bought london has experienced a huge amount of what's called white flight. lower income white people mainly in the suburbs leaving london because they think it's changed too fast for them and that does include. the changing ethnic composition of the places they live and i don't think you can say london is a successful city if you know between twenty two in two thousand and one and two thousand and eleven six hundred twenty thousand what british people left the capital that's one of the reasons why london is now a majority minority city quite unexpectedly and only academics picked this up because they weren't watching the outflow it's easy enough to track the inflow. but they don't live in places like barking and dagenham and redbridge where. this was happening. and i think we do need to worry about you know if we do we want to we want to islands. society well i think you know on integration most people have. a kind of conflicting intuitions and on the one hand we think that people on the whole want to live at least much of the time amongst people who are rou

i think that's a possibility i think given julian assange his experience in london. of that russian embassy of ecuador might be more appropriate obviously the ecuadorian government has been thinking through just these issues in the case of julian assange. so it won't be starting with a fresh slate if you will if snowden were to holed up in one of their embassies but i would suggest that an embassy somewhere in russia ecuador or another country would certainly be a better bet than the situation in london where the ecuadorian embassy in which julian the sars finds himself is surrounded twenty four hours a day and there is obviously pressure from the british government on the effort dorrian government and i would imagine by the american government say yes that would seem like a fairly good option but i do think i mean what our conversation is suggesting is that snowden does have a number of options before him and i see this is very positive i think that there is a strong possibility that he could find himself a safe haven way he could continue to release the sort of inf

out of a london office and it cost j.p. morgan six billion dollars and counting now they didn't require any sort of bailout this time but who's to say that the next time the same thing wouldn't be true and so this is essentially a way to say let's not have to follow the rules let's do all of our trades in europe let's do have all our trades overseas but if we need money and we need a bailout we're still going to get the backing of the u.s. government right right ok great everyone's on board with that cool right and of course the u.s. taxpayer doesn't like that but wall street is trying to make this sound so complicated that everyone just lets it go through and that you know nobody really puts a spotlight on it so it's an important story to cover so much for weighing in on this this is a lexus goldstein and she's a contributor to the nation thank you for. stay tuned because we talk of fed up monetary policy ahead of tomorrow's big meeting with dana cheese and to taper or not to taper that's the only question then that prime
