You have my sympathy, Lox, and yes, treatment can be very different in different areas. I am very glad that you have had a good experience of life in London.

But, your comments about Boris Johnson are a bit of a stretch wouldn't you say?

You put words into his mouth and predict his actions based on what?

A vitriolic hatred of anything to do with conservatives, regardless of the fact that you know precisely nothing of his intentions?

You have been paying too much attention to certain rabid Tory haters who have forgotten the Wilson/Callaghan days when Labour took us to the brink of disaster with an inflation rate that reached 21%, before the 1979 election, and that was AFTER they devalued the pound.

There are both honest men, and charlatans on both sides of the divide, and it would be smarter not to slander a man until you have more to hang an accusation on, than the name of the party he belongs to.

I make no secret of the fact that I am a Tory supporter, yet the politician I most admire is Robert Marshall-Andrews, a true labour man, and a thorn in the side of the Blair/Brown empire. Would that there were others on this forum, prepared to recognise quality, no matter the colour of its politics.
