LONDON (AP) — When Britain de-
cides on Thursday whether to leave the
European Union, London’s voice may
prove decisive. But for which side?
Britain’s capital, home to almost 9
million people, encompasses some of
the most pro-EU places in the country
— and the least.
In the cosmopolitan City inancial
district, where almost half a million
people from around the globe work in
Europe’s biggest inancial center, pro-
EU sentiment predominates. But just a
few miles away the borough of Haver-
ing, stronghold of working-class East
Enders, topped a national survey of the
most anti-EU places in Britain.
The two districts represent the op-
posing views at the heart of Britain’s
EU debate. One sees the bloc’s free low
of people and money as a beneit. The
other sees it as a threat.
Fishmonger David Crosbie, working
on a drizzly morning in Havering’s out-
door Romford Market, is an emphat-
ic “leave” supporter. For Crosbie, the
decision has a lot to do with borders,
on land and sea. He says he is tired of
European ishermen trawling waters
around Britain under the EU’s Com-
mon Fisheries Policy.

Dump Trump Movement
Preparing to Fight
WASHINGTON (AP) — The “dump
Trump” movement is gaining follow-
ers among delegates to next month’s
Republican National Convention, an ef-
fort that could tarnish Donald Trump’s
coronation even if it ultimately fails.
Several hundred Republican dele-
gates are organizing to oppose Trump
at the convention. That’s not enough
delegates to topple Trump. But it’s
more than enough to create turmoil at
an event that is typically used to bring
a political party together in support of
a presidential candidate.
“If Trump is the nominee, we truly
believe it’s the end of our party,” said
Kendal Unruh, a Colorado delegate who
is leading the efort to dump Trump.
“We’re trying to save the party.”
There could be loor ights over con-
vention rules and the party’s platform.
And instead of a coronation, the roll
call to nominate Trump could be an op-
portunity for delegates to voice their
displeasure on national television.
