You are so awful. I don’t live in the ‘posh centre’ at all but it’s lovely and not what you describe at all. You do not live here, you have no idea, you are just a racist hyperbolic, demented old fart. Fuck off. https://t.co/WudlVdTlYg

When I moved to London to go to uni in the 1980s, people couldn’t wait to get out. Population had fallen to 6.8m. Everything was closing. Now people flock to the greatest city on earth – pop 9m. The city is transformed. Nobody forces you to live here. If you don’t like it..bye! https://t.co/h0t0oPysAP

I live in London, yes in a nice area unsurprisingly, but I’ve worked all over the city & travel by tube. Where there are humans there can be dangers, as with water, but those who seek to win votes by fuelling fear are charlatans. Read the data, ignore the fear mongers.

Reality check London isn’t “dying”.
It’s changing. And here’s the bit you can’t cope with: it’s never, ever going back.

I’ve lived in London – north and south – for the past 40 years or so. You’re a mendacious mountebank

What happened to the London I used to know?
Had my skull and spine removed and steam cleaned by this foreign bloke on the Tube yesterday. pic.twitter.com/XJKFqwETrc

London has it problems like all world cities do. But if Rupert Lowe stays away on his vast Wiltshire estate a few hundred miles distant, that's one less London undesirable troublemaker. Now if we could only throw the bastard out of the UK…. we all be soooo much better

Perhaps he’s on the right track, but not to where he thinks he’s going.
Rupert Lowe is right to point out that large parts of London are no-go areas. For anyone earning less than £150,000 a year, that is.
