How strange you completely missed this post from nearly an hour ago!
And maybe you should check the title of this thread. It's called, "Brixton food & drink news: new restaurants, bars, pop ups, cafes and more."
i think Jay Raynor might come under "more"?

Claire a big fan of the Pope Emeritus -
• "I have no language with which to adequately describe Joseph Alois Ratzinger, AKA the Pope. In all my years as a campaigner I have never felt such animus against any individual as I do against this creature. His views are so disgusting, so repellent and so hugely damaging to the rest of us, that the only thing to do is to get rid of him."
On the other hand I seem to recall she was quite sound on gay rights.

It’s ok to talk about him as long as you’re being rude about him

Awesome postJay (Jason Matthew) Rayner - 14th September 1966
Went to the same school as Matt Lucas and Sacha Baron Cohen - Haberdasher Aske's
Then Leeds University did politics, Edited the Gryphon Student Newspaper
Doing a bit of ferretting it appears he bought his house on Shakespeare Road April 1998 so will just be getting towards the end of his mortgage. Looking at Rightmove sold prices nye on doubled over 10 years, no reason to think they would have doubled again in the subsequent 10 to 12 years. So to put a capital value on the roof over his family say as much as £1.3 mil. From the google view it looks like they have spent money on it, roof lights evident sugessting a reconfiguration, so may be remortgaged. His Limited company shows little liquidity circa £50,000.
Nothing to indicate Claire and Desmond left fortunes to him or his older brother and sister.
Married in 1992 Jay's wife works as an editor specialising in education currently senior at UCL Press, probably well paid, she sometimes sings when Jay plays with his Jazz quartet, she doesn't have any other current Company House presence apart from as a director of his self named company.
If that projection of £1.9 mil is based on anything it's possible they may have holiday property somewhere, but I can't see any trace...
It looks like they are a hardworking middle class couple with a son Eddie, according to a piece in Esquire they jointly wrote, they went through difficult fertility treatment to conceive.
They are mid fifties and have earned through their lives. Not particularly loaded but not uncomfortable, and it doesn't look like they are in a position to sit back and do nothing.
But this is just based on shit from the internet...

And it was discussed in depth at the time in this thread, along with the starting price of £108 price tag per head. What was the review before that? Was it for a remotely affordable restaurant or more of his usual hoity toity places?Two months ago

It's great that he had the time to send off a letter - and let everyone know about it - but his efforts were nothing compared to the efforts of the hard working activists who did all the ground work in the months before and after, and are still actively fighting Hondo and their tower. And he certainly was not single handedly responsible for saving Nour, which you seem to be suggesting.
I don't think I've hard anything since from Rayner concerning Hondo, even though the fight is nowhere near over. Perhaps you might know seeing as you're such a fan?

And just to be clear: I don't dislike the man as I don't know him, and I have very little interest in his privileged world, but this lauding of him as some sort of hero for reviewing a kabab shop, or for his minimal efforts in getting involved in one campaign in Brixton is a bit too much. And I really do think all this fanboy stuff should go into a separate thread because it has very little to do with Brixton.
Either way I'm not wasting any more time discussing him because he's really not that interesting.

Jesus Christ, what a load of old bollocks
I haven’t suggested he was single handedly the man who saved Nour even remotely, he did his bit, he could’ve kept schtum...the twitter thread was clipped from here...How We Won: The Customers Who Saved Their Local Market | Novara Media
....as for being a fan I think you're just talking out of your bottom cos you like a row
e2a .... to provide context here is one person who saw JRs tweets and was spurred on to get more more involved with the Nour campaign, they mention Brixton Buzz too.....funny old world innit !
Inside the Battle to Save Nour
You could see Taylor McWilliams dancing in a kimono and suddenly clocking that things hadn‘t quite gone as planned.

yes, he just didn't bother paying his rent after lock-down finished, he's doing well enough in Herne Hill

Thanks for the update. I visited the Herne Hill restaurant to see a friend's band play. It was busy but seeing as they insisted I could only order from a roving waiter who was otherwise engaged, I gave up and left.

You asked when his last Brixton review was I answered, why would a food critic get involved in a town centre development issue?

If you ever showed the slightest amount of humility in these numerous occasions you're digging ever deeper you'd be infinitely better liked and perhaps wouldn't have ruined this thread so comprehensively over so many years

....credit where credits due, if urban 75 didn’t exist there wouldn’t be a thread to ruin.

Go read the "Facebook is evil" thread and then apply that logic

It would be appreciated if you could contribute something that's relevant to the topic of 'Brixton food and drink news,' and quit the personal shit and tedious cross thread beef. Thanks awfully.
Ditto.

Back to Cafe Cairo - I meant to add that I wrote to them via their email and FB months ago and never got an answer and have just emailed them again. I hope they come back. Along with the 414 they're one of the very places left with an old school vibe in and around Brixton.
