    Because it's very tedious watching you rehash exactly the same argument over and over again.

    It's not forbidden it's just boring. Change the bloody record.

    I guess you prefer the usual TV/newspapers etc discussion about London housing :

    problem is prices are too high

    solution is HTB or equivalent and build cheap houses
    never ever discuss demand caused by population increase.

    too boring really.

    Brilliant start CLAPTON, you've managed a post that isn't about immigration for an entire sentence. TBH you do drift back onto immigration (yawnsville) again which is a shame because you started soooo well sweetie.

    I think with help from us all you can do this. There is a whole world out there which isn't about emigration to the UK.

    Maybe there should be a Clapton Complains About Immigrants thread that can be stickied so that he / she always knows where to go.

    if you were a little brighter you might understand the difference between 'complaint' and 'consequences': but thinking about it, probably not.

    Clapton Complains About the Consequences of Immigrants. Endlessly.

    Yes, you're right. That does have a certain ring to it. Better get cracking.

    I would have gone with Clapton Complains Concerning The Consequences of Incomers Continually. Just for full alliterative effect.

    Corbyn is finished and rightly so in my opinion - it's clear he wasn't able to put his own personal views (wanting to leave EU) behind the views of the party (wanting to remain) and as a result was about as effective as a wet paper bag when trying to gather support from Labour voters.

    In this his first real test of support on the ground and leadership he has failed completely and needs to go.

    He delivered 69% support for Remain among Labour voters, whereas the Tories managed 47% in their own supporters.

    Yes thats right, the Tory Party called a referendum and managed to lose to itself. But this is somehow the fault of Jeremy Corbyn, because the Blairites and Murdoch press that doesn't want the UK electorate to have a left wing party to vote for, says so.

    He is going to be on the ballot paper again and he is going to get voted in again. Hopefully the Blairites will finally get the message and either defect to the Tories, a party it appears they would be much happier representing, or swallow it and stop undermining the membership.

    I take no pleasure in saying this but Corbyn is not a leader - I like a lot of the things he says and I think he is a decent man who I desperately hoped would do well but he was absolutely hopeless during the BREXIT debate. He is finished I'm afraid.
