Re: Thanks Boris you git

Great post @phigoldenspiral, you've nailed more or less all the important issues there. Bookymummy, you make some fair points, not least that privileged SW London dwellers will struggle to put ourselves in the shoes of the disenfranchised in the north of the country, and we should certainly not be c...
