Brixton graffiti

‘London’s Most Dangerous Gang – Met Police’ – Brixton graffiti, June 2019

Its good to see some political graffiti. Making a good point. Not just tagging.
I don't know how they managed to do it.

Isn't this just a gang marking its territory then? I had assumed it was sort of tagging/bragging.
what's political about this? what is their point?

It says this:

‘London’s Most Dangerous Gang – Met Police – The System Goons – ACAB!!!’

Clear enough I think.

 

[friendofdorothy]

think I just got what you mean. Wasn't imediately obvious to me

 

[David Clapson]

Senior police officers used to be fond of saying that they are London's biggest gang.

I saw one of Trump's helicopters flying over the barrier block a few mins ago. Heading south.

Awful lot of people breaking the Ritzy boycott tonight. Anyone know what the massive queue was for?

 

[BusLanes]

Lots seem to be holding A4 sheets

Maybe they're holding instructions on "How to break a boycott and not care."

A lot of people are unaware of the dispute and the boycott.

I'm sure they're not - although it's not that hard to find out - but it still breaks my heart.

Quite. It's not in the public consciousness. The people attending aren't to blame for that. To suggest otherwise is a waste of time. Otherwise you'd never order anything off Amazon or Sports Direct.

There is a drunken fool walking north down Brixton Rd can in hand,
jumping out into bus lane traffic, blocking/screaming at female cyclists
Tried to have a word but I was on the wrong side of the road....

I don't see what the pros and cons of Ritzy campaign have to do with Amazon or Sports Direct.

BTW just to let you know I've never used Amazon and I avoid Sports Direct.

Here's how the incoming luxury of The Edge looks. First three floors will have splendid balcony views of a, err, brick viaduct.

Thanks for this, I was confused by discobastard 's post as well, wasn't sure if they was having a pop at me for buying a rain jacket from Millets.

Some archive footage. I recognise some of the faces in there!




On a related note, I just got a YouTube video taken down after some wanker had liften the entire Brixton 'before and after' photographs from urban75, presented it as his own work, and finished it off by crediting a ton of people - but not me.

The heartbreaking sight of the closed Club 414 in Brixton.
