Very likely....there were a couple of 'squad cars' parked up with the film trucks by the academy.

sorry I don't follow your argument.
You are saying editor feeds trolls but should ban them.
The Ed can't win over this.
What is a troll on Brixton forum?
I agree Ed should ban troll like Spam. If he did he would get it from some posters here for closing down debate.
On politics forum its still self policing.When some posters here post up on politics boards they don't get away with it.

This is simplistic view.
The ongoing changes to London can't just be seen as inevitable changes. Changes in economic and social structure of London due to underlying changes to capitalist society plus political decisions taken at national and local government level.
Also I don't see myself as old fashioned.
Take my involvement with LJ adventure playground and Brixton Rec. I hear people younger than me complaining about gentrification.
Brixton forum is not necessarily representative of what's happening in local area.
Far from being old fashioned I'm mainstream. Posting here can give distorted view of what's happening on the ground.

It's lurched to the right with depressing speed. Happily, there's still plenty of people I know around Brixton who are more interested in supporting the community than grazing in foodie joints and applauding the scraps that are thrown from the table of mega-rich incoming businesses. But this is what gentrification does: it splits the community and favours the well off.

I was helping out at stall by the Rec for the upcoming meeting. Several people I had chats with felt they were gradually being pushed out of Brixton. The Rec was becoming more expensive.
I get same same issues when talking to parents who use the Grove adventure playground.
I agree gentrification splits communities.
I had a lot of chats at stall. There is whole swathe of people who feel they aren't listened to because they are the wrong demographic and are being priced out. Its causing a lot of low-level resentment.

This was a first - I was at the Market House on Sat playing to a packed crowd and I couldn't work out why one CD had stopped working - I checked the mixer channels and all seemed OK and luckily I had a laptop as a backup.
And then I realised that some wag had physically unplugged the phone leads.

On Friday, some drunk bloke at the Effra Social begged me to let him stand behind the DJ decks for a bit to impress some girl he was after. I gave him a few minutes of pretending to do something and then he left the stage, took a wrong turn and walked out of the fire exit into the back garden

I had one of them on a boat party the other week....he wanted a picture stood behind the decks for some reason or other...

The worst ones are the drunk folks who video you as you're DJing. If they're looking for me to do something interesting/clever in a groovy DJ fashion, they've got a long wait ahead.

Solidarity against neoliberalism!
Simple yes. It was a short post, not a thesis.
I agree about the ongoing changes to London as a whole (its not just Brixton) and am personally resisting them best I can. Eggs and grandma.
Being from the pre internet, pre phone olden days, leftie, anti thatcherite - yes I think I am old fashioned, and proud of it.
How did he get on with the girl?On Friday, some drunk bloke at the Effra Social begged me to let him stand behind the DJ decks for a bit to impress some girl he was after. I gave him a few minutes of pretending to do something and then he left the stage, took a wrong turn and walked out of the fire exit into the back garden

I can't imagine she was impressed. In fact, after he'd been retrieved from the garden by security, he reappeared by the side of the stage 20 mins later begging to be let back on behind the decks. This time it was a 'no' from me.
