I used to be a regular in the cafe but I've not spent a penny in there since the boycott was called. If they'd had more support from the community, they probably would have had this thing settled a long time ago.
You appear to have missed out the main point: breaking a well publicised boycott. Strange, that.
Well, it almost seems a question of time tbh. First you object to the very presence of a couple of women with posh accents at the Country Show, and now to newlyweds taking pictures of themselves on the streets of Brixton because they might be from Chelsea and the wrong social class. A bit more than a tad unfair and intolerant IMO.Why not post up a really stupid straw man?
Never mentioned women in posh accents at the country show at all. My actual complaint was hearing new visitors saying how they were going to totally win the competition next year. I preferred the competition when it was more amateurish and inclusive. The courgette penguin seems more in the spirit of the show than this year's blockbuster clever-clever Karl Marx. But that's just my opinion.
It has EVERYTHING to do with the Ritzy boycott. As I have said repeatedly. That article sends out a message that it's cool to break the boycott and stick your name up there.
I think you are making all sorts of assumptions here. maybe they are priveledged / self promoting - I don't know them and I imagine neither do you - but I didnt read it that way all.
seems everyone is self promoting now - isn't that what all young people do? now its all twitter this and web that - I really don't know why people want to share so much on line. I don't understand it all, and it may not be to my taste - but what is so particularly objectionable about it?
I agree with all that and it's a crying shame that the Ritzy has been taken away from us, and that so few people appear to care about the staff's struggle.
Neither am I. But is sniping about trivial things like this the way change things?
lets ask the Ritzy staff about that. And I wonder what the Brixton Soup Kitchen thinks if it is receiving money from the notices.
I never said it was particularly objectionable - I said I was happy for them in my post., But I've started my reasons why the article doesn't fill my heart with joy. It was just a passing thought.
I'm sure they're happy about it. Why shouldn't the be? They were happy when we were giving them money from our beer.
That's off the scale stupid. It's about class and privilege and has absolutely nothing to do with race.

And stop stripping all the context from my comments to try and make cheap points. It's pathetic.
There’s never any comment on what posh *actually* means, just that *they* are all cunts, even though we know nothing of these people’s history or income.
Oh, I see you've belatedly popped in to try and stir the pot with some pointless gibberish that bears no relation to what was actually said. Well done. Zzzzz
Nonsense. People get judged (often quite harshly) on the basis of something they say, something they choose to eat or drink, where they choose to live. When nothing is known about their background, income, political views. I find that odd.Oh, I see you've belatedly popped in to try and stir the pot with some pointless gibberish that bears no relation to what was actually said. Well done. Zzzzz
I can't be bothered with his. At no point have I ever said that all posh people are cunts. Not once. You're just making stuff up to try and score points. It's sad, really.
Try rereading what I wrote FFS. Jeez.
I haven’t, but only because there’s been nothing on I want to see. I have popped into the bar a couple of times though.
Its all part of 'people from outside Brixton move to Brixton' shocker. I'm not from Brixton as I'm sure a lot of people on these boards are not either. It's taken a while, but I feel welcome here now.
