Guilty as charged. Perhaps I should have chosen my words more carefully

When I lived in Bromley the locals would have lynched you if you said that you were living in the largest London Borough. In those days Bromley was Kent and would ever remain so.

I trained in Greenwich in the 70's and some still insisted that Plumstead was Kent - the fire station kept its 'Kent County Fire Brigade' sign for quite a while.

You do know the origin of 'well healed' do you not?

I do - I suggest you inform Trevgo of the fact too.

He does not seem to get the irony of his statement below:-

so long as they articulate their point intelligently and coherently. That is a very rare occurrence from Leavers.

Debating whether the well healed residents of RoT .........

As a leave voter, I have no idea how my mental capacity noticed that.

Nonsense of course - just like the LDs current position on this issue.”

The only nonsense there is your post.

An advisory referendum is advisory and results in advice which Parliament is free to follow or ignore as it so chooses.

An election is binding and results in the selection of a candidate (or candidates depending on the voting system).

I believe that actually happened.
A minder hurrying into (camera) shot to end an interview early......to stop Nigel taking any more punishment.
And....it was not when Farage was a Political Novice......it was not that long ago.

I wonder if anyone has a link to the clip?

Oh deary deary me...poor little Zaccy...that little ego trip didn't work out too well after all it seems.

Still at least it's one son of a dodgy millionaire and member of the ......(insert your favoured adjective here)........"elite" the Brexiters will be feeling sorry for.

You must be having your intelligence raised by interacting with Remain voters

Oh don't go using things like facts - they're so troublesome.

Not if I have to point out the origin of our own language to them to them surely?

First question - when are you going to stand down and force a second by election as people perhaps didn't know what they were voting for yesterday.

Secondly you won by about the same 4.5 per cent leave won by and you got less than 50 per cent. Shouldn't we rerun the by election so that we can be really clear that was what people really wanted.

And it gets better!

Her media handler then cuts short the interview 3 minutes in and says she has go.”

Thanks, so very funny.

Zac Goldsmith has been outmanoeuvred and humiliated by a Political Novice.

Isn't that a good thing? I though we were all sick of on-message professional politicians.

She seems to have a perfectly normal background by politician standards: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Olney

Absolutely. She will soon get used to the job and at the end she will still be the same person as before.

Unfortunately.....so will Julia Hartley-Brewer.

But too good for Zac?

If he tries for another seat we will need an opponent he can defeat.
What about Orville the Duck?

Still good enough to defeat the billionaire Brexiter

I can't listen to it atm but if that is the kind of predictably snide questioning offered, it's probably just as well I can't.
Was the interviewer that jeering heifer Julia Hartley-Brewer?

She will fit in just nicely as she is.... remember, the Lib dumbs are hardly what you would call an astute party.

If Zac's now an independent, he can take on Boris
