Boris J is arguing that London should keep most / all of its tax revenues rather than redistributing to the regions. Apparently, ministers might be sympathetic. Last year it was only worth 5 billion quid. Pre-recession 20 billion though. |

as long as London picks up the entire tab for the bank bailout and makes up any shortfall on the sale of nationalised bank assets then thats fine. otherwise no dice. |

I am afraid 'twas the Northern banks that let the side down - as mentioned RBS and HBOS but also Northern Rock and Bradford & Bingley. |

I think you will find the investment banking divisions of RBOS and HBOS are based well and truly in the City. So Boris and London can pick up the tab for that. And although a subsidiary of RBOS, Nat West head office is Bishopsgate. Lloyds is London based as well. He can bail 'em all out for me! |

Well, when the South East demands our water to ease their drought, they can fook off. |

If Boris wants to isolate London and the whole of the South East from the rest of the country then I don't think that he'll hear any wails of anguish coming from the rest of the country. He'll need a passport to get into Yorkshire though and we reserve the right to leave him standing on the Derbyshire border while we thoroughly check his credentials to share our facilities. |
