Brexit tribalism wars aside can't we all hold hands and come together in laughing at the kipper twats who will be outside parliament at this shit fest?
Brexit party on 31 January in London is going ahead. And it will be shit.

In the name of parity across regions, any British city or town or supermarket car park that would like to host this august gathering is absolutely welcome to take it out of London's hands. Really.

So you arent disagreeing that some of us Londoners are living in areas as equally deprived as other parts of England? BTW my Council Ward in London ( in top 20% most deprived wards in England / Wales) was 80% Remain.
Not all London Remainers are middle class Guardian readers.

I don't think if they came to Windush Square to celebrate they would get good reception. More likely be told to fuck off.

I cycle around central London all day so used to seeing the "Leave means Leave" Union Jack tossers around the Parliament Square in last few years.
Hopefully after this last victory party they won't come back to London.
My constituency in Southwark also voted 74% remain.It contains some of the richest and many of the poorest people in the country.

Breaking it down to ward level is interesting . My Ward has high proportion of social housing. It has high proportion of Black British working class . Descendants of the Windrush generation. Didnt surprise me it was Remain.
There was a swipe up thread about Stormzy. This is guy who has done alrght and hasnt forgotten his working class Black South Londoner roots. Decent guy imo.
My ward is Cathedrals (it'll go when the new boundary changes are effected).14% Asian,16% Black it also contains many high rise private housing which is only partially occupied and is a source of investment from rich Asians.It also has quite a lot of social housing.Some details here (PDF):

At time of referendum my Council ward in north Lambeth was in top 10% of most deprived wards in country. The gradual gentrification of inner London has altered it slightly.
London is a very divided city imo on class lines. But its a complicated picture. Needs to be looked at by neighborhood level to see the real picture.

Been thinking of what you are saying.
Its not sense of entitlement. Its that London ( due to Thatcher City deregulation among other things) made London world centre for finance. So the ordinary joe could get by servicing it.
In my home town Plymouth this is not the case. My brother still lives there. This left behind area depends on public sector as the driver of the economy. Secure jobs are in NHS ( my brothers wife) and social services ( my brother). So "austerity" cuts have bigger effect on areas outside London. Knock on effects of government cuts are bigger outside London.
My Brothers job was almost cut few years ago. That means knock on effect in local economy.
London is effected by austerity but does not depend so much on the economic public sector to sustain local economy if you see what I mean.
Public sector state funding plays a big role in local economies . Not a criticism but imo a fact. Its been derided by years of Thatcherism/ Neo liberalism.

I see there is some sort of immigration legal advice event on the 31st at City Hall for those affected by Brexit.

This is painfully wrong. I'd love for both the government and, particularly, the City to fuck the fuck off from London. 'London' might be poorer overall as a result, but many of the uber-rich fuckers whose presence makes life in London a huge struggle for other people living here would be gone, and the city would become much more livable as a result. All kinds of possibilities could open up. This kind of 'city nationalism-corporatism' totally misses that point.
But for the remoaner swivel eyed loons - a life of bitterness and resentment no doubt
