Unbearably depressing. Give it 50 years and there will be no real Londoners left living in London

Define "real londoner".

Anyone born in London?

Yes I was born in Lambeth.

Only people born in other countries and moved here are real Londoners. OG Londoner.

What nonsense. Of all the actually important issues around housing policy, inequality, etc, why waste column inches on that.

Steve Moore is a bully etc.

I first saw this on-line and picked up the Guardian paper copy today. To my surprise, it was the leading story on the front page. I can only assume that they consider it emblematic of a return to upstairs/downstairs, masters/servants separate entrances. You're obviously right that it's only a small story compared to the very big problems we have, but I found it interesting enough, having commented on a lot of planning applications.

Mixed tenure, it's been happening for years...

Everybody involved is now screwed.

Still the bar tab at Somerset House for those two years must have been astronomical.

Shocker ^

That shock must have been quite severe, it took you three weeks to recover.

Were you really not already even slightly aware of it?

Good article by Seumas Milne

I don't know how accurate all of this is but I can confirm that at least three of these are true as I watched them.

Maybe MP's should be on a zero hours contract, and be paid per hour they turn up?
