GDave, I think what COVIs is alluding to is that LIBLABCON's economic model is based on "unfettered" immigration no matter what. To them , it drives up GDP (not per capita) holds down wages and is what "big business" wants. So, essentially what we have are "Weasel Words" - we can "Take back Control of our Borders" - but it just means that instead of Rumanian fruit pickers / Lithuanian waitresses (horrific generalisation, I know) we instead have African, Asian etc ... Yes, our government can pick - but the net result is the same, however, we don't get to blame Brussels this time. (COVIs - if I've misconstrued what you meant to say, I'm sorry.)

What on earth could be the motivation behind this ? https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/bank-englands-carney-says-time-182420214.html

LOL. Very good. I was thinking more of True Colors, but I like your song choice - she (and the usual suspects) certainly seem to be having fun, (but at whose expense ?).

So her conversion to caring Eco-warrior didn't last long https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/may-tells-bankers-priority-brexit-amid-job-warnings-075855369--sector.html ... in the words of Cyndi Lauper

- this is what's keeping them up. http://www.mirror.co.uk/money/house-prices-brink-collapse--11817063 I'm pretty sure there are other things keeping them up that they've inadvertently overlooked !

Is this the one ? http://searcha.primelocation.com/cdgr/html...cfm?id=cdll0439 I understand these agents handled the sale and have let the place in the past. It seems to fit the bill in terms of sq footage and bedrooms etc. Although, it was previously let for 150k p.a, apparently. So, if it is the same, it implies a 30% hike! He's not shy!
