We've sold our soul in desperate dash for foreigners' cash, writes RICHARD LITTLEJOHN
Over the past few years, London has become the Number One destination for wealthy foreigners seeking a safe haven from less agreeable regimes and regional instability.The knock-on effect is that property prices overall have gone into the stratosphere, with shockwaves being felt in the suburbs and beyond. Bin Abdullah is shown on Instagram in one of his vehicles and with friends on a private jet as he head between the Middle East and Europe
So imagine how Londoners, priced out of the housing market and forced either to use expensive, overcrowded public transport or pay extortionate congestion charges to drive to work, feel when they see casually abandoned gold Lamborghinis — bearing licence plates in Arabic and festooned with contemptuously ignored parking tickets. Why haven’t they been clamped and towed away?
Our capital city is the go-to venue for rich-as-Croesus foreigners intent on obscene and ostentatious displays of conspicuous consumption.

Never mind, eddie. Apparently that's the best course of action.

You're getting ridiculous now Ben. I never said no to what you proposed.
And after the jam jar thing....enough said really.

It's funny how you can totally misinterpret a simple suggestion. Amazing, actually.

That would be really mature, why don't you go for it! We'll let the whole board be the judge.

Relationships and jam jars are a bad combination.
Seriously...if this IS a windup it's funny .....if it isn't it's sad.

Ben and I will never speak of the jam jar again.
It's a secret that can never really be revealed.
Or explained....really....

Storm, whilst I agree on some of the issues of overcrowding in the UK, and always see why and how people are concerned, I simply cannot understand you.
Do you just dislike anyone who's non-English or non-British? Or do you like anyone as long as they speak English?
