of London, more than two in three adults of working age, have a degree or higher education equivalent.

Presumably all working in Starbucks, McDonalds, etc. and mainly immigrants if the comments made by many people are to be believed Would be interesting to actually see a drill down of this report

Not bad for a city that's been about for two thousand years. Oh and the mid to late 80s were quite an exciting time so I'll give you only 15 there.

Yeah I'll give you that. And the early 90s weren't that great either, the big recession everyone seems to forget nowadays since millenials are so special.
My abiding memory of London in the 70s is shabbiness and rubbish everywhere.
The change, at least in central London, has been spectacular.

Ah but if you were to believe half the posters on here...
