Nope it's not like London.

And when the tube/train fecks up or you collapse you end up talking to jammed up against but studiously ignoring anyone from any walk of life. ..

FTFY

2 people with the same attitude as DA?

I thought they broke the mould when DA was made.

Coincidence

Shush.

He makes a very good point. The problem with the left is they have never made a compelling case for redistribution of wealth.

I think you need some history lessons.

Anyway Corbyn et al live in the past which is no surprise due to their ages.

Good old Carney, a real man of the people

He's certainly not as in touch with the ordinary working man as say Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson or Donald Trump.

Good old Carney, a real man of the people

Bank of England governor Mark Carney earned £879,773 last year, the Bank of England reported today.

That figure is half again as much as the £586,010 he earned in 2013/14; however, it also represents the first time he has taken his full pay after he took on the role in July 2013.

in 2013 Carney's salary - which includes a £5,000-a-week housing allowance - was heavily criticised by Commons Treasury Committee chief Andrew Tyrie.

"Your current pay in sterling terms is around total remuneration of a third of a million pounds and your total remuneration is going to be in excess of £800,000," he said.

"That's a rather large rise bearing in mind that there is a pay freeze on at the bank.

Sounds wonderful.

Last time I was on the tube I had to let three pass because I couldn't get on, then had to ram myself onto the fourth one (or else I wasn't going anywhere). I was literally standing with my face in someone else's armpit. The B/O was off the chart. I was keeping it together, and then the tube broke down and I was stuck there for 20min.

It does seem a bit dangerous to allow such Sardining.

You either:
1. Deal with it.
2. Use another station or travel earlier/later to avoid it
3. Use a bus or bike

Oh and that's one of the reasons Londoners don't talk on public transport.

Carnage talks about poor people

Nope it's not like London.

Most people in London use public transport as if you try and drive to central London you will get stuck in traffic. This means you have to mix with all sorts of people including the cleaners who take the papers of the tube/train. And when the tube/train fecks up or you collapse you end up talking to anyone from any walk of life.

Also London and the bigger cities have more immigrants from both the EU and around the world. So part of the reason we voted remain is that we don't see them all as an "other" to be feared even if some groups are annoying.

That sounds like London to me.

Remember he's not part of British society, he's rich and he's in a job where he get chauffeured around so he never has to mix with normal British folk.

My reaction to his comments, "no tulip Sherlock".

That he is only saying this now shows how breathtakingly out of touch he is.

Well he is a rich Canadian.

People are getting fed up with increasing inequality.
