You really are a horrible little (in every sense which matters, I have no doubt) racist. From the man who wants lots of "white", and only white, immigration to the UK. And, FWIW Mr. Dizaei is Persian, not Pakistani like Mr. Khan. What? The only restriction on UK immigration I'd place is that you should never be allowed back under any circumstances. |

London's Garden Bridge project officially abandoned http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-40921373 A £200m plan to build a bridge covered with trees across the River Thames in central London has officially been abandoned. An excellent decision and long overdue. The only good bit of news in a never ending cycle of gloom and dispair. The whole thing is a scandal if you've followed the so called procurement and financial approval process within TfL. We don't need another Heatherwick disaster inflicted on this city nor yet more privatised space which has a direct, never ending and uncapped draw on public funds. Now we need to pursue the Trust, its supporters and the former Mayor for the return of £40m. It's a scandalous waste of money that could have been used for a vast range of superior purposes. -- Paul Corfield via Google |
