I swear it's always fucking London, for foreigners to understand London is to the rest of the UK what Los Angeles is to the rest of America. Even left wing people outside of London look at this fucking place in absolute horror. It's one of the few bi-partisan agreements we have in the country that the place is a universally recognised shithole. Interestingly we haven't seen a drug crisis pop up there yet but it's only a matter of time.
I’m imagining his argument is that LA is more “liberal” than NYC, which is arguable I guess…
But nah, you’re right, it is much more like NYC, in every possible way, “old money” cosmopolitan liberalism included…
Same with Sydney. People always compare it to LA, and Melbourne to NYC, but that’s really not true.
Large, financial, extremely cosmopolitan port cities which are also the largest in their respective countries - they all tend to have the same “issues”, as well as arguably perks… 🤷🏻♂️
But Melbourne likes to think it is NYC, because of course it does…
I mean either one works, there's a lot of famous people that live there too, but of course, they make sure they're in the high priced white enclaves no one else can afford.
Oh yeah, I mean I'm not 100% familiar with London as I try to avoid it as best as possible but yes Kensington and Chelsea are pretty renowned for being posh as fuck, Kensington would probably be the most posh. In general though London is a massively overpriced shithole where even the poor areas are just retarded.
They put up black bollards everywhere these days as well you may notice if you ever go to places like parliament square and that's to prevent trucks of peace from spreading their message and depending on where you go the places are controlled like a fortress. Ended up at one of the back end entrances of Buckingham Palace while having an explore and they've got armed police there with submachine guns lol.

Wouldn't London be more like NY, a cosmopolitan nightmare that is a center of finance capital?

North London, innit?
Or like, West London. The posh bits, basically…
What’s the most “establishment” bit? Probably Kensington and Chelsea, right..?
